The word of the day is…. Tired. Man am I tired. Last night I was invited to a last minute poker game which kept me up a little later then normal. I woke up with Little Man this morning NOT very ready to face the day.
But I forged on. Making a nice warm breakfast give me a boost…
After breakfast Little Guy and I were off to visit a friend. I raided her maternity clothes before heading out to see Megamind. It was a beautiful day and we decided to walk. It was wonderful! I brought my camera BUT pregnant mind has settled in and I forgot the battery was in the charger. SO.. camera with no battery mean no pictures. :(
Visiting, walking, having lunch, seeing the movie and travel time took pretty much the whole day. By the time we came home it was 4PM and I totally crashed. I napped for about an hour on the couch before making dinner.
So my day was fun, active and relaxing HOWEVER the Husband had a VERY productive day. While we were gone he finished cleaning the garage, did the laundry (yes, the LAUNDRY!) empty and filled the dishwasher and fertilized the yard.
I know. I hardly believe it myself. :)
Right now I’m showered and settled in to watch the Walking Dead, my new favorite show. I am having a bit of a snack attack even though I went a little overboard on the pizza for lunch today. And you KNOW Little Man and I hit up the popcorn and candy at the movies.
Just a reminder there’s a few more days to enter The Top Your VitaTop Recipe Contest. I also have a Thanksgiving BlogToLose Challenge underway. Oh! and there are 2 more days to enter the colorful potato giveaway I’m hosting on GreenLiteBites!
I’m totally looking forward to the holiday this week. I’m in need of some family time and I have a household of people on their way!

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 [...]

It’s so cute that you are getting maternity clothes back from your friend. Enjoy wearing them!
First of all, the fact that the husband did the laundry is awesome! I’m also LOVING The Walking Dead. Excited that it’s coming back for a second season!
What did you think of Megamind? I took my kids last weekend and they loved it. By the way could you send your hubs here, my yard needs major work!
Patty – I dosed off a but but I don’t think it was the movies fault. Little Man loved it! He was dancing at the end and we came hold telling “Daddy” all about it.
As for the husband.. the yard is TOTALLY his domain. I do NO work outside unless it’s my own garden or potted plants. ;)
Your tangerine pecan oatmeal looks lovely. I think pecans or walnuts and oatmeal were made for each other!
OMG!!! The Walking Dead is our favorite new show as well. And that oatmeal looks so tasty. I think I may have to buy some tangerines and pecans have have that tomorrow morning!!!
Oooh wow, that looks good! :)
You should invest in a belly band- I got a few at Target. It helps you wear non maternity pants or shirts that aren’t quite long enough to cover your growing belly, I LOVE mine! Also Target sells some black yoga type pants without a tight waist band that are only $15 (soooo much cheaper than maternity pants!) I’ve worn nearly my entire pregnancy (size Large which makes me feel better on those ‘I’m a pregnant cow’ days.) Oh yeah, and your oatmeal looks divine!
