This isn’t my best video but you know me, I’m still gonna post it. :~)
I really had a hard time finding words and expressing my thoughts, a.) because I was exhausted and b.) because the last two questions where quite intense.

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, you are reading my mind again. lol I just linked my inactive-until-yesterday new blog on WordPress to my own domain name. I’m formally trained in computer design and web design (though it’s been several years and much has changed), and I would eventually like to be able to use my new Dreamweaver (versus my old 8-yr-old version) to develop something I can personalize even more. Thanks for the input. Now I know that I’m on the right track for putting my thoughts onto my own site.
I’m starting out just tracking my C25K progress (begins 9-1-08), and hope that I can make it something more in the future (actually, my hubby is the one who told me to post my own healthy versions of recipes after telling him about yours – LOL!).
i love your videocasts!! i’m really glad that a question about binging came up and even MORE glad at how honest you were. its something i struggle with and even though i’m not medically diagnosed with it, i know 100% i have a binging disorder. and i know thats one of the reasons why i can’t lose this weight, and the weight is also a BIG reason for pushing me to binge b/c i get so discouraged and down about it. i feel that once i get to a body that i am happy and comfortable in, it will make not binging a lot easier. of course it won’t cure it or anything, but really the discouragement of my overweightness is that main thing that makes me binge.
even though u don’t have the “answer” to the binging problem, your honesty helps IMMENSELY!
I love watching your videos. The binge eating hits way too close to home for me. I dont know what happens sometimes, it as if you zone out and eat and eat and eat and then you finally come back and cannot believe how much you have ate.

I am in my second year of maintenance and I am ALSO on my second year of working with an eating disorder therapist. I got to maintenance ‘on my own’ and actually started working with the therapist nearly at the exact time that I hit my goal range.
I strongly encourage anyone with eating disorder behavior to be evaluated by a therapist.
Most of what you read in blog land (in my opinion) is eating disordered thinking. But it is rarely labeled as such.
People struggle along thinking that it is just them – being too weak, or impulsive, or at fault. And (in my opinion) it takes an outsider to help sort this all out and move on to healthier relationships with our bodies/thinking.
I feel strongly that there is usually a “reason” behind the fat. Getting rid of the fat does not usually/always solve “it”.
I was determined – this time – that I was going to not regain. And working with my therapist helps tremendously. I see her once a week. She is a certified eating disordered therapist.
I think that when one reads that someone sees an eating disorder therapist – one’s thoughts immediately go to extremes.
My “behaviors” are not extreme. I have never been hospitalized for eating disorders. Most people would not look at me and think that I had an eating disorder. But I certainly do.
Many bloggers would find my history of yo yo weight gain/loss, unhappiness, feeling lost, difficulties, very familiar to their own.
Oh my goodness … I just downloaded your last two podcasts and listened to them while I took a nice, long walk — it was a slow one thanks to my still-not-quite-right knee (it went out last Saturday and this is the first time I’ve been able to do anything resembling serious activity since). But I was out for 38 minutes! And the time just flew because I was listening to you answer questions.
Love the podcasts!
As for binge eating, I was never formally diagnosed either. I talked with the therapist I was seeing for a while, and she said my eating didn’t fall into the category of clinical binge eating disorder … but I sure do eat when I’m stressed or sad or even happy.
I’ll have to try the butternut squash fries trick next time I want a lot of tasty, but still good for me, food!
personally, i have gone to two separate eating disordered therapists. and the main thing i am always always told is to journal, which i guess can help, but i don’t want to pay any more money to hear that. im pretty sure i know “why” i binge, but sometimes knowing the cause doesn’t always help either. and though i agree that losing weight won’t cure anything, i believe it is a platform to regaining one’s life and happiness.
I think the topic of binge eating is misunderstood. It is just as complicated and serious as alcoholism, drug use, gambling additions. I am firmly convinced that binge eating is a disease that is part behavioral and part chemical. Until the medical community treats it as a disease, those of us who struggle with the addiction have to keep finding methods to control the addiction. What makes binge eating so tricky is that with other addictions, you have to completely divorce yourself from the activity. Alcoholics quit drinking, gamblers completely stop gambling. Here, you are being asked to manage your compulsion. Like any other addiction, you have to take it day by take. Seek a therapist, keep tempting foods out of the house, do whatever it takes. I believe that in time when the disease is more understood, there will be more help available. Hang in there.
I think eating disorders are one of the hardest things to deal with because your body needs food to survive, but you battle with it everyday. Most people have the idea that if you have an eating disorder, you are stick thin but this is not true for many (including myself). This is part of the reason why many women do not get help. In the end, an eating disorder is not about food, it is a way to deal with an emotion that is out of control. I’ve been bulimic for a long time and it has changed my life dramatically. If anyone feels like they have a problem, see a therapist or a doctor because the worse it gets, the harder it is to get help. I’ve been inpatient treatment centers and once you get to that point, you wish you had dealt with the problem in the beginning. If you go to a therapist, find one that will work for you. When I started school, I had to find a new therapist and his new technique really helped me. If you look for one, go “shopping” for the one that works best for you!
Watching this video post made me want to blog about my experiences with binging. Feel free to read it at http://www.keriover.com/5september2008.html
