That’s all I have time for tonight. I’m trying to get to bed so I can wake up early and work out. Something I haven’t done in well over a year. I’m committing two mornings a week, Tuesday and Thursdays. I know it’s going to be tough but I also know I’ll feel so awesome all day.
Anyway, on to the journal!
Didn’t have much time for breakfast so I grabbed an apple and some Almond Butter.
For lunch I went a little overboard.
but it was for a good reason. Click here for the recipe and the reason why I made such a big lunch.
Afternoon snack was some hummus and veggies
HUGE NSV for me scooping out the hummus. I normally just grab the container and it’s gone before I know it.
After school the Little Guy and I split a can of Tropical Fruit Salad.
I also grabbed a handful of S’more Goldfish
We went out to dinner at our favorite Chinese/Sushi place. Started with some wonton soup…
Edemame..
and some sushi
I also had a few bites of the husband’s Hunan Chicken.
After the kids went to bed I made some hot cocoa with my customary shot of Irish Cream. :)
OK, off to bed! I’m gonna sleep in my running clothes!

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 said Irish cream Do you mean the real stuff or the cream flavor for coffee.
You may have just started a new habit for me. Coffee and Irish Cream before bed!!! ahhhhhhh!
Enjoy your workout this morning and more importantly… enjoy the great feeling all day that it leaves you with!!
Curious about the Irish Cream too, real Bailey’s or flavored creamer? Oh and good for you getting up early tues/thurs! Wish my schedule would allow it but not now. I need to push myself to exercise late in the day…ugh!
It’s the real stuff. Not Bailey’s though a brand named Ryans. I actually like it better and the rumor is it’s much lighter although I’m not sure it’s true. Why doesn’t alcohol have to publish nutritional info?!? Drives me batty.
Is your hummus flavored? We LOVE the chipotle pepper hummus at Trader Joe’s. I use it for a base on pizzas, tacos and dips. YUM!
Hey Roni – love your photo updates…new reader for the last few weeks and love how you show us your day, you eating all by the click on the camera. The fish for lunch, the picture effect – gave me a good chuckle. My friend sleeps in her workout clothes most days…gives her that kick she needs.Hope your morning exercise was grand.
Staying MOtivated MO
Garlic hummus! I can’t get enough of the stuff!!
OMG, they make S’More Goldfish? Good thing I haven’t seen them in my stores, I would eat.them.all.
Hi Roni. Can you tell me what that other veggie is with the cucumbers and tomatoes. I don’t recognize it. Thanks!
Amanda- I can do one better! Here’s a video Little Guy and I did about it.. http://greenlitebites.com/2010/06/17/produce-pick-kohlrabi/
:)
Roni,
Crazy question but how do you make your hot chocholate? I stole your idea last night and had a cup of hot coco with a “big” splash of irish cream. Yummo! It hit the spot and can’t wait to do it again tonight.
I want to thank you for your great tips. I make smoothies (in a bullet) almost everyday. Kids love them, husband loves them, I love them. Well, I had fresh Kale delivered yesterday and tried it this AM in my smoothie. Wow, great! I am so excited because I know I will be able give it to the kids and they should drink it down without hesitation. Thank you for all the great tips and advice. I look forward to reading your blog everyday. Happy holidays to you and your family,
Elayne
Love, love, love the food tracking technique! I am so doing that tomorrow.
Thanks Roni! Your answer was VERY comprehensive :)
Elayne – Honestly, I warm up some unsweetened almost milk, add unsweetened dark cocoa powder and a splash of the Irish Cream. It’s so yummy!
