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’m with you, Roni! I resolve to get back on track with my eating as well as regular exercise. Daily Treadmill, no “white stuff!”
Ab work!
Drink even more water!
Every day is definitely a new day.
I need to include more veggies in my daily consumption of good food. Stick to my points and get plenty of water are also on the list. I divorced my gym/trainer, so now I have to do it on my own as far as fitness. I think I’ll start hanging with Bob and Jillian again – something with them every day.
I can do it! I will do it!
I’ve already resolved to maintain. So today, I resolve to keep my previous resolution. So far, so good. Happy New Month’s Eve, everybody.
This was a very cute and inspiring post! As always, great job Roni!
Mine is to get below my redline weight which is 3 1bs after the halloween candy and Thanksgiving. Do more impact at my spinning class. Go to bed earlier would be good too as I know if you sleep more you burn off more.
Try to take a walk more now its cooler outside (I’m in south Florida).
Get the cook books out and make it intresting. Finally never lose the fight..this is FOREVER.
Lost 50 1bs and kept it off 17 mths thanks to WW and Roni.
I’m like you – I resolve to curb nighttime eating, or at least choose healthier snacks like fruit!
I never used to be that bad at it, but these days yummy Dubliner cheese and All Bran crackers have been calling my name. I tell them to be quiet but they don’t listen to me. =)
Good luck everyone!
What a great idea!
I’m not one that has a ton of parties and celebrations going on in the month of December (thank god!). The only thing I have is Christmas and work Christmas luncheon. Whew! But that’s enough. :) I resolve to stick to my water drinking habits (30 days now of no soda–diet or regular!) and my exercise with the trainer. Need to up the at home exercise and get in 4 days a week. I can do this!
LOVE this idea~I have been thinking about this for awhile. my goal is to get that FOURTH 10 pound ribbon at WW by the end of 2008!! I know i can do it! it is very exciting to be counting down to a new year and a new me!
What a cute post! It’s a great reminder that we do have a choice every day. My resolutions for December will be to:
1. Go to bed earlier so I can get up and walk or go to the gym before work.
2. Intentional exercise at least 5 times per week.
3. Journal daily.
4. Don’t skip any of my WW meetings.
Thanks again for the great reminder, Roni!
I loooove this post!! My resolutions are to begin exercising, quit caffiene, and continually improve my nutrition!
I resolve to get back to my healthy eating basics after over-indulging a bit too much this past weekend (was suffering from post-Thanksgiving trickle-down effect, I think).
I love this! My goal is to eat 3 normal meals a day and stop snacking at night. Which is what I’ve been trying to do forever, but maybe this time!!
I am already practicing today for tomorrow’s new month’s eve! I resolve to track my food and exercise at least 2 times per week. Going shopping today for good food so I can have a good fresh start.
On a semi non-weight related note, I also resolve to try to be in a better mood about work. I know that it is stressful right now but it will get better – or my husband will get a job in another state that he is eyeing and I will get to move! I think when you are unhappy in one area of life, it starts to transfer to other areas. How can I be motivated about losing weight when work is dragging my whole attitude down?
Oh, this is what I was thinking of doing, too. LOVE this!!!!
I’m excited too!
Goals:
1. Go to my Tuesday WW meetings
2. Hit the gym 3x/wk (30-45mins)
3. Make healthy night snacking options… Journal everything!
4. Enjoy the New Year celebration already on the right track!
Thank you Roni, WW & Everyone for the motivation!
I will:
Play dinners for the evenings that I spend shopping so I don’t just go out to eat. I will drink more water. I will incoporate Shred from once a week to twice a week into my workout routine. I also need to get to bed earlier!
oooo GREAT idea with a resolution each month! I wanna stay OP and NOT allow myself a more “free’ish” day only to work it off all wk.
and yay! I’ll be on BTL chat tonight then! the last one was great!
-AP
I am making these goals for December:
1) start journaling again
2) make it to the gym 4 times per week for at least 1 hour
3) stop putting myself down & comparing myself to others
4) love me as much as I love my family
JUST THINK>>>>> WE WILL ALL BE ONE MONTH AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHER RESOLUTION-MAKERS JANUARY 1st!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!
WATER
JOURNALING
PORTION CONTROL
WORK OUT
NO STRESS FOR THE HOLIDAY
HAVE FUN
REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
OKAY>>>READY FOR ANYTHING!
mine is to go to bed earlier too!!
btw your tree is beeeeeeeautiful!!
My goal is “early to bed early to rise” and to exercise first thing in the morning. : )
My goals are: to add 3 days of exercise each week and to add more calcium and omega 3s to my diet.
Love this post!
Oops, forgot to add my resolutions.
1. Get off the computer earlier at night so I can get more sleep. Unfortunately, I am a night owl but I need to break that habit.
2. Earn AT LEAST 1 AP a day – I know – how lame to aim for just one but for medical reasons it’s hard for me to do. So, if I can earn just 1 per day to start, that would be a big plus for me, then work up to 2, 3, etc…
3. Continue to maintain my 63 lb. weight loss.
4. Journal EVERYTHING I put in my mouth!
Count me in too! My resolutions are:
1 – journal every bite
2 – control evening snacks
My resolution for December is to get back to tracking food after over-indulging on Thanksgiving and the several days following. I just have the one resolution, can’t handle anymore right now!!
I’m going to take a page from Roni’s playbook and resolve to do SOMETHING active every day. (Today it was the Walk Away the Pounds 4-mile challenge …)
And I want to recommit to journaling EVERY BITE, every day. (I do OK for a couple of days, then eat something I “shouldn’t” and then the tracking goes out the window for the rest of the day.)
Great reminder! For me, it is clean and healthy eating. And trying new exercises!
I resolve to measure my portions, track my food and take classes at the gym 6 days/week. I’ll weigh myself every Thursday morning.
Hi Roni! I know that this doesnt have anything to do with this post but i figured it might be easier for you to get back to me here.. I was just making up a christmas list to give to my boyfriend and i wanted to put the standard mmmm broccoli apron on it in white from Zazzle.com and it seems to be out of stock.. I was wondering if you knew when it would be back in stock.. Thanks =]
Gosh I posted yesterday about how I was planning to make December my strongest month yet and I can’t believe how many people are feeling the same way. This must be the 4th or 5th post that I read where the author is ready to give December their all!
I love that. I really think it is awesome that we can all be somehow tuned into eachothers same emotions! Certainly helps alleviate any feelings of loneliness!
For December I want to stay motivated. I don’t have any number or task goals, my one goal is to stay motivated right through the month.
December we’re coming at ya! Thanks for the great post!
I’m in!
Track everyday!
Get back to the gym. I have been sick for 3 weeks and really need to get back.
DO NOT CAVE – attending all the seasonal parties is not an excuse to eat.
We can do this!
Thanks Roni
