So much for the early to bed concept, it’s just about midnight and I’m up playing with my brand new toy!
Besides the new computer, I accomplished a lot today. First the toddler and I had a little fun in the kitchen making fruit kabobs. Then, it was off to the gym where I actually ran for 5K on the treadmill. I’m still in a state of shock! I mean, me, a runner. HA! When did this chubby, lazy computer geek with the short spiky hair turn into a skinny, active MAC user who runs for fun with a long ponytail flapping in the wind?? I mean seriously, it’s just crazy.
Ok, back to these M’s. We covered the midnight, the MAC, the Movie so onto the Music. A few people have asked what’s on my iPod for workouts. WOW that’s tough for me because I have SO much. I could probably do a weekly workout mix post. Hey, w-a-i-t a minute, that’s not a bad idea! I’m not making any promises but when I make a new mix, I try and post it. For now this is my running mix, and I’m happy to report it was just about long enough for my 5K!
Just so you know I always start and end with slower songs for a warm up and cool down.

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 [...]

Roni, Congrats again on the run…I have been training for a 1/2 marathon since Jan. I have had to change my date of the race due to being sick for a few weeks but I am still running…hear rate is key…find your zone!!
Also, I have been a MAC user for the past 4 years…I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Enjoy the ease of computer work!!!!!
welcome to the mac world! the husband and i both have mac laptops and we will never go back to PCs!
Congrats on the run!!! My first 5k felt like it would kill, it was my very first day of cross country training! You did much better.
Mad World is an amazing song.
Once you go Mac you never go back. Mac’s are awesome. Just make sure to take the time to back up everything. This Christmas my hubby and I both got new Mac computers. Two weeks ago my hard drive just up and quit. I had never backed ANYTHING up. I lost a ton of stuff. I do not think this breakdown is common for Macs. My old Mac is still up and running just fine. But the new one had to take a vacation and get repaired. Thank goodness for the warranty. If you have any questions just post it on your forums…I am sure tons of poeple will answer you.
Congrats on the 5k. That’s fantastic! Running outside is definitely different than running on the treadmill. The treadmill has more cushioning than running on concrete or asphalt, so it’s definitely a good idea to get in at least part of your training in similar conditions to what you’ll have on race day.
Congrats on the Mac, too! I’ve been using Macs for nearly 20 years. I have that same MacBook Pro. :-)
I laugh that people often say to me
YOU SHOULD SO GET A MAC. YOU MIGHT THINK YOUD HATE IT BUT YOUD LOVE IT!!
to which Im compelled to respond:
I KNOW Id love it—you buyin?
congrats on your new toy!
I LOVE your blog! I check it out daily and greenlitebites too-love it! I don’t enjoy cooking bc it’s hard to find healthy recipes but you have made it easier for me!
I’m a runner and it’s an addiction-just you wait and see!
Maybe you can help me. I got scared when you mentioned 6 and 7 MPH. If I do that I struggle. I can jog at 4.5 – 5 and make it through two miles. Is there a target speed I need to be working toward? But I do run faster times outside….treadmills kinda freak me out a little. I know I’m odd….everyone else seems to enjoy them.
LOVE IT! Your music mix that is. You’re as schizophrenic as I am with music! And Debaser is serioulsy my favorite Pixies song. It makes me dance everytime!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
LOL BACKYARDIGANS?? I actually enjoy listening and watching the backyardigans with my two toddlers. I know what song you are talking about “GO,GO,GO.” It will probably be with me the rest of the day! Great job on the 5K.
we will be mac users for our next computer. I’m jealous!!
Thanks for posting your music mix! I checked out the videos for them on Youtube – love The Cat Empire!
Congrats on your run!
Ok, congrats on the 5K. I have never been able to run for more than 4 minutes but you are inspiring. I have also considered getting a MAC. I have heard from others they are great.
Also, I really do not think I am too much older than you but I have heard of NONE of those artists on your list. I will have to check them out. Thanks for all the great posts, Roni.
aHHH… the Mac… I bought the iMac last year, and I am mad that I never did it before. It’s just wonderful… Did you get the .mac program? I love it. It’s just so simple to use. CONGRATS
Congrats on the run WOW! I was playing around with one of those ipod fitness trainer sites that mixes in your itunes music. I went to set it up and realized I own no big people music these days. I guess big red car might be fun to do on a run and maybe not.
Gotta get some big girl music.
Welcome to the mac world it is awesome.
Yay for 5k! You’ll keep surprising yourself the longer you run, everytime. I am cracking up that you have the Backyardigans on your iPod.
WOW so much fun stuff in this post! Thank you for posting your playlist, I am desperate need of some music that will keep me going in my own training for a 5K :)
Congrats on the run….
did you watch biggest loser…how amazing what those people can do!!!
I blogged again..trying to get better at this :)
Keep up the great work!!!
My DH went MAC last year and says he’ll never go back. He’s looking to get me my own personal one so I can surf the net in bed or on the couch or anywhere! ;)
And my DH is on his 3rd hard drive in a year…but he bought a re-furbished MAC so that may be why…but just to warn you. I’d get the Apple care.
Gotta love The Backyardigans!
I’m downloading it now. :-)
welcome to the Cult of Mac! My partner converted me almost a year ago – and then I got my job to buy me a new MacBook Air.
Thanks for the music listing – I’m kinda interested in trying one of those weight-loss-podcasting-
downloadble-motivational-
whatever-they-are services.
your side bars on your food site are annoying!
Thanks Guys!
Alisha – Not sure what a target speed would be either. I know a nice slow jog is 6. I’m going to try and run the whole 5K at that speed if I can.
Anon – in what way? I just love anonymous, negative comments that don’t offer constructive feedback, only critism.
PS! I’m writing this on the MAC! LOL I am loving it!
