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, great job on the videos. I am really impressed on how you handled the personal questions and well…how you handle all the questions. It is nice to see your personality come out with each video. It is a fun way to get good answers and DOES make it seem more like WW leader!
Thanks for all the advice and encouragment!
Hope you had fun at the beach!
Roni,
I loved EVERY video that you did…I can’t believe you did all those questions for us……i hope you enjoyed your vacation. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Thanks for all the answers, advice, suggestions, and most importantly motivation. Everytime that you get teary eyed or cry in a video..so do I because I believe in the motto that nobody cries alone…haha..but thanks for your motivation and because of you i’m still on my journey…so thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Roni,
These videos are great. I love them and keep coming back to see you because you’re hilarious. You’re tummy tuck pictures are so brave, thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for posting, even on your holiday!

I love that you are so honest and forthcoming with your surgery information. This is something that is hard to find “personal” information and I appreciate that you are so helpful with your experiences and your pictures. You are a true friend to all in blog land. And you handle yourself very well. Kind and well spoken.
I think that you provide so much more through your website and doing what you do in general than you ever would being a ww leader. If I haven’t said this enough Thank you for you time, stories, ideas, and dedication to all of us.
Excellent video. As far as the way you handled the personal kid question, I think you handled it like a real class act. It was so endearing that you answered it. I think you gave just the right amount of attention to a question that is in fact personal. It was obvious that you wanted to be helpful and honest. Thank you. But you know what?If ever there is a time when you don’t feel comfortable answering a question that you feel is too personal, know that you reserve the right to keep information to yourself. I would hope your readers would understand that. Your blog followers seem pretty loyal to you so I’m sure most would. Thank you for sharing and doing all of that work to be sure we’d have something to tune in to while you’re away.
Ok Girlfriend, you are awesome, I have to check in on a daily basis to see whats new. You are awesome, keep it up, You are to cute and fun!
Hi Roni
I just sat and watched all 4 of your video chats. I love that you are so committed to helping others with their weight loss journeys. I have just started my own blog as I am trying to loose weight, but also just getting over depression.
I have been loosing and gaining the same 2 pounds for the last couple of weeks and your videos are just the kick up the butt I needed to motivate myself again.
Thanks for all your hard work – there are a lot of people out here that appreciate your hard work and dedication

Just wanted to stop by and say that I loved your Pizza recipe video on Mizfit and I love your site as well! I also think that it is great sharing so much for others and trying to help out others!
Another awesome video, Roni!
I was particularly impressed by your only kid response. You call your reasons for not having another child selfish, but I think just the opposite is true.
You understand that you and hubby are comfortable as a comfy, cozy 3-person unit, and you understand that you are stretched thin enough between your little one and personal interests. I think it would be REALLY selfish to know that you are at maximum capacity, and then have another child anyway. You’d be doing yourself, your current child, your hubby, and the new addition all a disservice.
I applaud you on a number of levels. The kid decision was well thought out and eloquently stated.
Hey Roni..just wanted to say great job on the videos. It is neat to see your personality shine through. I commend you for your decisions..not because I agree or disagree with them, but because they are what is right for you and no one else..as it should be. Way to go! I hope you had a fabulous vacation.
Roni,
Great job answering the very personal kid question. I’ve often wondered whether you had decided the toddler was to be your only child, especially given the tummy tuck, but never had the courage to ask–I’m surprised you answered, but so glad you did. I appreciate your honesty. I am TTC and therefore planning my own family. Just that decision alone was very personal and tough to make (athough you’d never know it by all the questions of when we are going to have kids…) I think your open dialogue about your choice very refreshing. I never understood why so many women feel compelled to bash those who choose differently (the SAHM vs. working mom debate is worse than the political scene as far as mud-slinging!) Thank God we have the choice, right? The fact that you didn’t judge others in your answer shows again what an honest and thoughtful person you are.
PS We were on vacation at the same time! Welcome back and I hope you had a nice break!
Roni, I just finished watching all the videos. Great advice and once again very motivating. Now I have to commit to my blog and start doing it more regularly. Thanks for all that you do that helps all of us! I’m glad you had a great vacation!
FYI, To the lady with the question on whether the tummy tuck was covered or not. I recently had a tummy tuck and I did try to get part of it covered by having the doctor request a “panniculectomy” which is just removal of the apron (or pannicula) of skin that hangs down below the belly button over the pubic area. However, the criteria by insurance is that you have to have 3 months of documented health issues caused by the hanging skin (like rashes or hygenic problems) I did not. Hope that helps.
