I’m tired!
Mom snapped this picture of me on her cell phone at dinner. . .
I’m exhausted after 2 days of FitBloggin’. EXHAUSTED but happy, excited, and relieved with a little overwhelmed mixed in. I seriously could NOT have had a better time and I can NOT wait to share some thoughts and pictures with you but honestly, I need sleep.
We’ll catch up later. Promise. :)

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 [...]

Sleep, baby, sleeeeeeeeeeep! You so deserve it! Everyone is RAVING about the most awesome conference ever which I MUST attend in 2011 come hell or high water. If you have it in Cali I’ll help you, promise.
Yes, I’m with Foodie, I have heard so many great things about the conference today that I MUST MUST secure sponsorship to come next year – looks like you did a great job! Congrats! I hope to meet you next year :)
Thank you for an amazing conference. I learned a lot and had such a fun time meeting some of my favorite bloggers and tons of new bloggers in real life. You did an excellent job!
Heard a ton of great things about the conference! Hope it all went great!
thank you so much, roni. i had a wonderful time at my first blogger conference. get some rest!
You put on such a great conference!!!!!! Thanks Roni.
Thanks for everything. It was so great!
I think I’ll cry just a little. In a good way. Then, I’ll just sleep for hours. Thanks again!
I can’t wait to hear/read/see all about it. I am one of the jealous people out there that wished I was able to have made it. Maybe next year!??!! :)
For you will be known throughout the land as Queen Ronista the fitbloggin diva. I don’t even know what that means but hey, I’m tired and had to give you one last shout for the amazing job you did!! Clap…clap…clap!
Congrats!!! From what I’ve read so far, it was amazing! Please, do consider the SF Bay Area! I’d join Foodie McBody’s crew of helper for sure!
Sounds like you all had a great time, wish I could have been there to meet you all.
Go sleep you deserve and need it!
Poor thing! I couldn’t attend (I live in very very far away country) but I was following the hashtag #fitbloggin in twitter all day! So jealous of the people who could made it! I heard that you got a lot of applause at the end, so happy for you! From today, you’re not just Roni, maybe TITAN-roni or SUPER-roni? UBER-roni?
Just rest and have your yoga early tomorrow. Then, have a bubble bath. Later, after puttin fitbloggin behind a few hours, after playing with the toddler-the kid- aka ryan, take a deep breath and think about this, if you may:
All of you bloggers about health and exercise are, indeed, a community. And in that community some of you are leaders. Maybe because some have more visitors, more clicks, more anything. Until yesterday, you were a part of the leaders, one of those who *made it* in the fitness blogging. If healthy blogging was a beast, you were one of its five or ten heads.
Then you had to have this crazy idea of fitbloggin. Dude, you just become the alpha male, or at least went up a whole lot of positions. The big dudes in fitness blogging are now looking up to you. U R BIG MAMMA right now. Enjoy it, ride it, work it! You’re like Frodo – guess who has the freaking magic ring in her hands!!!!!
Sleep is overrated… :)
Anyway, thanks for the great weekend. I’ll catch up more later…
enjoy your much needed rest! i SO wish to go next year so i can meet everyone
Like so many others, I couldn’t make it to FitBloggin this weekend, but have loved reading about all the wonderful events and the incredible community you gathered. Take some time to rest up and recharge, but then of course I would love to read your recap as well….. Congrats!!
congratulations on such an amazing conference- everyone has nothing but good things to say about it. you are incredible, for real. i hope i can attend next year!
Thanks for putting on such a great event, and THANK YOU so much for allowing us to be apart of it! We enjoyed meeting you and hope our paths cross again!
Sleep – you deserve it! Just wanted to check in and tell you that while I wasn’t there this weekend…you were with me. At least in my mind…Let me explain! I did it!!!! I ran a 5K!!!!! ok…walk-ran, but I finished strong! And you were with me!!! I just started back my walking routine a couple of weeks ago and my freshman son kinda challenged me to start jogging with him at the beginning of last week – so I thought why not? I’ll give it a shot! His school had a 5K, we signed up and ran on Saturday. My goal was just to complete the run…I didn’t think I would even be competitve. But I came in 2nd in the 40-49 age group!!! It’s my first run – but I’m pretty sure it won’t be my last! When I got to the 2 mile mark – I had been jogging for a while and I was getting tired…Then I thought of you and I could almost hear you cheering me on…So, I say THANKS!!! You make a difference in so many lives every day! Never doubt that!
Congrats on FitBloggin! From what I’m reading, everyone had a great time and found it very beneficial. I hope you got some well deserved sleep!
Roni, it was such an amazing conference! I enjoyed all the sessions, meeting everyone (and YOU!) and LOVE my swag! Whooo hooo!
Thank you for all of your hard work! You are a natural at this and so calm, cool and collected!
I’ll bet! I can’t wait to read and see all about it!
Dude, get some rest, and post when you can, we’ll wait!!
I can’t wait to hear all about it!!!
i’ve read lots of great things about fitbloggin’ already :) hope to make it one year!
