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 [...]

You need to get him to speak at Fitbloggin!
love. this. video.
Thank you. :)
Amazing and humbling.
I want to watch it again but I can’t cry like that again today. I had the worst headache yesterday :) Love him!
Very nice and inspiring, but it sort of makes it seem like fat = miserable and thin=happy. If you’re an unhappy fat person, being skinny isn’t going to change all of that. JMO.
what an inspiration. I think he’s found happiness in his accomplishments as opposed to his thinness…
Oh wow! That part that got me was the Ironman part. You have 17 hours to finish an Ironman and it looks like he did it in 16:48 and some change. That’s awesome…incredible!!! My DH has his sights on an Ironman…in a couple of years. That’s an awesome video!!
I agree with Valeria. For some us finding that thing that drives us and makes us happy is the life changing event. The weight loss is a side effect. Regardless, he was unhappy.. it doesn’t matter if it was because of the weight or that the weight was a side effect of it. Running helped him out of that slump.
This was awesome.
I don’t look at it that he lost weight and life is now good, but that he made changes in his life that made him feel good and that is why he is happy…not just because he is thinner. That is why I love this video so much. He made the change. And now he is an inspiration to others.
Fantastic.
That was just …. WOW. What an awesome video/story.
Wow, so inspiring!
Thanks for making me cry at work! In all seriousness, that is truly inspirational, no excuses, just get up and do it. Thanks for sharing his story.
That is great. He started that journey with only one step, then two, then three…it was just that simple.
That brought tears to my eyes…and seriously gave me the kick in the ass that I desperately needed this week. Thank you for sharing it!
I am awestruck. It was great. I love that he crossed the finish lines with his Dad and brother. I can’t wait until my boys are older and can run with me. We did a one mile this spring and it was great!
Loved that! What an inspiration! Does anyone know the name of the song in the video? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing that link… amazing and very inspirational, expecially to a new overweight runner.

It brought me to happy tears! I was so happy for him and his story was inspirational. I love things that inspire others to be their best. Thanks Roni, it made my day.
Thank you so much for sharing. It sure has been a night of crying. While watching Biggest Loser I was catching up on “Roni” and I see this video. It’s a nice story and a great feeling and more inspiration.
OMG!!! Tears doesn´t even cover the flood that is streaming down my face right now…………..
AMAZING! And…yes…I was crying too! :) I shared it on my facebook page! What an inspiration!
Amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Truly amazing and totally inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey with us as well as a great piece of inspiration.
I don’t usually comment but I had to say thank you for posting this! Just to see and watch the photo process of 1 year was amazing. Makes it so doable! Great post! I think my favorite so far.
YOU had a tummy tuck!!! Why oh why would you do something like that? Do tell
Lynn – I’m not sure where this question is coming from on this post. It’s all in my archives.. This may help… http://ronisweigh.com/2008/05/choice-for-plastic-surgery-after-weight.html
Speechless. Just, WOW!
I saw this a couple days ago. Absolutely awesome!
omg. I must marry him.
