Today started just like yesterday except I got to send the 5 year old to school! As soon as he got on the but Little Bean and I were off for our very first run. Click here to read a bit about it on Babble.
As I say, it was a rough 1 mile. I definitely lost a lot of my running stamina but it felt AWESOME to be out there and Little Bean seemed to like it too. He stayed away the whole time just chilling in the stroller.
When we got back I had breakfast…
It was the last wedge of Frittata I made on Easter morning plus a side of mango and some tea.
After breakfast I got to work on conference-y stuff. I’m neck deep in room set ups at the moment.
For lunch I made this little gem…
It’s a A Cuban-esque Sandwich. Very yummy. So yummy I think I’ll be making another tomorrow. :)
I had 3 snacks before dinner.
A banana.
Some Cheese Apple Kabobs.
Sounds strange but I’m telling you… TASTY! and fun. :)
And a leftover Spinach Cupcake
We decided to go to out dinner BUT we walked there.
It was awesome out!
For dinner the family split some edamame.
I had some miso soup
and brown rice sushi
Now I’m ready for bed!
Oh! and I did just grab a yogurt cup while writing this up. ;)

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 [...]

whoa…that sandwich looks seriously ah-mazing. I might need to make that!
Love the jogging stroller! Do you use the carseat when you take him f or a jog? Do you know what brands it is compatible with?
I GRINNNNNNED when i saw this post fly through my twitter stream.
YAY for first runs with new babies!!
Lindsay – I didn’t use the carrier and I’m not sure which ones are compatible but I know you can connect them. They have a picture of it in the book.
I decided just to let him recline. You can pad with blankets and they do have a 5 point harness and head bumper. So really (in my opinion of course) the carrier isn’t necessary.
LOVE Sushi! :)
That is awesome! I am so glad you are getting back out there! I am down for another 4 weeks (surgery ;) ) and am ITCHING to get out and hit the pavement!
And Edamame? What exactly does it taste like? It looks a lot like sugar snap peas…Do you eat it raw? cooked? I’ve been on the edge of trying to decide if I want to try it…
Edamame looks like snap peas but you can’t eat the shells. You suck out the bean from the pod. So fun and tasty. They are cooked. If you go out for japanese one night give them a try!
You can also buy them whole or shelled. For home I buy them shelled and just toss them in boiling water for a minute.
Is that a BOB stroller?
Awesome post Roni! Adorable picture of Evan, looks like he’ s waving. Congratulations on getting back into that first run and WALKING to dinner instead of driving. You are SO lucky to live a walk away from a Sushi place – it’s my favorite dinner-out treat.
You’re an inspiration :)
Looks like little Bean LOVES being in the runner/stroller. Your sushi dinner looks fantastic! Sushi is SOOO good! Have a great day, good luck with those room set ups!
Congratulations on your first run post baby! You will get your running groove back in no time, I am sure.
I have never seen brown rice sushi! That is awesome.
I have to tell you that I had a dream that I went to help you out with the new baby. It was raining and you had invited all these other mom’s with newborns to come over for a picnic. We had to have the picnic inside so we threw blankets down on the floor and picnicked away!
I am way past the baby stage as my kids are in college so I was the oldest one at the picnic!
Clearly I have been spending too much time blogging and working on my new blog, as the blog sphere has taken over my dreams!
Hubby and I had edemame at a Japanese restaurant on our date this past weekend! I was so proud of us for such a healthy choice (he got pork dumplings too, but oh well). Wish we had brown rice sushi here… I’ll have to ask them about that.
The sandwich looks AWESOME! I saw it when you tweeted it at lunchtime yesterday, and I was like “that must be Cuban!” because of the pickles. That’s it, we’re having pork loin next week. Need some leftovers!
This is not a comment regarding this post exactly. My apologies for high-jacking this thread, but I REALLY wanted to let you know how much you motivate me, especially today when I didn’t even know I was looking for motivation.
See, I’ve been a long time follower of yours. In the past year I was promoted to a department management position in retail. I don’t have a regular schedule and can be working a shift anytime of any day. I had become frustrated with trying to find a routine and during the winter decided to cut down on computer time by dropping out of many of my favorite blog communities and such. Although it was nothing personal, yours was included. (But, I still popped in once in awhile to seek a recipe and catch up on your news.)
This evening, I am working a closing shift and while taking a break from my afternoon house cleaning, I decided to see what you, Ryan, Evan and The Husband were up to these days. So, I started here with this post and began to look back into your archives and found several other blog posts that address EXACTLY some of the issues I am having even though I am at least 20 years older than you! LOL Namely, routines, counting points, healthy eating, weight loss and getting my exercise in. Basically, my well-being. Today, I found the motivation I needed to get back on with my healthy living. I had just about thrown in the towel as far as my weight loss went. I did not like the new PointsPlus plan at WW and, had in fact, just quit attending the meetings I struggled to make it to anyway. (But, that’s another story!) You “gave me permission” to continue on with the old plan as I knew it and knew worked! LOL (I won’t tell if you won’t!) Also, you reminded me to take small steps and count the little victories, for even baby steps will get you there and small victories will win the battle!
Thank you so much for being the inspiration that you are! I will gleefully add your blog to my priority list as you have proven to me that I need YOU!
I would just like to *nod in agreement* to the post above from Tammy – this blog inspires me daily (if you’re having an excellent day or blah day, they always have a positive impact). I’ve been reading since 2007 and sometimes feel like I post comments too much, lol, but how else are you to know we’re out here reading!? Thanks Roni.
Aww, he is a ham! Those snack bits look good! Im going to try them with the kids!
You have an award on my blog!

Tammy & Tina –
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I needed a pick me up today. :) Sometimes I do wonder why I keep doing what i’m doing, so it’s great to get feedback. I really appreciate it.
