I woke up to this…
FUN!
Actually it wasn’t as bad as it looked. We washed everything during Saturday’s snow/sleet storm. All I had to do was fold the towels which I finished right before Little Guy decided to join me.
He helped me put the towels away and then we had a little fun in the kitchen. Pumpkin Pancakes!
Click here to read about our FRESH Pumpkin Pancake Bites with Sprinkles adventure.
Time to put the rest of the laundry away. Normally our downfall is not getting this done before the end of the weekend. Then we end up living out of piles.
Not cool.
While we organized, someone worked on their crawling skills.
Once everything was away I made The Husband his heart attack on a plate breakfast and I had some grapefruit.
After the late breakfast we cleaned up.
Here’s Little Guy showing off the clean mud room. One of his chores this weekend.
Time for a snack!
The boys were having fun with the Legos…
So I decided to go for a quick run. It’s gotten so cold I needed gear. :(
When I came back it was time for lunch. Little Guy and I finished some homemade pizza and I paired it with an experimental Red Pepper Soup with Spaghetti Squash.
Expect a recipe on GreenLiteBites soon. I want to make it one more time to get it just right.
Time to ready The Mystery Machine for the community parade.
Mystery Inc. was ready to make an appearance!
Don’t we rock! This was our first theme Halloween and I’m loving it! SO much fun!
It ended up being a gorgeous day for a walk.
When we got home Little Guy played a little Jack O’ Lantern drums while I made dinner.
I tried something new and it ROCKED! Hope to do a produce pick soon!
I also made meatloaf (trying to perfect my recipe,) creamy mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts.
After dinner a little Goosebumps. :)
Another great day. Now… if I can only get a handle on the nighttime snacking thing. It’s not even Halloween yet and I’m binging on chocolate. Ugh.

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 [...]

aHHH! I think your husband is giving you the finger in that pic with Ryan ;)
Love the theme costumes! I am surprised your husband’s pumpkin isnt a finger.
Oh your costumes are SOOO GOOD!! You all looked wonderful :) I noticed that your husband still managed to get his usual “finger” in on the breakfast shot. No wonder he had that mischievous smile :) Hilarious.
Yay!! you tried Kabocha squash! I also had some for dinner hehe :) I’m glad you liked it, Roni!
You look awesome and oh my, your boys..are the cutest things in the world!
Hi Roni. OK…everytime I see a picture of your husband, I look for the bird. HILARIOUS. You all looked wonderful in your costumes. Have a great, spooky day on Monday.
Ha, loving the find the bird game! ;-) And awesome costumes, you guys rock!
Favorite costumes of the year! The kids look so cute :)
LOVE the Velma.
I’m not glad you binged, but I am glad you told me because then I take you off the “perfect” pedestal and realize your just like me, trying to get it right.
I love your Halloween costumes!! You look good as a redhead, hehe :)
I love the Scooby theme, you guys look adorable.
Great costumes! Your pizza looks yummy.
Love the costumes!!
Dude, I only ask because not knowing is KILLING me, not out of ANY kind of judgment – is your husband drinking soda for breakfast?
Happy Halloween!!!
YES! He comes from a family of soda drinkers. DRIVES ME NUTS!
Oh my goodness! Those are the cutest costumes ever! You had to have gotten some applause over that. I give applause to the hubbs for the one finger salute he slid in there at breakfast. ;)
LOVE the themed Halloween costumes!!! Looks like a perfect day! I just bought my first kabocha squash, can’t wait to roast that bad boy :)
I’m havng a really hard time with the chocolate thing too.. eeks
Love the costumes!!! Just wondering where you bought the frames that are in the room where the boys are playing leggo?
Those are from Ikea!
Thank you – been looking for frames just like that.
Your family looks amazing in those costumes! What fun!
I love Kabocha squash oven roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper. Delicious!
OMG your costumes ROCK! You look so happy in that picture of all four of you. Definitely a frameable moment. Cool!
THAT WAS LIKE TOTALLY AWESOME! My 5 y/o LOVES Goosebumps also!
Love the costumes and nice catch on the bird, Sana! I love the bird!
I will be waiting to see the red pepper soup recipe. Now that winter is settling in, I am making more soups and stews. Kabocha squash is excellent! OMG I love the color and the taste. So orange. I mixed it with couscous and spices. It was a bear to cut up though. Share ideas how you chopped yours.
You & the family costumes were FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the costumes! can you tell me what brand your mary jane shoes are?
Thanks,
Andrea

I have a 9 year old obsessed with Lego’s but we have no way near the collection you guys have so I better not let him see the Lego photo’s, lol. What is that big building? Also, I think you have said before they were playing a lego game, What would that be? Trying to get some christmas ideas!
The the buildings are part of a collector series that my husband started. They are really for adults. Here’s a link…
LEGO® Creator Pet Shop 10218
The games is called heroica. We LOVE it. There are 5, I think, and they can interconnect but you can play with just 1. We have this one….
LEGO HEROICA Draida Bay 3857
Hope that helps!
