Weekend Quote: How Many Eggs Have You Thrown Away?

On July 30, 2010 By roni

This weekend quote comes via Jenn. She left it in the comments on my recent Ask Roni: Good Intentions Gone Bad post about giving up on making healthy choices because you had one "slip up."

Note: I don’t want to call them "slip ups" but I know that you know what I [...]

Weekend Quote(s): From Michael Jordan?!?

On June 26, 2010 By roni

Believe me, I’m as surprised as you may be that I’m about to quote famed Basketball player Michael Jordan. I’m not the biggest fan of him or basketball but I happen to stumble across two of his quotes this past week and both struck a chord with me.

Weekend Quote: I Wish

On June 18, 2010 By roni

Have you seen The Daily Motivator? It’s a daily site/email written by Ralph Marston meant to inspire and motivate. I don’t subscribe but I usually stumble across it every few months. His writings are short, concise and normally get me thinking. As a blogger I also find him to be completely inspirational. He’s been publishing [...]

Weekend Quote: Focus on Change

On May 15, 2010 By roni

So I’m still on this CHANGE kick but I could not have found a better quote for my blog, this time in my life, or weight loss in general. This quote by Jack Dixon (I’m not sure which Jack Dixon so I don’t feel comfortable linking) pretty much sums up my entire life philosophy and [...]

Weekend Quote: Quick Dr. Seuss on my out the door.

On May 7, 2010 By roni

I’m off this weekend to my friends wedding. The same one I was trying dresses on for a few weeks ago. I’m totally looking forward to a bit of down time. The husband and I will be childless for the weekend. I’m not bringing the computer. I need to just be for a few days. [...]

Weekend Quote: Just Be

On April 24, 2010 By roni

This weekend’s quote was chosen to describe my approach to today. Lately I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed. There are so many things I’m trying to do. Trying to accomplish. Honestly, I feel like I’ve been pursuing something for YEARS…

Weekend Quote: Happiness

On April 16, 2010 By roni

This quote needs no introduction, it’s that good. I saw it on MommaTwana’s blog.

Being Happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you’ve DECIDED to look beyond the imperfections.
-Unknown

My addition was the caps on DECIDED. Sometimes I think we forget that we have that choice. :)

Weekend Quote: Happiness and Success

On April 9, 2010 By roni

Posting real quick before I travel for my friends Bridal Shower and Bachelorette party. I’m looking forward to a night out with a bunch girls even though I really don’t know anyone accept the bride. It’ll still be fun. We are going to Atlantic City, only my favorite weekend getaway ever!

Just thinking [...]

Weekend Quote: Wasting Food

On March 26, 2010 By roni

Carrie from teambojo left a comment about wasting food on my How Fast Do You Eat? post that really got me thinking. . .

You can throw it out and waste food or you can eat it and waste food. Either way it’s wasted. One will keep you thin and the other will make you [...]

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 [...]
