What did you expect when you decided on a pizza joint for dinner?

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 know exactly what you mean!
Didn’t eat my afternoon snack so I was starving on my way home.
Had a horrible day at work. WAY TOO BUSY!!! (hence the no afternoon snack)
Called hubby on the way home and he met me at Chili’s where I ate WAY to many chips and salsa before my meal came. Ate a sensible meal, though.
Ugh!!
Came home and cooked a lean pot of chili for tomorrow night’s dinner. DON’T want to eat out again!
sounds like my day but w/o the pizza…still managed to not eat well though.
Bloating is the worst. I feel your pain!
tomorrow’s a new day to stay on target, live and learn :-) Hope it was yummy though ;-)
My day went good….it was my NIGHT again. Midnight…happens every time! I am trying hard to break the cycle…but nothing seems to be working! UGGGGG! Today is a new day…or I guess I should say Tonight is a new night! We will try again!
Hope your day is good! :)
Roni, the reason I love to read your notes to self is that they are all what we are thinking to ourselves on any given day. You just make sure we all know we are not alone. Thank you.
I just thought that I would point out that in your tag cloud “Running” has 35 topics and “food” has 28 topics.
That is how your blog has progressed. I hope that I can be half as successful as you are.
Roni! The same thing happened to me yesterday (without the toddler, though – lol). I was beat and stressed and tired and planned to make a low calorie version of this Archer Farms brand goat cheese, spinach, tomato pizza… and what did we do? We got pizza out. And the WHOLE time I was thinking – I should have just got my butt in the kitchen because I KNOW my version of pizza would be better for me and taste better too! Ugh!
Dinner is definitely the hardest part of my day.. so easy to fall off the wagon. Just gotta hop back on today, though :)
Great post, a reminder that we are indeed human, just make today a better day! Keep on keeping on…
We’ve all been there. like um, today…. McD’s for lunch with the kiddos. But I got a little brgr and sm. fries. so better right? ;)

Mandi, I was going to make a suggestion about your midnight munchies
Start your calorie day at midnight. So if you are consuming lets say 1,600 calories a day, or 24 points for example, once you start eating at midnight then deduct the day from there.
It could do two things. If you know you are starting to use your calories then, you may use them wisely, because they have to last 24 hours.
OR, you eat what you want, and then adjust throughout the day. Then you will never be over at midnight, because you have just begun!
I feel your pain. My 10 month old has decided she doesn’t want to nap anymore, my husband came home from work only to shut himslf in the office and make phone calls all night, and I wanted to eat the legs off the table. I didn’t, but even though I was good, I was mad at myself for even thinking about being bad. )o:
I went to the gym twice today and worked out all my aggression. I feel better today.
S
I did that last weekend. We ate a sensible dinner and then went to play poker with friends. I even took a very lovely veggie tray with reduced fat dip. But my friend busted out the ruffles and french onion dip. Plus the vodka. I had a 10 calorie mixer but vodka is not 10 calories. I had 4 drinks over the course of 5 hours and ate the chips all night long and I wasn’t even hungry. The next morning, I got up and made french toast and turkey bacon (I had 1 piece of the french toast and 3 strips of turk bacon). After a trip to the gym (where I very lazily rode a recumbant bike and read a magazine) I made lasagna and ate it and everything that wasn’t nailed down all day. The rest of the week has not been much better. I started training for a Sprint Triathlon on Monday. I am loving it but need to get my eating under control. My exercise is finally starting to look good in terms of what I am doing but my eating is crazytown. I don’t think I like to live out of balance but apparently I do… unless the balance is eating horribly and being a couch potato….
Breathe hon, you have every right to pick a pizza joint…as long as it’s not everynight or everyother night. Relax and enjoy yourself, sounds like you need some comfort food for destressing for the day.
Just stay smart and don’t overdo it! Hugs!
You slapping yourself on the forehead brought “should have had a V8″ to my brain ;).
I feel your pain! Pizza rules…I can veg it up, go without cheese…but my downfall is the crust :(
Totally! What gets me is when I have had a stressful day.
Been there, done that. Oh boy, have I ever.
But, screw it. Enjoy the pizza. The bloat will go away. Give yourself permission to indulge and move on tomorrow.
I had this same kind of day Wednesday. Spent all day working on a dinner for church. Didn’t eat much and when it was all over all I wanted to do was hit up Sonic. Now that I think about it “Yuck!”
