I DID IT! Yup, 40 minutes. I can’t believe it! and I was fine, I didn’t keel over, I didn’t die of a heart attack, I actually ENJOYED myself. Whoa, I’m still in shock myself. Every time I run I look more and more forward to the relay. Oh! and I did this run with a new friend I met from the site. I love finding workout buddies!
Ok, I don’t have time, I’m running out the door for poker night and then tomorrow it’s off to Mom’s for a BBQ. I will TRY to update Monday on all of these things…
- I recorded a Beer chicken in the OVEN. So YUMMY can’t wait to post it.
- I ate at Dunkin Donuts today and it was SO good and lite! Do you believe it?
- I have 2 food finds.
- A cookbook review.
- I was HACKED again and my baby was taken offline. :~(
I realize these are all very vague. I’ll fill you in later. Now, I have to leave and kick some poker arse! Then I’ll be MIA for two days.
Have a FABULOUS weekend!

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 [...]

Great job on the run! You’ll be awesome in the relay. Enjoy your weekend!!
Wow, you go! I can’t (yet) imagine. :-)
wow girl your doing awesome. I hope to be where you are soon.
Hey Roni could you remind us again what the little dots mean and also what the change in the lines mean? I remember you explained it in an old post, but I can’t find it! Thanks!
Great job! Can’t wait for the update on the teaser…hope you had a calmer second half of the weekend.
HAPPY LABOR DAY (And running with a new friend. Im thinking that THATS what I need to truly git myself running: a partner)

Way to go on the 40 minutes! How DID you find a running buddy? I’m in Southcentral PA…30 minutes from the MD line. We have a rails to trails path…but I dont’ feel safe to run it alone…
After two weeks not running (arm surgery) I’m hoping to slide back into my usual 40 minutes this Thursday. Probably will be rough…not having run in two weeks. Wish me luck!
~R.
Hey R., are you near Ohiopyle? i grew up there! live in GA now or I’d be your running buddy, I don’t have one either.
Sara – Sure! The dots are miles and the line represents my speed over distance. So the the higher the line the fast I’m gone, when it dips I’m slowing down.
runnin4fun – Never heard of it! LOL Is is in MD?
Oh and thanks everyone, loving the running!
good job on the run! Ahh…the mystery!
GREAT job Running Roni!!!

Runnin4fun…I’ve heard of Ohiopyle, but I’m not near there. A lot of people in my area talk about camping there, and riding the trail. I’ve heard it’s quite nice.
GL finding a running buddy…
~R.
Good for you, Roni!
You’re making me want to try running…….hmmm….
Hey Roni,
Wow that is so great. I ran the other night at Thomson park, you know the park that you came to with our bootcamp. I ran for about 8 min. Thought I would die at times LOL So my question to you is did you do your 40 min without stopping? I hope someone didn’t already ask you this and I am repeating the question.
Hope to hear from you again soon
Christine ( Cardio- Core Bootcamp Girl )
Christine – Actually no one asked me that! But I did, IF YOU BELIVE IT! LOL
Drop your pace to a trot and control breathing, that is my strategy!
Hey Roni!!!!!
That is amazing, I am even more amazed by you then I was before LOL. I am sooooooo impressed by that. I will try what you suggested, I think that has always been part of my problem, pacing myself. I tend to try to get out into the lead ( The competive side in me) Then I my battery runs out.
Thanks again for more great advise. Keep up all your hard work Roni, but don’t over do it, you have to have balance!
I know you know that.
Have a fantastic night. I am off to Bootcamp now I have back to back classes!
Cheers
Chris :o)
