That feels right. Anyway… Topics covered in this video…

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 [...]
"@Nubiancooki darn! I don't think I have any popsicle ideas although I will tell you almond milk and sugar free chocolate pudding is AWESOME!— RoniNoone

loved the video! I especially liked the part about how we each have our own breaking point. I always thing of you being motivated to lose weight after having your first kid, and I’m about to have my 3rd and kinda beating myself up I didn’t ever have your motivation. So the breaking point really clicked! We all have different triggers.
totally bummed I didnt bring my headphones to work… I normally dont listen to videos/podcasts but I am really interested in the topics this week!
I just adore reading and watching you. Only a couple of those questions apply to me, but I watched the whole thing and sit here smiling like I just had a great talk with my best friend.
OMG! Thank you for telling me I am not the ONLY ONE in the world in the 25lbs mark hump! It’s been since April! It’s the 6 month anniversary of this hump LOL! I am pretty proud that I have maintained a loss of 25-30 lbs with in these months. It’s not awful but I’m ready to move on. I’m running (first 5k on 10/23) and taking Zumba classes twice a month (b/c that’s all they have that works with my schedule). Its just frustrating but I’m not giving up!
I loved what you said about scheduling workouts. I will add some tape workouts to next week. The rain here is unbearable and its cramping my running style.
Thank you for the videos…they always make me feels so great. I watch them at work on Fridays (its like having the radio) and it kind of puts me in the right frame of mind for the weekend.
Dear Knocked-Up Knock Out,
I love the idea of building as much routine into our lives as possible. It just makes everything easier. Like I would really like it if when I open up my closet in the morning, an outfit with coordinating accessories would pop out and be waiting for me. That would be cool.
just listen to your first blog podcast thingy.
i think you are one of the few weight watcher people/followers (?) that i have ever heard se the lap band as a tool and not a cheat.
i really respect you for that.
at som point can you address “how to choose for yourself diet wise”? i have been trying and trying to choose but it seems like i over reearch and never just do.
i think i look at it learn and what i can. i see comments such as “get thin now and lose ” belly fat” and so on but i get so disouraged when i think ok …that is great when you are not 370 pounds like i am. that it would probably work fo those who have less to loose.
heck i have even had the lap band surgery and now, due to severe seasonal allergies, it is sitting in my body empty but still causing me issues. i also have insulin resistance and thyroid issue (nothing big just low i guess? i take snthroid for it to raise th numbers and metformin for the insulin resistance)
how do i choose what i should do? i mean short of a dart board or drawing from a bowl.
Wendy – Unfortunately I can’t answer the question for you. You have to find a plan that resonates with you. One that doesn’t feel like work. And if that’s not happening, make you own! Start small, keep a food journal, focus on preparing more meals at home, reducing dependency on processed foods. You have to make changes that make you feel good about yourself. It’s not about punishing or guilt it’s got to be about making changes that empower you and get you closer to your goals. Changing your attitude from “dieting” to living the healthiest most balance way.
I hope that helps a little. :)
Hi Roni,
Thanks for answering my question, it means a lot to me. Anyway I thought I would give you an up date on how I’m doing. I don’t remember when I wrote that e-mail but by January 2010 I was past my 25lb and working on getting my 50lb milestone at my weight watchers meetings. I started the ct5k program and was doing super great with that. I also found out that I was pregnant with my second child in January, it’s been a very rough pregnancy and I’ve gained all the weight back that I lost after my first child. I’m due to have the baby in 3 weeks and I’m super excited to get back to my weight watchers meetings. Thanks again for answering my question, ans congrats on your pregnancy, you look great!
