Considering there will be an influx of chocolate this evening let’s be smart and make good choices during the day. Mmmmkay?

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 [...]

Good call. Note to MYself: eat what it takes to not be hungry on the way home from work tonight. Healthy snacks prevent chocolate meltdowns.
Great note to self Roni. Enjoy your Halloween!!!!
Happy halloween, Roni.
I know you enjoy a good horror movie (like me!!), so here’s one my husband and kids (ages 4 and 2) put together. :)

Thanks Roni! I’ve really been challenging myself lately to eat a healthy meal every 4 hours so I don’t have these meltdowns where I want everything that’s bad for me(especially this time of year). Happy Halloween!
I continued a family tradition with my kids, one that all my sibs & I enjoyed (a genius plan formulated by my mother to keep her out of the trick or treat candy!) Here’s the deal – each kid gets a container big enough to hold all their candy. (In my day it was a coffee can – can you even buy coffee in a can anymore?) Each kid labeled their container & put it in their hiding place of choice. The contest was to see which kid could make their candy last the longest. Mom always campaigned for the hiding place to be in the freezer to keep her from being tempted to raid our loot, although all I can say is (from my experience as the mom), frozen Snickers are delicious.
No chocolate in this house this year except for my one very special dark chocolate bark in the freezer, of which I enjoy one little square a day…okay, maybe two in honor of Halloween. Kids in our neighborhood are getting giant sweet tarts this year! That I can control, but not the other stuff, Hershey bars, Mounds, Milky Way, Reeses, off limits.
No candy here either. I can not stop at one piece. I just finished throwing out all junk!
We got mini boxes of Nerds because it’s lower in calories and we can fit in 50 calories if we want to on movie night. They’re not tempting but man I can see if we had kids that those big ol’ bags would be tempting. I like the persons idea about hiding the candy to see how long you can make it last for the kids.
Me too!! I definately struggle when I don’t eat enough good calories during the day. The body has an amazing survival instinct and doesn’t want to be deficient. My problem is that it wants me to us M&M’s to ward away the deficiency. :)
When it comes to just plain old noshing, though, I heard something really neat on the radio the other day. A lady called into a health talk show and was lamenting that she was very overweight and her doctor wanted her to try and lose some before getting pregnant. But she still just wanted to eat and “start again tomorrow”. The health-talk-show-lady gave her this tool…. and I’ve been using it.
Every time you go to eat something, you have to say this (to the food, haha) first:
“I can choose you, or I can choose to be healthy and (insert your goal)”
Then… if you EAT the food, you HAVE to say it!!
(to the food) “I choose you.”
Boy, when you have to say it, it really makes you think!!
We went out to dinner and a movie last night so no candy here! We were with the over 50 crowd every where we went!
Stop! Stop watching me! How did you know that about me? Do you have a camera on my computer? Seriously, that is exactly what I do. I attempt to eat like a mouse during the day (healthy food-sometimes) because I don’t burn many calories in the office. As soon as I walk in the door–booyah–the race is on! It’s either Reduced Fat Cheeze-Its, WW cheese stick, p-nuts, reduced fat potato chips, etc. Before dinner munching is my demise. I decided to bury my old habits (even had a funeral for them) which included weighing myself everyday and the munching before dinner. I took the battery out of my scale. The first 2 days, I did well. The third day, not so well. Fell off the wagon. Dug up the old habits from the grave. The serioud thing about all this is 3 doctors said “get the weight off or diabetes is next.” Hellppppp!
