I had a few links saved up from this week. I’m sure there is something I’m forgetting. Either way here are this weeks thoughts…
- Remember "the list" episode of Friends? (I’m showing my age here. lol) The one where Ross and Rachel make a list of famous people they could sleep with. Well it’s a funny thing the husband and I bring up from time to time as a joke. For example, while watching the previews for Wolverine (which we are going to see tomorrow night! YAY!) I’ll say something like "He’s TOTALLY on my list." It’s our way of saying we find a celebrity hot. Well Scarlett Johansson has been on the husband’s imaginary list since the first time he saw her. I always liked her becuase she seems more of a "real" girl them most stars (whatever that means). Well now I have a real reason to like her. Just read her response to recent press about her weight loss for a movie.
I say Go Scarlett! :) - Why do some people never seem to get fat? How many times have you asked yourself that question? I think this is a great article and I have no doubt "that each person has a set point" but my fear are some will read this and then throw their hands in the air giving up on living healthy. There is no doubt we all come in difference shapes and sizes BUT that doesn’t mean we cant strive to be the healthiest we can. Fat or skinny, eating too much processed crap and not moving is not good for you, it’s as simple as that.
- Stuck in a Rut? Nine Simple Ways to End Boredom and Feel Reenergized – I love this post. For some strange reason even though my to do list is taller then the toddler, I still get into "funks."
- Now, I KNOW I’m not the only snacker out there. Sometimes I stare at my pantry or fridge just wanting "something" even though I’m not really hungry. In these snack attack times I eat, but I TRY to limit the calories/points so I don’t feel guilt about it. For those that need help finding low cal options here’s a great list of foods that are under 100 calories.
- Speaking of food, GreenLiteBites saw three posts this week so far, Simple Homemade Home Fries, my first shot at homemade almond milk AND… dun dun dun my remake of an awesome pasta dish, Whole Wheat Pasta Pie. I haven’t posted a video of the week… YET. But I still have 2 days left. :) The toddler and I will be making a quick side dish tomorrow for dinner just for Bonnie. :) I was going to do it tonight but we got a call for a showing, so as soon as I wrap this post up I’ll be cleaning and we are going to head out for dinner.
- I don’t know how I forgot this last week but I, along with some amazing bloggers, were featured in an article called Blogging the Weight Away.
Other news…
- Never got to the product reviews this week, so the are still in the works.
- The design of the cookbook is moving forward. I’m waiting on the designer to hit with me with a prototype.
- I’m also working on a web page to gauge interest in a conference for fitness bloggers, I’m hoping to the have a link by early next week.
- No takers on the house yet. We are having showings so that’s good BUT I’m starting to get real nervous as they are breaking ground on the new house May 20.
- And finally… the JOB. Yesterday they called and said "then there were 2." It’s me and another candidate. I can’t stress how much I wasn’t looking for a job but now how utterly fascinated I am about the prospect. I really think this is a perfect fit for me on every level, skill set, personality, etc. All I can is… we’ll see. I’m not getting to0 excited as the job hasn’t been offered to me yet. Until then, it’s all just speculation. ;)
I’m NOT KIDDING, while writing this the phone rang and I was just offered the most amazing position!!! I totally have butterflies. I’m so excited. Wow… I got to go. lots to talk to the husband about. PLUS I must clean and get my hopes up yet again for a showing that will probably results in nothing but a spotless house. Unless… I get a job offer AND sell my house on the same day. One can dare to dream can’t they. ;~)
What a great day! Sorry, had to say it again. :) BYE!
PS Ignore types… I didn’t proof… just wanted to post it!!

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 [...]

what a FANTASTIC DAY FOR YOU!!!
so so exciting.
congrats.
Yay! I know you weren’t looking for a job, but it must be nice to have that little extra security with the economy in the crapper.
Wow! I am so excited for you today! I hope it gets even better and you do sell the house today!!
Oh, and I love what Scarlett says about losing 14 lbs. I’m so tired of all the stars who say, “I just stopped eating junk and lost 20 lbs.” Or the ones who say they lost 15 lbs just by doing yoga. Losing weight is hard, no matter if you are 150 pounds or 450 pounds and it’s nice to see someone in Hollywood acknowledge that.
Wow, Roni! That is amazing. You are so awesome, I can’t believe how many things you are juggling with grace. Thanks for the links on ruts and low calorie snacks, they are right up my hormonal alley! LOL~ Hope your dreams come true, selling your house and a job offer can happen :)
RONI! That is AWESOME news. And I hope you don’t mind; I just linked from your blog to the ScarJo article — loved it.
Congrats Roni!!
Congratulations on the job!!! You guys will make the right decision, don’t worry!
OMW! I feel like a celebrity….being called out on Roni’s website! So…I won’t give it away, Roni…I’ll just simply patiently wait for the recipe. :)
Congrats on the job offer!! It WOULD be totally cool if you accepted the job and sold the house, all on the same day!
Go Roni!! You know… some days the planets just ‘line up’! Hey – go out and buy a lottery ticket – you never know! We’re all so happy for you.
What wonderful news! Grats Roni.
WOW! CONGRATS!!!!
Congratulations Roni!!! That’s fantastic news! You surely are superwoman :)
Congrats congrats congrats!
Best of luck!!
Congrats Roni, glad that you had such a great day!
CONGRATS RONI!!!!! Awesome news :)
That is awesome! Congrats on the new job!
Congratulations on the job offer….
Next to come will be a house offer! (Fingers crossed)
Congrats on the job offer!! If it’s something you want, you definitely deserve it!
Okay….I have to say..FATE. Remember back when you went the the whole food network thing and we ALL though you deservingly should get called back?????? But didn’t ………AND….we were all disappointed right along with you because we think your the best. This job was the reason you didn’t get that…..just sitting there waiting for you when the time was right. I love how things fall into place like that! Congrats.
Congrats! Way to go!
WOW! Awesome!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That’s so exciting!!
Yippee! I love that feeling. You’d be such an amazing asset to any project, good luck :)
Congratulations! I have been following your site for almost a year and a half now and I absolutely love it! I also love getting the emails in my inbox every few days and feeling like i’ve learned so much after just a few minutes! I LOVED that Scarlett Johansan article! My fiance and I just started a blog and i’d love some suggestions and input. In addition, I’ve requested some healthy, easy weeknight recipe ideas from readers. Hop on over and enter my contest while you’re at it! :)
Oh yes, do you read Kath Eats Real Food? A bunch of bloggers are planning a NYC conference this summer!
Congrats Roni!
Congrats can’t wait to hear more details on the job! As for Scarlett Johannson (sp?) her husband Ryan Reynolds, who by the way is in Wolverine….is on my list ;) ;)
Great news, Roni! Agreed with Mary–you should buy a lottery ticket! ;)
