I thought I’d have a little fun and pluck the top recipes from GreenLiteBites for 09. At first I didn’t think I could find 20 then I started poking through the archives. I can’t believe how much I cooked this year! And to think I was getting down on myself for all of the eating out with the move and craziness this year.
Anyway, I ended up settling on 24. Did I post your favorite?

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

You posted chocolate ricotta rolls twice! Were they that good!? haha
Jess’ Food Coma, I was just going to say the same thing! Roni must have really liked those chocolate ricotta rolls! ;)
LOL thought I was off one! Now I have to figure out which one I’m missing!
I LOVE this photographic retrospective. I am looking at the items and thinking I might try a few sooner rather than later. Thanks for sharing in this way.
You posted 2 of my favs! The Turkey Stromboli and the bulgar stuffed pork! Sooo yummy! Thank you for all of the great recipes and inspiration in 2009! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Two of my old stand-by’s didn’t make your list — pork and pepper stir fry — turkey/chicken soup with ww cous cous. I seriously make some combo of those meals at least once a month.
Although, they’re all pretty tasty!
I tried baking your banana oatmeal cupcakes. They are so delicious!!! I’m going to try more of your recipes soon.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Roni!!
Im so glad we connected and met and laughed together these past 365 days.
You are such an inspiration to many and I AM NO EXCEPTION.
Carla
Annalisa – Darn! I was going to post the pork and pepper stir fry! I forgot! lol
Aw man! Now I’m hungry! LOL (Nothing new there!) You make healthy SO tasty! Looking forward to another year of fine dining with you Roni. Happy New Year and Bon Apettite!
BTW…unless you fixed it…I only see the Ricotta Rolls once and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sticks once.
I did fix it. :)
I totally agree wit you on the Honey Mustard Turkey Oat Burgers! Love those! I’ve made them at least 6-7 times.
Oh, I was totally going to say the broccoli salad, and then I went back and that was from 2008 – time flies! I can’t believe I haven’t tried more of these yet, but the Chocolate Ricotta rolls are on the menu for a little gathering tomorrow night.
The Oat Cups are ALWAYS kept in my freezer for a quick pop in the microwave and the Porkchops and Mushroom Gravy is a husband favorite. Now I’m seeing other recipes that I somehow missed the first time around and need to give a try. Thanks so much Roni for all your inspiration! Happy & Healthy New Year to you and your family!!!
Your whole wheat pancakes are a staple in my house! Love your list, there’s a few I haven’t tried yet. I plan on trying them soon.
thanks for posting, roni! i read GLB all the time (i thought) but i missed a bunch of these and they look delicious. happy new year – here’s to a great 2010!
Roni – I am de-lurking to say how much I love your blogs. You motivate me everyday! Also, I’ve made your banana oatmeal cups twice now, and I wanted to share a secret – over-ripe bananas are KEY. The first time I made these the bananas were barely ripe, but this time I made myself hold off until they were very ripe. What a difference! Others may already know this, but I’m not a good cook so I thought I’d share! Thanks for all the tips and recipes – you rock!
My always standby breakfast is the applepie oatmeal. and I loved the corn bread topped chili!!
