Ask Roni _v09s2 – Eating Out and My Confidence

On September 12, 2008 By roni

Second session and it’s back in iTunes! Unfortunately, I needed to create a new page so I lost my reviews. :~( So if you are feeling generous please re-review me. I’d appreciate it! You can’t search for me yet, I don’t think the database has been updated, but if you click on this link it [...]

A Run, A New Mix and A Food Journal

On September 11, 2008 By roni

I’m forgetting something on my food journal, I just know I am but that’s ok, I had a great day! House is clean, (some) work’s been done, made a new mix (see below) and got a good run in.

Ask Roni _v09s1 – On again off again dieting, Cravings, Shopping and How I Began

On September 11, 2008 By roni

Here’s the first session of the videos I recorded yesterday. I’m still working on the iTunes Podcast issue. I needed to set up a whole other feed for them which means my old iTunes page will not longer be relevant and I lose all my reviews. :~( It’s a long strange, frustrating story that I [...]

“Racing Roni”

On September 10, 2008 By roni

Me?

The adolescent who refused to run with her baseball team. The high schooler who couldn’t make the softball team. The lazy college kid that drove ½ mile to campus. The post grad that did no physical activity accept walking around a grocery store.

I was called “Racing Roni” today in Boot Camp… [...]

Joseph’s Middle East Bakery Lavash Bread

On September 9, 2008 By roni

I found this bread a few days ago at my local BJ’s. I never heard of Lavash bread but it looked good, like a huge rectangle of flat bread (similar to flat out). Glancing at the nutritional information reveals it’s only 50 calories a serving! With 2g of fat and 3g of fiber. Now don’t [...]

How many hours of sleep do you get?

On September 8, 2008 By roni

I’m tired. I mean, really, tired. I haven’t gotten more then 6 hours of sleep a night in months, maybe years. I’m sure other moms can relate. We are just so gosh darn busy, keeping house, working, quality family time, time for ourselves, errands, shopping, I mean really, my days are so scheduled anymore I [...]

I’ve been Nominated!

On September 8, 2008 By roni

OK, this is a shame-less plea for votes. I was so excited last night when I got the email notifying me I was nominated for a Divine Caroline Love This Site Award! Normally I have to enter myself in this kind of stuff. :~P

The winners get $250 and as much as I’d like [...]

A Sweaty Sensational Sunday!

I can’t help myself, I have to blurt it out…. I RAN 4 MILES TODAY! Me? **looking from side to side** *pointing finger to self* That’s right, ME and I have PROOF…

Now I did walk twice for about a total of a minute.

Review: Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Heart Healthy VitaTop and Some Fun News!

On September 7, 2008 By roni

Last year I tried the Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Flavored VitaBrownie and they soon became my favorite Vitalicious product, until now! Recently I got a chance to try the Dark Chocolate Pomegranate VitaTop and I like it even better! I mean they taste identical but the size and shape of the VitaTop is nicer, especially when [...]

Fighting the Funk – Making What You Want out of What You Have

On September 7, 2008 By roni

AACK! I could complain about a lot of things but I don’t want to get into them. The point is, I’ve been in a FUNK all day. And what do I want to do to solve that funk? EAT! Of course.

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 [...]
