I hope you don’t mind but I’m bringing back the food finds. At first I thought I would post all food related stuff on my new food blog GreenLiteBites but that really has become more of a recipe blog then a product blog and I like it that way. So (not that you needed this big long explanation) I decided to continue to write reviews for low point products I find here. I realize I’m not the only one who does this type of thing and I don’t have a lot of man power but, honestly, I love grocery shopping, I love discovering new things and I love sharing. I hope that’s ok. ;~)
As for me… the MUCHIES HAVE SUBSIDED! Finally! However I totally didn’t bring enough food for my first day back at work. I didn’t have the munchies after lunch I was SARVING! I mean stomach growing hungry. And I had nothing left except a cookie from a co-worker and a handful candy. Not the best choice but I ate just enough to stop the stomach from growling. Then it was home for a nice dinner.
Sometimes you are in the zone and sometimes you just aren’t. If that would have happen to me a few days away I think I would have gone through a drive thru.
Tomorrow is all about the Dance Class! I CAN’T WAIT!
Until then.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

I can’t wait to hear all about the dance class. Hubby and I have been toying with the idea and there is a great dance studuio in town that gives couples classes for just about any type of dance so I’m anxious to hear what you think about it.
I’m glad the product reviews are staying, I’m always looking for new products to try and your opinion has a lot of weight in my house :)
I am so envious…my husband is not a dancer..slow dancing not a problem…the only time he danced fast was at our wedding almost two years ago…have fun I look forward to reading about your class.
Hi Roni,
The 94% fat free popcorn you have on your food log for yesterday, you have listed 4 points, was this a typo? I thought it was 1 point. Just wondering. Thank you :)
Well guys I can’t wait to go!! As for the popcorn, not when you eat the whole big bag!
I made it a link to my popcorn post, I hope that helps…. http://weightwatchen.com/2007/02/popcorn-points-question-answered-i.html
You have never been more right about being in the zone. Last night, I was starving after work, but instead of pigging out on some crap foods, I just continued to be hungry until I finished fixing what I had planned for dinner. It’s not good to let myself get that hungry, but at no point did I think I should go grab a Snickers or something dumb like that!
Hooray for no more munchies Roni!
Hooray for slaying the munchie demon! Go you!
Me like product reviews. Food good. Mmmmmm.
Hey Roni,
Just wanted to say thanks for your site…it has given me the motivation to start this program..i bought the books on ebay…my boyfriend was even counting his points yesterday…i am only five days in to the program but only got interested after coming across your page. I tried to comment yesterday but for some reason it didn’t post…anyways I am 23 and looking to get rid of the “beer fat” from college…hope I can succeed!!! thanks for your support and webpage to give me the courage to do so!!
i love your food finds, i’ve tried many’a product after seeing them here… i had that spicy black bean dip tonight in my chicken quesadilla and it was fabulous! keep it up! :o)
I LOVE your food finds!!!
I can’t wait to hear about the dance class. Last night I did a ballroom dance class and tonight I did a Zumba class! Loved them both!
im so glad i found your blog!!! i feel like it is going to be great inspiration for me. you look great! i love that you post your daily points and food ideas!!!
i just started WW for what will be the last time. i was on it before and lost 45lbs, then 22 lbs, but i didnt make the “lifestyle” change so over time it all came back. now im on it to make major changes FOR LIFE! wish me luck :)
Ok,I know 100 Calorie snacks are “old news” but I tried one tonight that was a great find – especially when everyone in the office is receiving their Girl Scout Cookies they ordered. Keebler 100 Calorie bags of “Grasshopper” cookies – taste JUST LIKE (texture same too)Girl Scout Thin Mints without the guilt. Satisfies the craving for them without clearing a whole row of the real ones! Just thought I would share.
I just posted the Grasshopper comment – just wanted to add you get your Thin Mint craving satisfied for about 2 points instead of 2 points PER COOKIE for the Girl Scout version. YIKES
if you pop a big bag of that popcorn, it’s really hard not to eat the whole thing!
