I got nothin’. I’m serious. Out of gas. Head is completely empty. All I have is personal updates. Sorry to disappoint.. next week I’ll have double links. Promise!
As for me… Well… let’s start with this morning’s run. The first once since I’ve been sick. I have NO idea where it came from but I ran my fasted mile ever! 8:58 AND I finished 5 miles in about 46:30. The funny thing.. I thought I was running slow? lol it was weird feeling.
Not much on GreenLiteBites this week. Just a soup I made to help me feel better, Sweet Pepper and Hot Sausage Soup, and this weeks video, Homemade Apple Pie Oatmeal (the toddler is in rare form.. this one is a must see.)
On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posted a comic that is surely a glimpse of my future, a post about when to post on your blog and a video about social media and ice cream.
Fun updates.. I FINALLY got a hand me down microwave! YAY! Although I was getting used to not having one, I love having my microwave popcorn back. It was really the only thing I missed. As for house.. I’ve had a few showings but no buyers.. YET! I’m trying to keep my hopes up. :) Anyone looking for a house in Maryland? I know a place, close the highway, easy commute to Baltimore, nice community. ;~P
ok.. I’m signing off. I’ve been dreaming about a VitaTop and a chocolate soy milk snack since starting this post. :~) Which reminds me I would post my food journal but twitter lost a few of my entries today. :( Which sucks because I recommitted to keeping my food journal today and I did a really good job!
Oh well… Good Night!

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 [...]

At least you have had showings! Not a one in two weeks. Won’t anyone ever want to buy our house? We had hoped to be moved by beginning summer, now I’ll be happy if it happens THIS year. Ugh!
ok…I recomitted to staying on track and keeping my journal last Friday
and…..
I did IT!
I’ve been on my points or a few less EVERY day……
I can not tell you the last time that happened!
I lost 5 lbs this week……
so now comes the hard part…the remaining 8 that I gained…(the first week is always a GREAT loss isn’t it??)and of course – getting back to the exercise routine. Baby steps. I forget that when you ‘surrender’ to the program and do what they say, you get empowered….:-) Who knew that surrendering and empowering could be used for the same thing.
Looking forward to another great week!!!
LOL your title made me do a double take (did I just see what I thought I saw lol).
Still, even with no “thoughts” and being sick, you had an eventful, empowered week. Hope you’re feeling better now… you must be, with that run!
laurieann – I just keep telling myself… “all it takes is one buyer… all it takes is one buyer.” The problem with the showings is every time I have one I get my hopes up only to find out what the hated about the house. It’s depressing. :( Good luck and keep me posted!
me – AWESOME!!! The momentum is ow going in your direction.. just keep it up! I love the surrender/empowering… you’re right it is a strange relationship.
Thanks Suzyn! The cold is still lingering but I’m mushing through! :)
ROFL, Roni, the comic strip is EXACTLY what I told my parents when they called last weekend :D My mom complained I’ve been calling home less (it’s a very busy time in college for me now) and I told her, “You can read my blog posts. Please coment.” :)
Roni,
I ordered my first batch of VitaTops… I call them VitaBrownies and they were SO good! Even the husband was impressed! Last night, as I was eating one, I was like “there’s no way these are only OnE point!” I literally got up to recheck my points calculator because they are such a fabulous snack! Thanks.
Ps. I also purchased almond milk from my grocery store but haven’t gotten the guts to try it! ;) I’ll let you know!
I love your running updates. I’m having shoe issues, because I live and hour and a half away from the nearest Wal-Mart, let alone a running store. Mine are okay, but I can tell they just aren’t the right ones, because I can’t run as far or as long without aches that didn’t used to be there. *sigh* It’s frustrating.
Sorry that things aren’t going as quickly as you want on the home selling front. Ours was on the market for 7 months but we just finally sold it and will be closing next week. I’m not superstitious (or Catholic) but someone told us to get a statue of St. Joseph and bury it in our yard. It sounds completely crazy but I was desperate and tried it. I buried it in my flower box about 5 minutes before a showing and got an offer that same night. It was the best $10 that I ever spent!
