I’m working too late, again. I really need to get into some sort of schedule. I have this crazy project hanging over my head. I just can’t figure it out and I’m fried (Anyone know infopath and building forms with xsd’s REALLY well? LOL) So excuse my random thoughts post as this is all my brain can handle at the moment. :~)
- I did workout today, just didn’t tweat it for some reason. It was awesome, at my new gym with a new trainer. I’m totally taking advantage of my free sessions.
- I’m feeling TONS better since Saturday. I’m eating great, I feel great and your comments sure gave me a HUGE boost. Please know I appreciate all the kind words, more then you will ever know.
- I didn’t know but apparently they take professional photos during marathons. I was made aware when proofs were sent to me via email this morning! Here’s my favorite. Only because both my feet are off the ground! (ok, an because my ponytail is swinging LOL)
Other then that… the toddler is feeling much better, my insurance issue is over (or I should say I’m not devoting any more energy to it), and right now I’m actually falling asleep at my computer while watching How it’s Made on the Science Channel *cough-qeek-cough*. I should really go to bed. :~) Here’s the food journal today.
| Food | Units |
|---|---|
| grapenuts, 1/2 banana and soy milk | 5 |
| Roasted Veggie Soup with Black Beans and Bulgur with some carrots and bean dip in the side | 5 |
| yogurt | 2 |
| salisbury steak, noodles and asparagus | 7 |
| handful of peanuts split with the toddler | 2 |
| soy crisps and salsa with a laughing cow wedge | 6 |
| Total: | 27 |

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 [...]

Lovin’ the fact that marathon folks take photos. It’s like…isn’t it hard enough to run a marathon? Do we have to pose, too?
:-p

Great picture. I love the Discovery Channel shows. We watch SO many of them… If you want to talk about being a Discovery Channel geek I think my husband wins that award. He loves the show The Deadliest Catch. His favorite boat is the Northwestern…he found a company (Helly Hansen, I think) that makes fleeces for the Northwestern. He bought us matching fleeces…haha! I like the fleeces, but it shows how nerdy we are. :-)
When I walked the Chicago marathon, I got my picture snapped in Chinatown. I told someone later about it. “How’d you look?” she asked. “Fat and slow,” I replied.

That is funny Charlie! That is the picture I have in my head when I run. My butt feels like it is jiggling like crazy!

Congrats on the run!!!!

You look great running! Like LeeAnn, my face gets beet red and sweaty.
I was reading an article about the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco last weekend on SF Gate and thought of you and your half marathon goal. This line caught my eye:
“Nike, the primary sponsor, provided runners with Ghirardelli chocolate, manicures, foot massages and Tiffany necklaces. At the finish line, athletes were greeted with hugs from tuxedo-clad firemen.”
Wowee! Who *wouldn’t* want to run with that incentive?!?! :-D

I’ve been known to watch “How It’s Made” … though I tend toward the History Channel and “Modern Marvels.”
That’s a fantastic photo, and you do look great. I definitely don’t look that good when I’m exerting myself.

Glad you are feeling better – and great PIC! You should be so proud of yourself!
Also, thanks to you, spaghetti squash is always on my grocery shopping list. I just posted a new recipe on another way to use it, and its REALLY good – so good my daughter even ate it for breakfast this morning!

Just checking out your blog. I can totally relate to your story. Love the photo. It looks like the person behind you knew about the photos. You look so healthy. I’ve always wanted to do a marathon, and a triathlon. I should just commit to at least a 5 k and work towards that for now. Thanks for the inspiration.
my 7 yr old son is addicted to How it’s Made. We record them for him! Love the pic of you!

Roni,
Your pictures from the race look great! I’ve never managed to get a good one during a race. Such as this one, from right before the finish line of the half marathon I did: http://picasaweb.google.com/hollybeyhl/20088AugVABeachHalfMarathon#5245617611045539010
Maybe some people want to buy pictures of themselves good soaking wet in sweat and exhausted, but I think I’ll pass :)
