I just want to EAT! There I said it. Yesterday I made fun of the toddler for being a bottomless pit but I’m right there with him. I am going to write this post then go to bed… no procrastinating and eating to stay awake. I’ve been getting into some bad night time habits. The only way to change is to admit it, face it, and do something about it. :) OK… moving on. I actually have some other thoughts this week…
- My friend shot me this link to 10 yoga poses for runners. Apparently I’m a runner now. I keep forgetting. :) The toddler and I had fun going through the poses before my last run. Which, by the way, I skipped out today. My body needs a break, I’m so sore from my workout yesterday and previous runs. Plus I want to rest up for my 8 miles this weekend!! Yikes!
- Even though I’m taking a few days off from my training schedule doesn’t mean I can’t still do things to say active. Sahar shared 10 ways to get fit WHILE blogging on ProBlogger this week.
- Diet Blog had a interesting article about The 8 Most Overrated Health Trends. I think the article reinforces my thoughts on the whole "we over think" things. Eat healthy, get moving and don’t worry about the latest trends.
- Since I’m on a list kick I might as well post this one. Plus it kind of goes alone with the previous thought. Live Science has a Top 10 Bad Things That Are Good For You post. Being an "everything in moderation" girl. I found it fun.
- Ok, I feel I need to end the list of lists with something a little more…. ummmm… useful? So my last list link is America’s Top 10 Healthiest Diets. I think they should rename it America’s Top 10 "Healthiest Strategies for Living" but you know what they mean. :)
- This week on GreenLiteBites I experimented with a new muffin-ish idea and I can’t be happier with my Banana Oatmeal Cups with Chocolate Chips! I also made a husband pleasing dinner (hard to believe, I know), Simple Chicken Tips with Gravy. This weeks video was a simple Green Eggs and Ham idea for St. Patty’s!
- On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posted part 2 of my HTML That All Bloggers Should Know. This ones all about some basic HTML structures that can help format your posts. And today I peered into my future as I have no doubt I’ll have this conversation in my near future
- Looking for inspiration? I FINALLY published the Success Story on BlogToLose! Joni Learns to Love Herself No Matter her Size and Mary is No Longer a Victim. These women are amazing please leave a comment for them showing some support. Take it from me, it’s not always easy bearing your soul. :)
Ok, I think I’ve successfully emptied my brain on thoughts. I need sleep. :)

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,
Love the site! I’m in college so I love all of your food finds and grocery lists. Awhile back you mentioned an update to your Trader Joe’s shopping list, any idea on when that will be up?
Thanks!
Haley – Thanks for reminding me! I have it on my to do! I’ll shoot for next week!

Woohoo! I’m right there with you on being a bottomless pit lately… I blame it on the cold weather. I’m in TX, and it’s been about 30-45 degrees here and rainy the past few days… which is dang cold for us.
I’m going to check out those inspirational stories.
Some days I have those times when I want to eat. Other days, not hungry! I think it’s one of the joys of being a woman with hormones ;)
I so totally understand the ‘I just want to EAT’
I have been there for too long lately….telling myself I would get over it in my own time…..but if I’m being honest with myself (which we know is hard) it went on too long.
So, I went to bed last night telling myself I was going to start today and guess what?????? 19 points for the day! Now, I know I didn’t eat all my points, and I know it is important, but I though, what a great start! And I really wasn’t hungry today. If I’m honest (What’s with all this HONESTY…sheesh!) I don’t think my stomach has EVER been hungry…its my mouth!!!
Looking forward to another healthy 24 hours tomorrow….:-)
