Some real quick updates tonight as I have a date with the hubby. We start that puzzle and are going to play a little Wii. We’re trying to DO more things in the New year. :)
First, some how, and I really don’t know how, I got booked on two different Blog Radio shows tomorrow (1/5).
Radio show #1
At 10AM EST I’ll be on "GET REAL" talking about Fad Diets and Why they Don’t Work with by Brett Blumenthal
Click here to check it out.
Radio Show #2
At 3PM EST I’ll be chatting with Laura Lavigne Her show is called "Chez Laura" – Let’s talk about losing weight AND becoming a blogging phenomenon!"
Laura saw my story on CNN and asked to interview me on her show. It sounded so fun how can I refuse? :) Click here to check it out.
I like to talk almost as much as I like to blog so this is going to be super fun for me. :)
Other then the shows, I just wanted to tell you how much better I’m feeling. Getting things out of my head and onto the blog is my form of therapy. It ALWAYS makes me feel better. I think it’s a combination of getting it off my chest and then reading the comments and realizing I’m not alone. That’s why I started BlogToLose. Blogging is/was a big piece of the puzzle for me.
Here’s the menu today. . . I’m so glad I cooked over the holidays. I have SO many leftovers for lunch. It’s FABULOUS! :)

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 love the idea of doing a puzzle together. My husband & I are also trying to do more together this year, and have a hike planned for Wednesday!
I’m so glad your feeling better! Your such an inspiration to me and I look forward to reading your site everyday! We have survived the holidays. Back to all our healthy cooking. By the way, peanut butter vitamuffins are AWESOME! Banana flavor is good too, but try the peanut butter if you haven’t yet. Hope you had fun with the hubby!
date night is a great idea; that’s something we need to do more often at my house. currently i’m still hanging on through the holidays, we have one more this coming weekend! i’m afraid the one this past weekend was part of several days of not-so-great food decisions but that’s ok, i’m back on the horse :) thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hunni and are trying to play the Wii together more now. We have games we both like so this should be fun.
I’m going to try and check out those two programs. I would love to hear what you have to say.
Hey Roni, I’ve been woeful on the blog commenting front for the last few months but I hope to get back into it again in 2010!
So glad you are feeling better… you are a source of inspiration as always! Especially when you share with us about your funks. It makes me feel normal! :) As in I get them too not that you are weird and that makes me feel normal!!! (oh God I just need to stop typing right?!?!) :|
Your Salmon Parm looks good. I will have to try that on Friday possibly. The boyfriend it out of town. He does not like salmon or spaghetti squash!
P. S. I love puzzles. Yours looks really cool!
Can’t wait to listen! I noticed you ate some soy crisps. I was at Trader Joe’s a couple days ago and couldn’t find the soy crisps. I asked a cashier, and he said they discontinued them due to low sales. Boo! Where do you find yours?
NOOOOO I hope that doesn’t mean more will close up shop. There’s a local store by me called Giant that makes their own called “Earths Promise” I believe. That was the brand I ate last night. But I know Glenny’s also has some.
Oh a puzzle!!! I haven’t done a puzzle in forever! I bet if I got one, my husband would do it with me too! You have inspired me Roni! You inspired me to do a puzzle! ;)
I’ll try and tune in this afternoon if I can. How exciting!
congrats on the radio shows! can’t wait to check them out!
I love puzzles too! I have a second Elvis puzzle that I’ve been waiting to finish. Thanks for the reminder! :)
Great job on the radio today! I really liked what you said about making small, gradual changes and not letting one bad food choice destroy your day. I’m all for dedicated commitment to a “plan”, but not budgeting for wiggle room only ends in disaster. I like to plan my menus like I do our household budget: all of the “money” (food) is spent on paper before it’s used… I even budget for splurges. That way I can have the cookie without it ruining my day.
Good luck with the puzzle!
Congrats on the shows!!!
I also find that cooking makes me feel better. Or no, wait. I think it’s baking that makes me feel better. Even when I don’t eat the treats. Well, especially when I can say “no” to the treats.
You just rock… has anyone told you that lately? Fo’ real, my fav on the blog roll !!
Oh, no! I hope my favorite soy crisps don’t disappear …
I need to concentrate on not letting one bad food choice destroy the day. Even after all these years, i still struggle with that. I think it’s why I have such a tough time staying OP when I’m with the Boyfriend.
