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 [...]

You have no idea how much I appreciated this post — especially the piece on emtional eating (and I’m excited to check out the recommended books) and the relationship with self esteem issues. I know it was emotionally difficult for you to discuss, but it helped me — immensely. A giant THANK YOU!
Okay MISS your videos really need to come with a disclaimer ** GRAB some TISSUES! ** Thank you for being so open with us, I hope you know we are tearing up right along with you on the other side of the screen!
loved this video post. looking forward to seeing more about the topic of emotional eating! i agree that a lot of it is habit too. i think many times it starts off emotional (such as eating at a certain time or eating a certain thing because of something emotional) and then that happens so often that it becomes a habit and makes it so hard to break.
I was so glad to hear you answer the emotional eating question, it seems to be a problem so many of us have, but you’re an example that it’s not impossible to learn to deal with that, so that it does not affect one’s health or weight.
Roni, your answer to the first question had me in tears. I’m having a similar situation with my two closest friends, but it’s not about weight loss. Thanks for answering the question. I hope I can “take the high ground” and get back into their lives so they can once again be a part of mine. Thank you!
Hi Roni,
Another book/program you may be interested in if you are exploring emotional eating is Shrink Yourself (www.shrinkyourself.com). It’s helping me understand why I reach for food to make myself feel better when experiencing a whole range of negative emotions such as anger, loneliness, sadness etc.
Awesome timing on this one Roni. I have had a major issue with snack attacks for the last two weeks. I eat my dinner, feel satisfied and get the “I wants”. Today I am taking the bull by the horn and not giving in to the cravings unless I am hungry.
My advice to the gal asking about impatience is to stay busy! Sounds silly, but if I pack my day with activities (even if it’s a nap, LOL!) I feel like time flies. That’s a little part of why I go to the gym 5 days a week–so I’m not bored and impatient.
But I totally know what the gal meant–i can’t wait to reach goal either.
I love you videos. Did you work everything out with you friend?
Thanks Roni. I am so grateful for your insights. I will think about writing a letter.
Maranda – It did!
I’ve been having a hard time since returning to school, and your videos really helped me out tonight. I’m getting back on track this week and tried to make dinner and it didnt work out as well as I wanted and all I wanted to do was order chinese food. But I did some laundry and folded while listening to your videos. I know that some of the questions are hard (I tear up during a bunch of them) but by answering them, you always make me think and help me out during a difficult time :)
Thanks Roni!
Some advice regarding impatience during weight loss. Take time to recognize your milestones along the way and reward yourself (without food). Whether it’s losing a certain number of pounds, or when you fit into a smaller size, or even when your measurements go down by a certain amount. Congratulate yourself for the “little” accomplishments (this can also include drinking enough water every day, or exercising “X” number of days a week- pat yourself on the back!!).
If you look at the big picture, it’s easy to get impatient while you’re trying to reach that (seemingly faraway) goal. But if you break it into smaller chunks, and celebrate successes along the way, the journey is much less of a drudgery.
