I had a WONDERFUL day! It was my first official day home since leaving my job. Me and Little Guy had so much fun hanging out. I played. I cooked. I cleaned. I worked. And it all started after an early morning trip to the Radiology department.
In case you missed my Blissful news from BlogHer, I had a positive pregnancy test. I decided to share the news as I’m horribly stressed when trying to keep a secret. Especially THIS secret. So I spilled the beans. Then I got sick, REAL sick and given my history the doctor thought it was best I go for an early ultrasound.
Well I’m happy to say…. I heard and SAW a strong heartbeat on the little bean!! So I guess it’s a official! I mean.. you never know what will happen but I’m embracing this and it’s something I’m extremely happy about. EXTREMELY!
Now.. you may be asking about that teeny tiny race I signed up for in December. You know, the MARATHON. At this point I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. That may change after I talk to my doctor on Wednesday but either way I’m definitely going to vegas. I’ve already booked my flight and hotel. The way I see it.. I can always walk it. There are just too many amazing bloggers going to miss out. Plus.. it’s Vegas! VEGAS! Only my second favorite city ever! :)
Anyway today really was a great day. Besides the wonderful news, I made a family pleasing dinner, Dry Rubbed Pan-Fried London Broil and then Little Guy and I decorated the driveway. So much more fun then just watching tv. :)

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
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 [...]

I was wondering what you were going to do about the race, but I figured you would make your choice! And- walking it sounds amazinggg!
Congrats on the strong heartbeat! Great news!!
YEAH!!! !!! !!!! !!! Happy thoughts are with you, Hubby, Toddler and the Bean!!! ;-)
Wait— he’s the Little Guy now- no longer the toddler! Sorry! :-)
Oh my goodness, what a great day!! I’m so happy for you I love the little “bean” stage. We went in when my little one was just 5 weeks and looked like a little skittle on the screen :)
That is the best news! Congrats.
Soooo happy for your excitement!! And I really want to do that race in Las Vegas too! BUT…I’m training with Team in Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the Miami marathon in January, so I should wait for that. :) Maybe next year I can do that Vegas one. I love Vegas too.
I’m so happy for you. Twice now I’ve cried at that first ultrasound, there is nothing like hearing the heart beat of you child for the first time. again I’m so so happy for you!
What an amazing day :) One to remember forever
Woo hoo!!! Congrats on the heartbeat! :-)
As for Vegas, I’ve heard there are so many people that register, I wonder that anyone could do it faster than a walk.
I am so excited to hear this. Congratulations. You are going to have the most beautiful baby!! :)
Yeah Roni!! I love the little bean stage. You are beaming! So happy for you! Lots more prayers for you and the little bean. :)
<3
Congratulations! I’m so happy there’s a heartbeat!! :) I’m considering the Las Vegas Half. Not sure yet if I will but it would be soooo fun if I did!!
Every time I saw an update from you in my RSS I was desperate to see if you had any news… I’m so happy for you. I’ll continue to keep you and the little bean (and the whole crew of course) in my thoughts and keep sending you good vibes/prayers/etc.
I read this amazing article about a top marathoner who raced pregnant, twice… It’d be pretty cool to do, just saying!
w00t!! Congrats! :)
Congrats Roni! :) So happy for you and your family!
Roni – I am so happy for you. I had three miscarriages in one year, so to hear that little heartbeat means the world. My doctor also told me that once you hear or see the heartbeat the chances of miscarriages are like 6%. YAY YAY and SUPER YAY!!! Congrats sistafriend!
YAY! I’m so happy for you, Roni. ♥
Congrats Roni!! There’s NOTHING better than hearing your babys heartbeat. When I got pregnant after my miscarriage I nearly puked when I had my first ultrasound I was so scared. I didn’t tell anyone I was pregnant till I was 20 weeks “just in case”. spread the word, enjoy it!! I feel like I missed out by keeping quiet! my little man is 7 months now, my little miracle : )
I’m so happy for you and your family!
Congrats! everyone seems to be having babies lately, and it is just wonderful.
Being excited about Little Bean is SO the way to go. Of course you never know what might happen, but in the end letting yourself be excited and embrace the beautiful possibilities can only help. I am thrilled for you and I can’t wait to see the next adorable, fuzzy ultrasound picture.
Congrats, Roni! That is such exciting news!!!
I remember these days. This is so exciting Roni! I am so happy for you ;-)
I’m waaay behind on reading blogs these days. CONGRATULATIONS on your spectacular news!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you and the family! I’m also selfishly happy to have you back to ourselves. LOL I know, you still have your fingers in many pots, but, for the most part, you seem to be back to your happy Roni self that we love!
::::BIG GRIN:::::
As I shared yesterday, it was a good day for ultrasounds. I found out that I will be a grandma!

SQUEEEEEEEE! So awesome! ( I saw the FB update yesterday and cheered.;) )
I am soooooo happy for you! That is wonderful news!
We still call our son Little Bean or Bean and he’s 2. I will never forget seeing that strong heartbeat for the first time. What a happy moment!

Jealous!
Congrats Roni, sooooooo happy for you and that hearbeat u/s must have been such a joy. I look forward to seeing your healthy eating as I feel I am not doing my best during this pregnancy sometimes the ice cream just calls to me…. :P Secrets suck and you know we will all be here to support you no matter what. HUGS!
Yay for the little bean and his heartbeat! Such a beautiful feeling. Now we can hear about what’s healthy for the babies while they’re still in the womb. :)
What fantastical news! I know how excited you and your husband are, and how excited Little Guy will be to be a big brother to the little bean.
Enjoy every minute of it…..you are indeed living the best times of your life.
My youngest (now 21) was born in April and he has the best most mellow, caring, and easy going personality.
Oh ! What a great day for you!
I am filled with joy for you and your family! Lucky Little Bean to be coming in to such a great life!
congrats Roni! A baby is such a beautiful thing and i’m so happy for you (even if i’m a stranger who just reads your blog!) Congrats again!
YAY!
Hey you can still run it if you want, I had a friend who ran a marathon while pregnant with twins! Just do what feels good to your body!
So happy for you Roni!!! Any morning sickness yet?
Funny you should ask. Feeling quite queasy at the moment. :)
Congratulations!!! I am SO excited for you :)
