Review: Blue Bunny Ice Cream

On November 20, 2008 By roni

When Jordan emailed me and asked if I’d be willing to give Blue Bunny Ice Cream a try I did NOT expect the cornucopia of sweet treats that were delivered to my door step.

Sent in a cooler with dry ice (how cool is that stuff?!?), I received 6 products! Here’s a [...]

Review: Quaker Oatmeal Squares

On November 12, 2008 By roni

I have quaker products coming out of my ears from the chicago trip. Before I left they were nice enough to send a box of products for us to try. A few of the things I liked, a few I didn’t and some I haven’t even gotten a chance to eat yet!

This [...]

Product Review and Contest: Gracie’s Gear Sports Bra

On October 20, 2008 By roni

I can’t believe I’m reviewing fitness gear. HA!

The day before the Marathon when I went to pick up my racing pack, I perused about the fitness expo. Well, that’s not entirely true, they forced me to walk clear across it just to pick up my darn free t-shirt! Anyway, while being bombarded by [...]

Product Review: Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake

On October 14, 2008 By roni

It’s been a long time since I had a Twinkie and to be honest I wasn’t THAT big of a fan. I mean, don’t get me wrong, as a kid if someone offered me one I wasn’t going to turn it down but I was more of a Devil Dog, Ring Ding girl myself. So [...]

Lifeway Kefir Probiotic Bars

On September 29, 2008 By roni

Have you guys heard of Kefir? According to Lifeway, “Kefir is the cousin of yogurt and its roots can trace back more than 2000 years.” “The word Kefir is thought to have been derived from the Turkish word "Keif" for "good feeling", probably due to the sense of well-being experienced after drinking it.”

POM Wildberry Light White Tea

On September 19, 2008 By roni

The nice people at the POM blog asked if I’d be willing to review there Diet POM Tea. Being almost an exclusive water drinker, I appreciate the samples as I hardly every look down a beverage aisle.

So I’m drinking one right now and I’m really liking it. It has a nice light sweetness [...]

Review: Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Heart Healthy VitaTop and Some Fun News!

On September 7, 2008 By roni

Last year I tried the Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Flavored VitaBrownie and they soon became my favorite Vitalicious product, until now! Recently I got a chance to try the Dark Chocolate Pomegranate VitaTop and I like it even better! I mean they taste identical but the size and shape of the VitaTop is nicer, especially when [...]

DD Smart Menu

On September 2, 2008 By roni

The other day I found myself at a Dunkin Donuts. Did you ever think you’d read those words on my blog? :~) I was picking up donuts for the husband, don’t get me started, and I was hungry. UGH! Talk about temptation! Thankfully I was there after a run and honestly had no desire for [...]

Birthday Brain Dump

On July 24, 2008 By roni

OMG SO much to tell you!

First of all, I lost my internet connection for like 12 hours yesterday after an evening thunderstorm, Hence post-less Wednesday. I won’t say I was freaking out because it actually gave me some time to get offline work done but I was a little distraught. I’m SO addicted [...]

Golden Corn Mix

On June 23, 2008 By roni

Last week, when I had a house full of guest for the toddlers birthday I made breakfast for everyone. It’s one of my absolute favorite things to do! Made to order omelets and this year, corn muffins!

I chose to make Golden Corn VitaMuffin Mix instead of my own recipe. With 8 made to [...]

Fizzy Lizzy ‘Sodas’

On June 19, 2008 By roni

Geesh for someone who doesn’t really drink anything but water I’ve been getting asked to review a lot of beverages lately.

Fizzy Lizzy arrived at my doorstep in a neat little 4 pack, with old fashion 12 oz glass bottles and little metal bottle-caps. They were really cute!

Reading the nutritional information made [...]

Nike + iPod Sport Kit – A Review

On June 6, 2008 By roni

Update: Check out my latest post on the Nike+ and other devises I use when I run.

I’m going to hold off on my journal entry tonight. I’m just not in the mood BUT I had to share my experience with the Apple Nike + iPod Thingamajig (I’m really not sure what to call it, [...]

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 [...]
