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 [...]

You look great! I see a quite a difference in your belly from last week, how exciting. Can’t wait to see the little man :)
Still looking great and you FINALLY look pregnant. So good to see. I love the magnet/chalkboard paint! Can’t wait to see the nursery when finished!! :)
i LOVE the chalkboard/magnet wall! what brand do you use? i’ve looked up different paints but i want to get one that i know works
thanks! btw, you look great!
I love the wall!! That is just awesome!! I will remember this for when I have children!
My husband is now dying to know where you got the magnetic primer and chalk wall paint.
Love the colors! You are so right! A nursery is for the parents, not the baby. They don’t care either way!
wow, your belly is really rounding out now, you look fabulous!!! 10 weeks is going to fly….enjoy every moment!!!
Your belly looks way bigger this week! Definitely have the big baby bump now. I love the nursery and can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Hey Roni! It’s been a LONG time since I commented on your page! I still read/watch often though! You look amazing and so cute! The nursery is gonna be adorable! Congrats:)
I love these updates! They bring back so many memories. You are looking fabulous! I love that we got to see the “before” picture of the nursery and that you are sharing all of that excitement with us as well. So fun! I am happy to report I ordered my copy of the cookbook today. It should arrive on Wednesday. I can’t wait!! Thanks again for sharing!
ha, you’ve POPPED! Looking good – but I can see a difference over this past week too! I do love these updates… :D
The room is wonderful. We didn’t do too much to make ours babyish – just added accents since it had just been painted. I loved sitting in the room when I was close to my due date and dream about the baby! Ahhhh.
D
I can’t believe you only have 10 weeks left!! I feel like it was yesterday you announced you were pregnant!! I can’t wait to see the little bean at FitBloggin : )
LOL a nursery is for parents not babies! I loved it!
gonna chime in here and say that you FINALLY look pregnant. you popped for sure :)
This is going to be a Biker Baby! My hubby and I have a Harley and love it!
Hello Roni
I have been reading your blog forever and love it. Unfortunately, I have recently been blocked from seeing your videos :( and was wondering if you could maybe put a picture or something, so I can pretend that I am part of your video updates. If it is too much work, then you do not have to worry about it. Just thought that it never hurts to ask.
Thank you for being such an inspiration
You look great as always! :)
I love the chalk/magnetic wall…so creative indeed.
The colors of the nursey are great. I’m sure you are so excited and can’t wait to meet your baby! Us too!
Have a great week! :)
ohhh if you are going to have a black and orange wall, moons and stars are perfect!! Are you going to put glow in the dark stars on the ceiling? I looooove them. I love the magnet/chalk board idea!
You definitely look pregnant now (and beautiful, as always). I love these updates!
Love the wall idea.
maybe someday for my grandkids.
oh and you finally pop. You look great
First of all, you look fantastic!! And I am totally in love with the magnetic/chalkboard wall what a great idea!! I had no idea that was even possible.
Rebekah – the brands are pretty generic. I don’t think the big names carry them. Lowes and Home Depot both carry some. This time I used the ones sold at sherwin williams.
Hey Roni~
I haven’t been to your site in a while, but I decided to check in to see how your pregnancy was coming along. Girl, I have to say you look AWESOME to be 30 weeks pregnant!!! You have, without a doubt, maintained a great weight throughout this pregnancy. You are such an inspiration! You literally look normal (fit and trim) from above the belly and up. When you showed your belly, I couldn’t believe how trim you looked- not in a bad way. You look 30-weeks, but only (and seriously ONLY) at the belly. That’s quite an accomplishment! When I was pregnant, I let it all go and gained quite a bit everywhere. You know you are a changed person (eating-wise) when you can be pregnant and not gain everywhere. I am impressed and inspired!! :)
WOW! 30 weeks already! You look great, Roni!
Great video blog! thanks for sharing your story
