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 [...]

Ahh…..garbage in, garbage out! Totally hit home. I’m really trying to eat less processed stuff. I’ve got a few long running races on my calendar and I know this will make me feel better, run better, yada yada….Knowing and doing are two totally different things!!
And the working at home and every day is a weekend! What a great way to put it. I’ve had the hardest time losing the “baby weight” since I’ve been working at home. (I previously lost 25-30lbs on WW’s before I got married and had a baby.) And I honestly think working at home is harder on the eating front that working in an office with a pre-packed bag of snacks and food.
I especially liked your answer to the first question – it’s definitely something I needed to hear right now. I really struggle a lot with that all-or-nothing mentality. One of the things I notice about you is that you have confidence (not only a positive body image and things like that) but also in yourself and your ability to “regain control” (for lack of a better term). It seems like the question for you is not “Will I actually ever get back on track?” but “I know I will soon be back on track. How soon will I do that?” I don’t know if that make sense. But for me, being very early in the weight loss process (early in terms of making lasting changes), in the back of my mind I have a lot of questions about whether or not I really can do this. I’m not sure what my point is – I guess that I need to work on that, and thanks for helping me see that. I’m trying, but it’s not something you can directly work on. It’s more a byproduct of other things.
By the way, I love the question about the poster – I had always wondered about it. I love her guesses!
Oh, and my favorite recipe of yours is definitely the Southwest Turkey Burgers – I make them all the time. I make a whole bunch at once, and then freeze them. In the mornings I cook them on my George Foreman and take them to work for lunch.
roni don’t know if you get TLC but a new series of cook yourself thin comes on at 5:00 here . just really loved the show and liked that they used real foods that people have to lower the caloies. you can get the recipes at mylifetime.com. need to check it out

I haven’t had time to catch it yet!
I really liked your section on “Too Tired to Workout”. Scheduling time to workout is the hardest part of working out. As long as I can find the time, I love the workout itself. My problem is that I want to do too much. I want to run 5 days a week. I want to do weights 3 days a week. I want to do yoga at least once a week. And then there is a step class and a zumba class at my gym at work at lunchtime that I just LOVE. As long as I can find time to do everthing I want (specifically the runs and the weights), my week goes very well. But if I miss one piece, I end up disappointed and more likely to skip another workout! Ironic, huh. But its along the same lines as once you have something “bad” giving up on the plan for the rest of the day/week. Oh well. Its good to know that I’m not the only one!
I so needed all of these topics today!
Thanks Roni for another great video post! BTW, Congrat’s on the new job. It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
– Life happened!—
Check out my blog!! :-)
Hey Roni,
Thanks so much for answering the question. I agree with the fact that it is necessary to get the Exercise done first thing in the morning. I mean for a person like me it is very easy to keep my exercise last among my priorities. And then when I am exhausted at the end of the day, I have nothing but to just say NO to exercise. I think getting it done first thing in the morning will really help not bailing out of it!
My name is problem for everyone to pronounce, it is pronounced like Bianca.
You so have hit the nail on the head with these topics. About the do you still have eating issues. I so relate. I know that I will always have eating “issues” but the question is – Am I controlling it or is it controlling me. My stuff the pie hole days are definetely cyclic and come at the same time every month and I know this but it is still a struggle. I just try to stuff it with low pt/cal options. About the poster,funny I thought it was something to do with pool. We played quarters with beer not beer pong. Favorite recipe – I really need to try those turkey burgers my family is straight meat only so I guess that is what is holding me back. My staple Roni recipe is banana pancakes. About weekend,I too have always saved my pts for the weekend. This seems to work out well since we are pretty routine all week. Lastly about the exercise. When I first started to exercise I had a “walking buddy” we walked together whenever we could get together or did exercise videos together. Then summer hit and I knew I needed to go when it was cooler so I started going by myself in the early morning and I have not gone back since. I run now and love it. I have expanded to other things as well. I love that I can check it off my list. I am like you I look at everyone else getting up and I have had a four mile run done,a load of laundry,and had a shower all before 7 am. I am dead by 10 pm however.
Great topics.
I loved your answer to the first question. I think the all-or-nothing/black and white thinking is a large part of eating issues. We are always trying to do everything so perfectly and that is so unrealistic, we’re just people, not robots! It’s much more forgiving to take each situation as it comes and try to make the best choice possible in the moment. If we overeat, forgive ourselves and move on to the next opportunity.
I can totally relate to the overwhelming urge to eat! When I feel that way, I try to remember that I have five senses to tell me about the physical world and I have emotions to tell me about the world inside of me. If I can be curious about why I want to eat when I am not hungry, I might find some long term solutions or tactics to handle my eating issue. I usually find that I am having anxiety about something and I am eating to avoid it. It’s a VERY difficult habit to break.
Roni,,I know you did your Podcast before Tueday but last night on the Biggest Loser, which I feel is a reality show that is very good (a little too much drama sometimes) Jillian talked about the exact same thing meaning finding BALANCE..I think she said you can’t eat melba toast the rest of your life, you have to live and find balance..Your great..enjoy your sincerity..Suzan
