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 [...]

Awesome. I loved hearing you talk again. You sounded calming to my troubled heart that is sitting on the curb while my brain tries to talk it back to losing weight. I think peace talks have been arranged now. Thank you. Hopefully a settlement and treaty can get set up soon.
I really enjoyed the video… thanks! Especially the part about the knees hurting. I’m in my 5th week of the WWers run a 5k plan and my knees hurt off and on. Good to hear it happened to you as well. I enjoy reading so much I gave you a beautiful blogger award on my site. Thanks again, and enjoy your trip to Disney.
For those who have knee pain or are worried about the potential of it by running with a few extra pounds, take Roni’s advice about seeing your doc, but I also wanted to add that getting fitted for your running shoes is super, super important! Brooks brand shoes are great for beginners because they offer tons of cushion (which will help with the pavement pounding). Also, try running on trails vs. cement sidewalks as much as possible. And lastly, work on your running form. When you’re running with good form, it will make a HUGE difference, it did for me! Also, here’s a link to a Runner’s World article on running form: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267-268-8210-0,00.html
Yeah, what they said :) My knees killed me the first 3 weeks I started running. Some say that your quads, while getting stronger because of all your running, pull your patella bone in a different and that causes discomfort while adjusting. The pain does goes away. And go to a runnning shoes store, get evaluated and buy the righr pair of shoes. And use them only for running, nothing else.
Yes Roni it’s true each time we try we get better at it. I totally get the give up the “on a diet mentality”, yet sometimes, at least for me, if I put away my “weight watchers tools” some old bad habits come back and portion sizes grow etc. So I need to find those “tools” and make some repairs. It’s like home repairs, I guess that’s why they call it maintenance! As for the motivation to make those repairs, for me I just seem to reach a point where I ask myself do I really want to give up all the hard work I’ve done, I try to focus on my health and well being and I ask myself when do I feel better physically and mentally? When I’m living healthy or not? You can guess the answer I’m sure!
Just another comment, Thanks for the couch to 5k link, I just might give it a try!
As Roni said talk to your doctor but I weighed over 200 pounds when I started couch to 5k, my knees hurt sometimes but they will get stronger. I ran 8 miles without stopping the other day and I still weight 175 (5 months after starting couch to 5k) so it is possible to run while heavy but you should check if it is okay for you. Also try working on exercises to strengthen your IT Band as that affects your knees and hips and is especially problematic in women. When I started doing those my knee and hip pain went away.
Hi!! Just a thought about the Couch to 5k-it’s brilliant BUT if you are a beginner runner like myself you spend more time looking at your watch wondering when your 90 seconds/60 seconds/whatever time you are on is up! I found that using a Couch to 5k podcast was my answer! I used this website http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/podcasts/podcasts.html and it has helped me immensely! I am on Week 6 and LOVE running :) Good luck!!
And I love your blog Roni :) I’ve been a lurker for awhile and I just want to thank you for motivating me everyday and all of your great recipes :)
I did the Couch 2 5K when I was 30 pounds overweight. The things that helped me was buying proper running shoes from a running store, walking for 5-10 minutes, stretching, then running, and walking for a cool down. I also never ran on cement, only dirt paths or a treadmill. These ideas really helped my soreness, but I did still have a little soreness.
Great to see you again, Roni! Now we just need a video with the new hair :)
I am actually a runner who had some knee problems BEFORE i started to run. my physical therapist worked with me to strengthen my legs (lots of quad work to strengthen the muscle and take pressure off the knee). this really worked and i ended up running 3 marathons and several half marathons with NO knee pain whatsoever!
thanks for posting about the podcast, sarah! i just checked it out and it is awesome. i have such trouble looking at my watch adn remembering when i need to speed up or slow down–this is the perfect solution!! i saw some other good ones at getfitpod.
:)
You’re welcome Laurie!! They really helped me and I am glad you like it!! :)
LOL I’m gonna try to do one this week. As soon as I dump the day job I’ll get back on a regular schedule. :)
Just my 2 cents here…I just ran my first 5K today. Yay me! And I am still 60 pounds overweight. I’ve lost 15 pounds on WW so far. I ended up doing a run/walk combo today. My time was ridiculously slow. My Mom beat my time ;) But I completed it and now I have a time to beat.
I also had some knee trouble as well as TERRIBLE shin splint issues in the beginning with C25K. New shoes saved me. I think a lot of us just grab our sneaks from the closet and get started. Those shoes changed my running. And after three weeks on the program the knee and shin splints disappeared.
Also, just a tip for those embarking on the C25K program. Run outside if you plan to run a road race 5K. I did almost all of my training on a treadmill. Which was great. But running on a treadmill versus running outside are two VERY different things. And when I started running outside my knee/shin splints came back. If you can’t do it every run try to alternate. It will only help with your endurance.
Oh..and Roni…thank you for the blogging encouragement. You are one of the reasons I gave the 5K today a try ;)
Amanda – That’s awesome! Congrats on your first 5k!
