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 [...]

Great post, Roni! Thank you for sharing your story about choosing goal weight. I can definitely relate to how you felt :)
Hope your back is on the mend!
Yay an Ask Roni! It’s good to see your face! Hehe. :)
Hey Roni,
That first question was mine. Yay, I’m famous :) I gave up on the 133 number. It was too frustrating and it really didn’t make a difference. I am now about 140 depending on the day and I have settled on that is where my body wants to be. I was scale dependent in that I had an (unhealthy) obession with the scale. I would do it every day (sometimes twice a day-I know I was crazy!). I now weigh about 2x a month. Just to see. I don’t let it get to me anymore. Thanks for getting to my question. I still read your blog all the time and get excited when you have new “Ask Roni” videos! Thanks again :)
I love what you had to say about finding your weight goal. My body has really settled around a weight that was higher than the range for WW and after talking with my leader and doctor we determined to set it higher than the range and if I continued to lose that would be okay but I could reach goal.
Awesome video post!!
I totally get when you were describing how sometimes you just have to put as much in your mouth as quickly as possible sometimes..a binge. It’s become a problem for me the last year and I think I can tie it to stress and anxiety.
LOVED your idea about the eating a butternut squash..most of the time it’s not about what I’m eating but just that I want to eat alot..I get it!! Thanks for the healthy idea to channel the energy to at least eat something healthy! It’s so bizarre how our bodies react to stress.
I can’t watch this at work, but can’t wait to see the answers to these questions later tonight :) I’m in suspense!
OMG Roni, I can totally relate to the stress eating question! I am stressed out now and I have been wanting to eat eat eat!! I had a few days where I ate horrible foods without abandon. But afterward I felt so crappy and it totally wasn’t worth it. The funny thing is that I decided that squash would be my alternative also. I am totally making butternut squash!
I needed this Ask Roni today. Thanks so much and welcome back! Its great seeing you handling stress because I am in the same place right now.
BTW – I made WW goal a couple of months back and I have been having a hard time staying at my goal weight. (my body is comfortable right above the goal weight :( )
Roni, I have to say the BEST Ask Roni’s are the ones where you get a little misty eyed. It a sign you’re really uncovering something, and it means so much to you that you’re able to share that. So DON’T feel bad when you start getting a little emotional; it’s such a great reminder that someone else has been through the painful emotions so many of us are dealing with at this very moment.
I love the new ask Roni! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to these :)
You do an amazing job of remembering how you “used to” think before you have completely changed your life. That is not easy to do and lately I am finding it harder and harder to distinguish how I approached things when I started vs. how I do now.
Great job, fantastic video post and I hope you are feeling better soon. I have one of those machines and it’s called a “TENS” machine (if it’s the same as mine). Careful about using them for too long at a time though ;-)
I miss the beer pong poster!
That was a wonderful AskRoni that hit on a few topics I think a lot about! Thanks for taking the time to do it – it made me think all day long (and into today :-)
Roni- one of your best posts ever. thanks so much! Chris
Thanks for this post! I listened to the podcast while running on the treadmill last night. There’s something about talk radio I love…
Loved watching this. You’re so beautiful and honest. :)
Thanks Roni for giving of yourself once again. I love your videos.
Thanks Roni for answering my question about binge eating. I still struggle with it and am seeking professional help to deal with it.
BTW I just rediscovered butternut squash and look forward to making your fries with it.
