Next time you have a nice lunch planned and your husband asks if you want to go out for Japanese. Don’t say yes. You know it’s going to take him forever to get ready and you are going to get to too hungry and then want everything on the menu.
It threw off my whole day!!

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 [...]

Japanese is my respite for dinner out! It ain’t so bad!!! Feel more guilt it if were Chinese and/or Thai, and/or Malaysian.
That is one of my hardest times, when I wait too long and get TOO hungry!
Have a great weekend! =0
I love it too…and I always overdo the sodium and feel the bloat for a few days.
hi
i am just starting ww online for my first time. i have never had to worry bout my weight but after 2 kids i want to drop about 10 lbs and get in shape and eat better. your site is great. is it ok if i ask some tips. my biggest problem is snacking, i have a major sweet tooth.
I have just seen your this page. It’s awesome. I have started my weight loss program at the beginning of 2007. I managed to loose about 15 lbs. I still need to go about 25 lbs more to reach my goal. This may be the most stupid question you must have ever had, but that’s the problem that is kiiling me, it’s HUNGER !!!! I need to stay around 1200 Cal and I can loose about 1 lb a week, but with that calorie range, I am hungry and starving all the time. That’s the reason my weight loss has been so slow. Any idea of how to deal with it.
Thanks much.
p.s. Thanks much for your posting food journals. That’s very thoughful of you.
OR….you could say yes, have an apple to tide you over while hubby gets ready, and eat light at the restaurant! I’d hate for you to say no to having a nice lunch out with “The Husband.”
Roni that so sounds like me LOL. MY darling wife loves eating out and for the most part we do at least twice a week. So I have really built this into my life. I did get lucky last night as the little boy was tired and did not want to eat out which drove mommy off the wall. We got to stay in for the night but I am not counting on that to happen today.
HI EVERYONE,
I HAVE BEEN DRINKING THOSE SPECIAL K PROTIEN WATERS AND THEY REALLY HELP KEEP YOU FULL. I DRINK ONE IN THE MORNING AFTER OR DURING MY WORKOUT AND THEN ONE AT NIGHT A COUPLE HOURS AFTER DINNER TO FEND OFF THE NIGHTIME MUNCHIES. I HAVE FOUND THEM VERY HELPFUL. GIVE THEM A TRY.
…..JAMI
I love japanese food but I totally avoid the bowls. I love miso soup and it’s only like 1 point for a cup. You would like the sunomo too I think. It’s a cucumber salad that has some ginger and rice wine vinegar in it. Also low in points. And edamame is great. and it takes you a while to open those pods in between bites!
I agree that an apple (or carrots or cheese stick or anything!) would have been good to eat while you waited for hubby.
Mmmmmm Japanese food! Isn’t it heavenly? You can eat so much and still have a (relatively) points-friendly meal.
But yeah, the “wait too long to eat” thang messes with my will-power, too.
I’m new to your blog, BTW, and I’m really enjoying reading it. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Thanks guys, and I’m sorry it takes me so long to respond to comments.
WorriedSoul – If you are that hungry you need to eat! Trying bulking up your food with LOTS of veggies. I always feel better when I eat more for the same number of calories.
