My Store is Open for Business!
*phew* I’ve had the busiest morning EVER! I just finished posting Cold Brewed Cucumber Tea – Video Post for GreenLiteBites, which I recorded this morning. I cleaned up the kitchen for that and then messed it again making egg sandwiches for the husband and I for lunch. Then I recorded 2 more Ask Roni Videos and I’m actually making headway on my inbox.
Then the doorbell rang…
Mr. UPS dropped off my t-shirt order! Of course I have to drop everything and try them on. I then decided to record a little video so you can see the products.
So consider this the official "store is open" post. :~) The cool thing.. Right now there is a $3 off coupon in honor of election day! So if you were planning on ordering do it today! Just use the code… 3OFFZAZZLETS when you check out!
Here’s a quick video… you HAVE to watch it… the husband actually makes an appearance! LOL You’ll see!

Ok, I’m off to vote! If you haven’t… get your butt to the polls! :~)

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 [...]

I wanna see “the husband”!! Wimp!
just kidding
love the shirts Roni!
awww those are SO cute!! You need a Tree with a “there’s a tree in my belly” in type underneath it ;) haha
Yeah! I want to get “the husband” for my husband too. He is my muse and he says its lonely being the husband of a blogging wife that only wants to cook all day!
He is a big help to me even if he is behind the scenes!
Check out Bizs last blog post..And the winner is. . .
love, love, LOVE the “mommy’s little helper” apron! TOO CUTE! I see Christmas idea all over it!
Congrats on the site Roni!! I might have to get one of “the husband” ones for mine :)
SO CUTE. how do you do it all??
Check out MizFits last blog post..Thank you therapy or how to take a compliment.
i love the broccoli shirt!! it’s so cute!!
Hi Roni,
This is a cute video. Irish made an appearance in the beginning too! Congratulations on having your store up and running, I am very excited for you.
Check out Zoeys last blog post..Garbanzo Beans
Super cute!
Also your hair looks great!
Check out Es last blog post..A Silent Killer
Aw — too bad I can’t get one in time for your Chicago visit! or would that be weird ;)
Just bought my t-shirt can’t wait for it to arrive!!!
I just bought my broccoli t-shirt. What a cute design!
I SO second Kristin about having a ‘there’s a tree in my belly’ t-shirt! And I love the broccoli one, too. Now I just have to get hold of a credit card…
Rhiannon
Love the cute Broccoli t-shirt and I will be ordering mine today!
Roni.. just a quick question ….will you be doing some long sleeve shirts for the colder weather?
Thanks!
Ahhh Tammy! You can pick a long sleeve! On the right hand side of the screen there should be a link…. “Select different style shirt”
Scroll to the right and there are long sleeve options! :~)
How cool is that!
This is fantastic – you are am amazing person and inspiration!
i LOVE them!! aww i want to get one.
i like “the boy” for the toddler’s new “name.” LOL and the husband scene was so funny =P
Aw, you didn’t have the shirt I was hoping for. Not that I was surprised. It’s hard to find one that says, “Nobody Wants a Charlie-in-the-Box”
Check out Charlie Hillss last blog post..Oatmeal
Hey!
Definitely do more shirts with veggies or fruits! I love the brocolli~
Super cute!
;)Amy
Great video. What do you think about possibly adding “the wife” to the mix? That would be cute. Congrats on your store opening.
Check out Angies last blog post..My Workouts for the Week of 10/27-11/2 2008
Angie – I was actually thinking of just a “the women” or “ME” or “the blogger” LOL
Being that I don’t refer to myself often it’s weird for me to think about.
Oh! and guys the trees in belly shirt… GENIUS!
I’m working on 2 other toddler specific shirts as well. :~)
i also adore the tree in my belly idea
love the broccoli
and i just so associate you with butternut squash – maybe a cute butternut squash chasing after some butternut squash fries?
Awwww, thanks “the husband” for participating in the video! That was so sweet of you! I know my husband wouldn’t have done it and if he did he may have done like you did.
Love the shirts Roni!
Ha, I was wondering if you were going to call Ryan “the toddler” forever. He’s “the preschooler” now!
My shirt is already on the way. I picked up a GreenLiteBites shirt :-)
Check out Christys last blog post..Half way into the week already…
Have you thought of broccoli onesies? I don’t have a little one yet, but it would be so cute… other fruits and veggies too ;)
Well…now I want an apron and a broccoli shirt…my husband is going to be mad that you are making me buy more stuff..haha.
Check out Christys last blog post..Half way into the week already…
i love all the shirts roni! along the lines of jennie’s onesie idea: why not other cute veggies on a onesie, like a sweet pea (which is what i call my neices and nephews), or a picture of a pumpkin. very cute. and kutos to the husband for making his debut!
i love the shirts, especially the broccoli because thats my favorite veggie! I think another good veggie would be a butternut squash because you introduced it to me (and probably a lot of people) and now i cant live without butternut squash fries! The head might look like one of thoes werid cartoon characters with a big brain though, who know! Congrats Roni, you are a rockstar!
I love the t-shirts. After you take the time to pick the perfect font and design a logo, why not put it on a shirt. I like Nicole’s idea of “sweet pea.“ I call my baby Small Fry, because he’s a cute little fatty, but still healthy, just baby fat.
Roni that was so cute! Can’t wait to see Ryan in his new duds.
The Husband doesn’t need to make a total appearance. his mysteriousness makes him all the more charming! Kinda like Wilson on the old Home Improvement show!
Tammy
hehe….I have already decided that my mom and brother (both on WW’s and both religiously follow your blog) are going to get aprons for Christmas. They will love them! My husband cracked up at the video. He said he would have done the same thing your husband did if he were on camera.
