I feel asleep…
that’s right, asleep! I was so exhausted last night that I passed out on the couch before Fear Itself even came on and I was so looking forward to seeing it because I’ve missed it for weeks.
Needless to say, because I fell asleep, I didn’t post my menu, I didn’t clean out my inbox and I did get any work done. *sigh* BUT I did get some much needed rest and now I feel rejuvenated! I don’t think I’ve gotten more then 6 hours a sleep in months! It just seems like no matter what time I fall asleep my body (and sometimes the toddler) wakes me up before 7AM every day. I used to make fun of my mom for the same thing and alas it’s happened to me. The body clock has kicked it up a notch I suppose. You’d think it would also happen to the husband but noooo that man can sleep 14 hours in a row if you let him. I’m SO jealous!
Anyway, yesterday was a "food day". I feel like I was eating constantly but I made great choices. Even limiting the "free" pasta that was offered at the office. I didn’t make it to the gym but I’m about to head out for boot camp right now. I also may have some exciting news on the running front. I’ll keep you posted!
Oh! and something screwy is happening with my email. I’m not getting any comments from the site. First the hacker, now this. I’m about to strangle my hosting company. I think it’s time to upgrade! Any super-bloggers out they with hosting suggestions?

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 [...]

running news!? Are you going to run a race?!?
You know, sometimes you just have to do nothing. And not feel bad about it. :)
Happy Friday!
I use Web Hosting Pad and they are FABULOUS!
I’m glad to see you count corn on the cob as 1 point per ear too!
I am running my first race at the end of Septmeber…cant wait to hear your race news!
I have that body clock too :) They say the hours of sleep from midnight to about 3 are the most important and I believe it because when I am disturbed by a child at that time….I feel crappy the next day. Some times, a girl just needs her sleep :)
Hi Roni. Have you seen the blueberry-mango crisp that Dani Spies just posted a couple days ago?

You may be interested in reading “Appetites” by Caroline Knapp.
Don’t be turned off by the advertised subject matter if you look it up on Amazon. It’s quite a bit more broad than that.
OK, I’m STILL not getting email notifications of your comments and it’s pissing me off!
Yes Gotta.. I did which is why I was prompted to experiment!! She is genius, isn’t she!
Jessie, just read the description, it’s sounds very good! I’ll check it out on my next library trip! Thanks for the recommendation!
Running news is definitely a race, I may be joining a TEAM! Not sure yet, I’ll be posting ASAP when I hear!
Roni, I guess you know what a great cook you are! Almost every time I read your food journal for the day, I am tempted to cook what you have listed. So tomorrow I am looking forward to making your summer veggie bake, and some of that sweet and tangy salmon-mmmmm mmmmm! So fun to look forward to food, AND know it is healthy for you!
Great quote! I just might have to put it in my blog!
