I don’t have much time tonight. My site was hacked again! This time it wasn’t as invasive but still. Some Jackass interjected Viagra ads into all of my files! WTH? I mean seriously!
*deep breath*
I’m not going to focus anymore energy on it. Anyway, here’s my quick food journal today. I’m returning to my simple format. I want to track but doing a full week in loss mode is too much for me right now. I have a lot going on.
So on to this snack idea!
Tonight I just wanted something. You know, “something”. So I took a VitaTop out of the freezer and let it defrost on the counter for a few minutes. Then I and cut it in half. Not in half, like in half but in half so I ended up with two full circles. Does that make sense? Then I proceed to top one of the halves with ¼ cup of Breyer’s Free and squished it down with the other half of muffin. TADA! 2 point Ice cream sandwich!! How COOL is that?! Yea, yea I could have bought a skinny cow or something, but I didn’t have any on hand and this was a nice substitute.
Sorry no picture, I’m a bit lazy tonight. I’ll snap next time I make it. OK, Gotta run.

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 [...]

that’s awful about the hacker! Some people really need to get a life! The ice cream sandwich sounds yummy and easy. I am always looking for a quick snack like that for the kiddos or me or whoever just happened to drop by. Today all I had for my nieces was healthy pb cookies I made on Sat. and some cheese ;) I will have to keep the freezer stocked with supplies for summer treats!
I was wondering what was going on. I went to the site and there was a bunch of file folders showing with a bunch of code.
It’s so unfair – in the US you have soooooo much choice when it comes to food for healthy eating. In the UK you have to go to 5 different supermarkets or just eat fruit and vegetables. You would be so disappointed with food over here
It makes life so much harder for us british wannabe-slims.
I have no control with those.
one top makes (makes. it’s out of my control :)) me eat 12 more….
Hi Roni,
Another good low fat “ice cream” sandwich idea. Take the chocholate flavored graham crackers (not chocholate covered!) pot fat free or low fat whip cream in between to make a sandwich and freeze for several hours. It is very good! I usually make them in the morning if I am going to have them in the afternoon/evening. My son has always liked them.

The summer bake sounds wonderful and light! I wonder how it would taste with Fiber One, or maybe that would be too sweet. I’ll have to experiment.
In a dish like that, a little cheese goes a long way, especially if you go with a mixture of moz. with parmesan or something. The “tang” of the parm allows you to use much less.
Sorry about the technical difficulties, Roni. I wonder if these guys just choose their sites randomly without looking at the subject matter?!?
I just found your site about a week ago and love it. I just started blogging about my weight journey and you have given me courage to be real about the struggle. I like your food journal tool alot. Thanks for sharing.
That is a fantastic idea! Unfortunately, I lack the will power to keep ice cream in the house, so I may try this with a little Cool Whip Free. :)
Sorry to hear about the technical difficulties. Hackers stink!
Also, I realize my advice here is completely unsolicited, but your menu doesn’t look very full to me. I realize you weigh a lot less than I do, but it doesn’t look like you’re eating very much, especially if you’re working out a lot. And you’re not meeting the GHGs. It’s just something I noticed.
Love your site, and the ice cream sandwich sounds yummy! I might have to investigate. :-)
that’s funny, well not really. I have been getting serious spam about penis size as well.
Hehe, I kept reading the line “Not in half, like in half but in half so I ended up with two full circles.” and wouldn’t let myself move on until I got it. Then yes, finally it clicked (I never said I was a geometry expert…or even novice!). Then I read further on and it makes complete sense. I wasted all that brain power. :)
Hope the site stays e.d. ads free for awhile!!

Don’t those hackers know that we don’t need viagra?? We’re all eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise here…we’ve got plenty of energy! ; )
Seriously, don’t let the hackers or critical comments get to you on a personal level. Keep up the great work, doing what you do so well. We love it!
boo hackers…
Thanks so much for all of the work that you put into this site and the others. I really like them.
Hey! I haven’t been getting your comments in my email! What is GOING on with technology lately!
Anyway…
Real quick to the person who said I didn’t eat enough, sorry no time to look back. I did that on purpose to make up for the last few days of over eating! I ate until just satisfied, I do normally eat more! Just thought I should address.
Thanks for everything guys, off to post something fun!
Roni, I’m the one who said you didn’t eat enough, and I’ll admit that I only looked at your food journal today. Thanks for the reply though!
