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 love the videos! I appreciate all you do. God bless you!
I came across your blog from mizfit’s. You have some awesome stuff here! I just started my journey and am so inspired by all of you. I just watched your pizza video. Your son is adorable! I made pizza with my kids last weekend and we tried thinly sliced zucchini on top with the other healthy toppings..it was wonderful~ making pizza at home is so fun, not to mention economical and nutritious. Thanks for sharing ;)
I am ADORING these videos. Something that is always missing with blogs is emotions. We all obviously try to convey emotions but it doesn’t always come through. I loved seeing you laugh, nearly cry, etc. It just makes a blog that much more endearing.
I’m so glad to hear that your husband is finally getting on board. I laughed that it took 3 years of watching you going through your journey! My husband is finally after 1 1/2 years going to the gym more, and eating baked chips with his salsa, so I can totally relate!!!
Another great video, Roni!
I feel very lucky to have found this site. I am just starting my journey, and I’m not the type of person to post a website or blog, but I have to say that I’m enjoying the heck out of yours!
I’ve tried a couple of your recipes and they are to die for. With regard to the “lead by example”, I’ve got the opposite situation–my husband is a bit of a health nut, and that’s how he chooses to be supportive. Let me tell you, Roni, the “lead by example” idea really works!
just a thought for the lady with the new baby that wishes she was losing faster.
My weight loss took 2 years almost exactly. And I DID work on TONE the whole way down – and the plus of this is that my skin and flab DID “soak up” as I lost.
Not a bikini wearing body – but no folds or hanging pockets around my thighs or butt or abs. I have a flat tummy now. And I think that the slow, steady loss and the concentration on tone helped with this. There are plus points to losing slowly for some people. (I ended up with pockets of excess skin on my chest wall under my arm pits – that is my only ICK area and it hides easily with clothes.)
Also the lady with the new baby can easily do pilates type tone work at home tending the baby. And she can put the baby in a front pack and WALK. Exercise does not have to be the gym for her. she does not have to wait – can work slowly and build up.
I am 47 with 3 kids and 5′ 6″ and was 215 lbs+ (didn’t get on the scale at my heaviest so I only know what I was after the first couple weeks) and now have my “happy range” between 150 – 155lbs.
LOVE the video question/answer sessions!!!
For the woman who’s 5’10″, I am, too. But I’m only 36. My WW goal is 170 and my personal goal is 160. I stalled out at 169 while doing Atkins, and was quite happy — and felt great — at that weight.
Food for thought: Tyra Banks (who’s also 5’10″) was at 160 when the press was calling her “fat” in that bathing suit. I’d love to be 160!
Arlene, I know what you mean re: Tyra. I remember being in middle school thinking that I was fat @ 105 lbs. I am still about the same height but I weight a bit more than that.
My goal weight is 125 lb, but I am not tied to a number … I want to look as good as I’ve been feeling lately. I haven’t worn a swimsuit in years! I can’t wait.

Hey Roni! It’s Erin from the this week’s video. I did keep with the weight watchers plan and I am now on week 13. I’ve lost a total of 12lbs in 13 weeks and am very pleased with my progress. And actually, my family and I are all doing it together so it seems to help when you have others with you all working towards the same goals.
Thanks for attacking my question (and the questions of others). I think you hit all of the comments (in regards to my question) right on the head and I appreciate your perspective. Keep up the great work and enjoy you’re vacation!
I love this blog. The whole community is great. Arlene – I’m 5’10 too (and 33 years old). I was up to 211 but on my way back down – I’m 5 weeks into WW. I was 165 when I got married and thought that was good. But my goal is 159 – I think my head would explode to see something below 160. The lowest I’ve been is 135, but that was eons ago and too sickly skinny!!
I hated the whole Tyra fat thing! I mean REALLY???
Oh and have I mentioned I love Roni’s blog yet in this post???
