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 [...]

I am so jealous that you were able to attend that. It looks like so much fun. I love the t-shirts. Also, if I met Ree Drummond I might pee my pants. Further, Esther and I went to high school together..the good ole’ days in Corvallis, Oregon. She’s a gem. Glad that you’re enjoying it.
Now that I have a blog, I hope I can go next year! The pictures are really fun to look at!
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like lots of (exhausting) fun! :)
So fun!! I would love to go next time, but I’m looking forward to FitBloggin just as much!!
I had so much fun last night!!! I’m so glad we got to meet and hang out :)
wow, that looks like a GREAT time! Wish I could have been there!
It was really great to meet you! The dinner was a lot of fun.
(I’m also laughing at your sidebar with “current weight” and “goal weight.” Story of my life. But as long as I’m staying close to goal most of the time, I feel like I’m doing okay. You look great! I admire your commitment to fitness. I’m starting to get back in shape after two years of stress and not enough exercise.
Haha, I look…surprised :)
Great to meet you, Roni! It looks like you had a fantastic weekend, too. I love the fitness blogger shirts that you and Carla are wearing!
WOW! Looks like you had a great time. I just can’t get over that Ragu Sauce made of veggies :)
That is crazy.
I really hope that you share more of what you learned from the conference. As a new blogger I would love to hear more :)
What a great time – good luck with your run! :D
It was so fun to chat with you this weekend! Congrats on the big run this morning! I will be running the 5K next year. I’m making that commitment to you today!
It was great meeting you this weekend, Roni! How funny that we ran into each other right away on the shuttle bus (with the driver with the never-ending spiel). Nice blog!
I really enjoyed meeting you at dinner, Roni! You’ve got quite the blogging empire going here – very impressive! :-)
Oh man that all looks like such good fun. And well done on your mighty run :)
I enjoyed meeting you and our food blogger dinner at Greek Islands was fantastic! I am missing everyone already.
You are such a cutie and are so much fun! Had a great time meeting you!
Woah, where was the giant veggie Ragu can? I totally missed that! How could I miss a huge vegetable sculpture?
I was glad I was part of this
I had a blast hanging with you.. and am excited it won’t be too long before we get to see each other again. Yay! :)
HI Roni, so good to meet you! What a blast the Greek Islands was. Love your photos, especially of the giant ragu. :-)
Wouldn’t it be fun getting the food bloggers and fitness bloggers together and see what happens? Glad to meet you at the dinner!
great roundup! Sorry I missed the chance to chat with you more at the food bloggers dinner, we could have had fun. In addition to cooking, I am pretty sporty, especially with outdoor activities. We could have had a blast comparing stories!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these pics- especially since I didn’t take one dang picture the whole time :-( Will you email me the originals of us in the CheezburgHer party hats and the one of all the FitBlogggers? I will of course give you photo credit! ;-) AJ
