I’m giving myself 15 minutes to post this as I need to go to bed. Little Bean sleeps his longest stretch before midnight and I need to start taking advantage.
Breakfast was this ugly western omelet…
2 eggs, onion, peppers and ham. What can I say? Sometimes they stick. Still tasty!
I also had half an orange the Little Guy didn’t finish before school
I had a busy morning so I grabbed a Larabar quick to hold me over until I had a bit more time.
For lunch I hit my leftovers from PF Changs. It was a couple of chicken lettuce wraps and a bit of fried rice.
A few hours later I grabbed a banana.
Dinner was a new salmon idea I had. Just a simple glaze but it turned out great!
I pared it with mixed veggies and some quick fried rice using the brown rice we took home from PF Changes. I started doing this anytime we get Chinese. I always ask for brown rice on the side and then use it in recipes. Gets me more bang for my going out buck. ;)
For dessert I made some banana soft serve using a splash of chocolate soy milk and a handful of cocoa almonds. It may not look like much…
But it was DIVINE! This will cure my ice cream craving all summer. I need to start stocking up on bananas!

That was my day in food. Time for fall asleep watching Nurse Betty and the United States of Tara. My new Monday night TV obsession!
In other news… My Baby is a Poop Bandit and I’m stereotyping my Twitter Friends.

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

I love the food journal! Gives me lots of great ideas!
You are doing awesome with food choices considering how busy you are-way 2 go! One of these years I’m going to come to fitbloggin… Looks like a great time! Do you have plans to return to the video/podcast updates? I know how busy you are with 2 children, blogging, planning fit blogging,etc.. Im Just missing those updates:-) Take care
I love seeing the food journal. Glad to know that your omelets don’t always turn out perfectly beautiful either. I make omelets regularly and definitely have ended up with something more like scrambled eggs on many occasions.
Leah – Once the conference is over I’ll be back with podcasts. COnsider this my maternity leave. ;) I’m also hoping to get some new equipment so the quality is a little better.
We have auctions/flea markets here in PA that sell bananas 3lbs for $1! I know! I rarely buy because even a family of 5 can’t go through that many bananas in a week!
I was just about to say I love food journals too … and especially food photos. Yummy and healthy ‘ice cream’ idea, Roni. Not sure if I can stay away from Dairy Queen all summer, but so glad I discovered their “kid size” vanilla, chocolate and dipped cone sizes. About 200 calories and totally hits the spot.
Great eats Roni! I forgot to mention how thin you look in the photo you posted yesterday! The baby weight is falling off!
I love chocolate banana soft serve and make it with cocoa and a little Greek yogurt. Fabulous and so low cal. Yum!
Hi Roni,
I have recently discovered your GreenLiteBites site! I think it is wonderful and that you are an inspiration :-D I have to say I think I am addicted to discovering new recipes!
Kind regards from the UK
Jo
I cracked up at your “ugly” comment. Love your food journal! Have a great day.
