Sometimes even I just don’t feel like talking. I know… hard to believe. :) So I’m doing many links and few words this week…
- The Seduction of a Binge. I can so relate right now.
- New Means For Fighting Hunger Cravings? Maybe this will help?
- Weight Loss WooHoo! – Sometimes I need to remember how far I’ve come and what my motivation is.
- Maybe a good laugh will help and MarJo had tears coming out of my eyes on with this comment.
- No new contests this week but I do have the Sensible Portions winners…
- Patty Jennings,
- Annie Timbello
- Joanne Bruno
- Brittany Dobbins
- Ami Self
- Need your contest fix check out the Smooth Fitness Sweepstakes and Divine Caroline’s What’s favorite product find?
- GreenLiteBites news… Check out Tropical Pineapple Core Smoothie, Pinto Bean Soup, Simply Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Spinach and Angel Hair, Moroccan Inspired Beef Stew with Orange and Couscous and this weeks video where the toddler and I do some pancake taste testing. (ok… can you tell I was a bit obsessed with food this week?)
- On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posed a question about links opening up in a new window (notice I still don’t open them in a new one – if you like them to, right-click and decide for yourself) and I posted about Gravatars (little profile pics in blog comments.)
ok, I’m out. Night. :)
P.S. I can hardle belive it myself. This may be the shortest Thursday Thoughts ever!

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 [...]

Hi Roni,
I really liked the ‘Seduction of a Binge’ – I can definitely relate as well! Thanks for sharing.
~ Gina
OMG..the “Seduction of a Binge” is me…she wrote it about me! How did she know?!? Amazing…especially as I wake up, another morning after an out of control night….
It is a vicious cycle and after years of dieting and exercising and coming to a point where I think I have it under control….to realize that I do not, in fact, have it under control..not even close….and the night-time binging is actually worse than it has ever been. It is depressing and sad to me…that after all this time…I am still fighting these demons. How and when does it ever stop? How and when do I ever get it under control? It seems like it should be such a small thing to me…yet, it really controls many of my thoughts and actions every day of my life.
Well…time to kick myself in the butt once again…and say today is a new day…and try, once again, to put those demons to rest…and try, once again, not to be secretly out of control.
Thanks, once again, Roni….for posting someting so relevant to my life.
thanks for the great links, Roni!
Chromium is really good at helping to eat healthy, esp when taken with LGluteamine. It works for me (when I remember to take them). It’s not new news though, body builders have been taking it for ages, my old personal trainer told me over a year ago.
Another way of stopping a binge is to eat LOADS of food. Works for me everytime. Afterwards I have no desire to binge ;)
I can’t believe I won the sensible portions! That’s so awesome, and I know my mom (who never comments here) will love to sample them too! Thanks Roni! What a fun way to start the morning, finding out I won a yummy prize!
Wow, thanks for the link to the Scale Junkie’s post on the seduction of a binge. Even when I think I’ve become immune to it, it comes back sometimes and lures me in. The process of healing is a long one, but I’m getting closer each day.
You totally made me morning! This is the first blog contest that I’ve ever won. I am SOOO excited to get my prize…my roommate and I will be muching away at them and thinking of you :).
I have those days I just want silence too :) Hope it got better for you!
Thank you for linking to my post Roni, Its nice to know I’m not alone feeling this way but I honestly wish no one could relate to that post, I’d never wish it on anyone.
What do I do to claim the sensible portions prize? I thought maybe it would just be mailed to me, but it hasn’t come. I’ve got a snack craving!
