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 [...]

Hey Roni – I’ve also been crippled by perfection in the past. Check out the post on Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project Blog
http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/01/your-happiness-project-dont-let-the-perfect-be-the-enemy-of-the-good.html
She has posted on “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”
It’s not directly related to weight loss/maintenance, but I really think the principle applies to us. It’s powerful stuff!
Thanks for the answer Roni, now I know I’m not alone in my “mind/body disconnect” as you put it. Maybe one day it will finally click!
lol. i liked the funny story. :)
I liked the story…too. It is sooo wild for me to look back at my progress pics…and I love seeing the change in yours too. Awesome reminders.
I just e-mailed you a food find and a video about making workout excuses that is a good motivation.
FYI, I love the beer pong poster behind you ;)~
ROFLMAO….just watching you laugh about yourself made me laugh and every time you’d laugh harder, so would I. You are too funny, Roni.
You look so pretty!
I think the berries are pronounced “A-Sigh” but maybe we should just call them berries to be on the safe side!
Wonderful video! You have every right to be disheveled.
Some of the things you were saying on the video, I was just sitting here saying, “Yes, Exactly!” You took the words right out of my mouth. I too struggle with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and I have for as long as I can remember. I’ve lost 25 lbs and I still can’t really tell a difference. I’m waiting for the brain to catch up!
haha…your story was funny. I hate when I do stuff like that. In my line of work they always want us to refer to poeple over the phone as ‘sir or ma’am’ but I am worried I will get it wrong so I avoid it as much as possible.
I have asked a lady that ‘looked’ pregnant when she was due…only to find out she was just a bit heavy in the stomach area and not pregnant at all.
I think it was funny……*smile*. I’ve had the same body/brain problem all along. I think now that I’m Lifetime, and because my legs and butt are really skinny, it’s easy to tell that I’m smaller. But I still have skin or flab or something in the stomach area, and on my back…sides…like above the bra flab, and so I still have some body image problems with that. I’m still wanting to lose some more, but I’m not letting it get to me when it takes a long time. My healthy weight range is 129-155 and I’m 53. I stopped at 155 for my WW goal and I weigh 152 right now. I’m taking it 5 pounds at a time and re-evaluating at each. I seriously doubt that I will go any lower than 140 though. I just feel like, at my age, I don’t want to lose too much, or I may get “gaunt” looking, and I don’t wanna do that.
I worked at a health restaurant that sold an acai smoothie. It is pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”. I’ve seen TV commercials where they say it wrong.
Thanks! I knew I wasn’t right! :)

This is way overdue but I just now watched this. I laughed so hard at your story, mainly because it’s SO something I would do. My foot is very comfortable in my mouth…it’s there a lot.
And I teared up right along with you because I can completely relate to those feelings. You can’t even imagine how many “before” pictures I have that have no after pictures to go with them.
Thanks for being so honest and sharing. :O)
My boyfriend gets so angry with me when I ask him to tell me whose bodies are semi comparable to mine. He just doesn’t understand that it’s hard for a lot of women to really tell what size they are.
I don’t know if you would get this show in the States, but a British show I’ve caught a few times on television called “How to Look Good Naked” focuses on [mostly] female body image. There is even a part of the show where they take the woman who is featured that day, have her in her underwear, and stand her in front of a line of women [also in their underwear] ranging in sizes [from bigger to smaller] and ask the woman to place herself where she thinks she fits in line. The women ALWAYS put themselves at least two steps up from where they should be [so they think that they're bigger than they actually are]. Like I said, I’ve only caught the show a few times, but I loved the idea behind it and the whole “feel comfortable in your own skin — no matter what size” mentality.
Thanks for the great [as usual!] video, Roni! Hope you had fun at Blissdom09!
cleansing the colon is easy.. just eat tons of fiber rich food
Great job on the video, it was pretty funny too! I must agree that some of these products are complete BS. But, some really do have benefits.
I think the berries are pronounced “A-Sigh” but maybe we should just call them berries to be on the safe side!
