I had a crappy day. It took me 2 HOURS to get home from work. The traffic was horrendous. Thankfully I had leftovers in the fridge to whip up a quick dinner or I might have fallen prey to the husbands Pizza request. Ohhhh how tempting it was but it was healthier, cheaper and faster for me to cook. Really.. it was.
After dinner we did get in a nice family walk and some family time in the back yard before heading in to watch Scooby Doo. That made me feel better. :)
Once little guy went to bed I posted my new Sweet Mini Meatball Idea on GreenLiteBites and then I decided it was time for ice cream. Sometimes you just need ice cream. Especially after a looooong day.
So I measured out 1/2 a cup of chocolate frozen yogurt, topped it with frozen wild blueberries and some fresh strawberries with a small squirt of light chocolate syrup.
It was DELICIOUS! And so how I wanted needed to end my day. Oh! and only about 150 cals… 3WWPs!
Now I’m off to bed. I’m getting up early again tomorrow.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]

My former RD told me, “You don’t eat ice cream because you’re hungry. You eat ice cream because it tastes good.” and basically I shouldn’t feel guilty about it because everyone loves ice cream.
I agree, sometimes you just need ice cream. So enjoy :)
That looks so very good! No ice cream in my house yet… since I am pretty sure I would eat entirely too much. But I did see that Breyers now makes a mint chip yogurt and might have to give that a try.
I’m still buying the super expensive single servings for my family.
But that’s okay. It’s helping me re-calibrate.
Do you make chocolate almond milk? Or buy it premade?
LOL, even on Medifast, I’ve been making “ice cream” out of their pudding plus ice. You’re right, it is one of those necessary things once in awhile!
Sorry you had a crappy day but at least you got an adorable picture out of it. :-)
It’s true. I rarely have so when I do (only when I have those cravings and really know that I want it) it’s just so good! :)
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan so sorry you had a crappy day, Woman.
and as always you reign victorious and PICTORIOUS :)
love the photo.
I have 45 minutes of childcare today :)
will see if youhappen to be free!
I had ice cream last night too, Fat Free Breyers. It was just one of those ice cream kinda days.
Gwen – I’m buying it right now.. haven’t had time to make my own although I’d love to experiment with the perfect chocolate recipe. :)
Good job! Sounds like you did the best you could. Sorry you had a crappy day. And yes, sometimes you just NEED ice cream.
Mmm! I want that now! Breakfast or lunch!
A co-worker just told me this morning about these new Skinny Cow ice cream cups that are only 2-3 WWPs for the whole container. I can’t wait to try them!
Some days are just like that. I had a crappy day and ate a ton of strawberries with yogurt and blueberries. O and the ton of granola on top.
I would much rather eat at home most nights, I can make a healthier more filling meal than what I would get in most restaurants.
Cute photo!
Roni,
One of the cool things about blogging is connecting to people from all over the world. I’ve gotten a real kick out of reading some posts on your blog. This one about ice cream and pizza touched a nerve for me because they are both weaknesses of mine. I’m still thinking about making my little boy a chocolate milkshake yesterday and battling my willpower so that I didn’t make enough for both of us. Sometimes, you do just need ice cream. Thanks for reminding me I am not alone. All the best to you…
Roni, Congratulations on your exciting news. Here’s mine. I had chocolate ice cream with my little boy tonight and enjoyed it despite the guilt. : )
