This is going to be super quick. I’m falling asleep watching The Mentalist and I refuse to stay up any later as all I want to do is eat. Not because I’m hungry but because I’m tired. I think I’ve been doing that a lot lately.
Anyway, some quick bullet point updates. . .
- This weekend I’m taking the husband to Atlantic City for his birthday. We haven’t gone all year with the move and the new job it was just too much. I’m totally looking forward to a couple a days away. Between holiday shopping, work, blogging and all the other stuff I’m exhausted as I’m sure you are all too. It’s just a crazy time of year.
- Speaking of work, tomorrow I find out the future of the SpeakHealth project I’ve been doing for work. I’ve built the site and have been posting there for about 2 months. It’s been fun blogging at my job and I hope we get to continue with the project. Fingers are crossed.
- I also posted over on We Are the Real Deal about trees. It’s kind of a long story you’ll have to check it out over there.
- This week on GreenLiteBites, I posted a long video where I make a Pearl Onion and Mushroom dinner from start to finish and last night I whipped up a fun salad using spinach and fennel.
- Fitbloggin has also had some major announcements recently. We welcomed POM as a sponsor and announce Dave Grotto as our keynote!
- Let me leave you with my new running mix and my food journal. I’m trying REAL hard to keep an honest journal through the holiday. It’s not about being "good" or "bad." It’s about being HONEST with myself.
Here’s the mix. . .

- Out of the Blue by Julian Casablancas 4:41
- You Never Know by Wilco 4:22

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 [...]

Get some rest and have a good day!
“frankly… i can’t wait until the holidays are over!” Uh my sentiments exactly! Part of me is having fun enjoying all the extra treats…but the other part of me knows I’ll have to make up for my lax attitude soon enough, and I can’t wait until things are back to normal and there isn’t sweets and yummy treats at literally every turn! It’s nuts :-)
Thanks for posting your Vitatop code. I was planning to order but couldn’t find or remember your discount code! I’m off to order now… Thanks!
I agree, being honest with yourself is key – it is so not about being good or bad, it’s about being realistic and managing those expectations. You are doing fantastic!
Honesty is always the best policy :)
Just do what feels good. Which does not mean go crazy. It means remembering what it might feel like AFTER you go crazy! Enjoy what you can, enjoy your family and your friends, and don’t beat yourself up. Life is way too short!
OH and great mix!!
Uprising, by Muse! Clearly we have more in common than food tastes.
That song is very political — did you know? — very anti-environmental. Green = red, says Muse. It suits my libertarian views.
Can I just say I’m LOVIN, LOVIN, LOVIN your iTunes tracks!!! We have a lot of the same tastes in music. Thanks for new ideas, I was really getting sick of the same ole same ole. :)
Used your playlist for the gym this morning! It was really nice to have something new and different to work out too! Thanks for posting it. <3
I live in Jersey and we are having a major snow storm this weekend that is blanketing the state. I hope you were able to make it to AC this weekend. (and won heaps of money!) Drive safely!!!
I’m excited about FitBloggin even though I’m not special enough to be doing anything. Haha.
I hope you are enjoying the snow you got this weekend!
I’m ready for the holidays to be over too.
just wanted to say i love your blog(s), i have been checking in occasionally for at least a couple years but recently became a regular reader. thank you for the ongoing inspiration :)

Mary… “Special enough” Come on now. I’m trying here.
I made it AND won loads of money! :)
Home safe and sounds but had a blast!
Weeee! You have Muse in your mix. I love their songs. Will refresh my memory on that song.
