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 [...]

Roni, this is GENIUS!!!!
I’m a total Twitter addict and so this is right up my alley. This is such an ingenious use of Twitter.
I’ve already set up a new Twitter account and I’m using it on my blog.
GENIUS!!!
Is the chart supposed to come out pink on our blogs? Because mine isn’t.
Great question! No it will be styled the way your theme or template has defined tables. For example if you paste it into a BlogToLose blog it looks like this… http://www.blogtolose.com/profiles/blogs/day-8i-ate-and-ate
(well that’s the other generator but same point)
If you want it to look like mine I can give you the CSS to paste in your css file.
Roni, I am new at Twitter, but I do have an account. I would love to twitter my food diary. I am thinking I only have to copy and paste the above XHTML code. Well I shall soon see. Thanks for your blog, I love it.
Betty
Hey Roni!
I’ve been reading your blog for months now and like to watch AskRonis when I do my dishes at night :)
Anyway, this wole Twitter thing is absolut genius! My screen name up there is ShhhFood. I missed the #-tag today, my first day, but will be posting it by dinnertime!
Thanks for the crazygood idea!
Roni, I signed up for twitter, and I have been posting my food journal. I think I have been doing it wrong. I never seem to be able to copy and paste the table directly to my blog.( in fact I never get a table) I have to go to your page each time and add everything individually. What do you think I am doing wrong. Thanks, Betty
Hi Betty! I should be able to help. What is your twitter username?
Roni, It worked, thanks so much. BTW, I love your site, I made the pinto bean soup this weekend it was very good.
Betty
Roni, I would LOVE your css to paste into my blog to make my chart look nice like yours ;) I have a blogger blog I am not sure if that will make a difference?
Nope.. it would make a difference. Do you know where to put the css?
Try to copy and paste this…
table{border-spacing:1px;border:1px solid #c0e2f3;margin:5px 0 10px 0;}
td, th{padding:4px;}
th{text-align:center;background-color:#d4effd;color:#666666;border:0;}
tr{background-color:#e6f3f9;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #c0e2f3;}
Hey Roni! Have been reading your blog(s) for a while now and finally decided I’d delurk and also give this a try. I do not understand twitter at all, but I do understand that it will let me track consistantly, so I am giving it a shot! Particularly since it’s become clear recently that my track-book method is no longer working.
Just a random question/suggestion: I use tables on my blog for all sorts of random “I-hate-HTML-lets-just-bloody-do-it-this-way” moments. Is it possible to include a specific css class/style ‘tag’ for the table/tr in your generator? For people who don’t use HTML, it’d just revert to a normal table (right? My HTML skills are a little patchy), but for people like me, I could write those specific classes into my CSS to make it all pretty. Does that make sense?
Also, thanks so much for posting…well, everything. You’re a daily read for me and I find it so motivating. You’ve also inspired me to start cooking and to play when I cook, which is wonderful! Thanks again for this,
Katali.
Katali – GREAT idea! Of course I understand. For a quick fix I just added “foodjournal” as the class for the table. Hope that helps!!
Great idea Roni. Congrats on a fantastic job. Good luck in your new job also.
Thanks for all your good ideas.

Just started to use twitter for my food journal today! I am sooo excited to not have to be carrying around my ‘form’ that I made to track my week. Thank you sooo much Roni! Brilliant, I say, Brilliant!
have you seen ?
have you seen tweetwhatyoueat ?
Is there a way that this can be done as a “feed” – to continuosly update what you eat. Do you know what I mean?
Thanks!
It’s a great tool
Lori – twitter already has a feed. For example my food journal feed is… http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17754465.rss
You can simply add the feed to your sidebar!
Does that make sense?
I see it now! I am REALLY new to twitter, so thank you for your insight. Roni – you simply ROCK!
Roni,
Just read the article about you on CNN and found my way here. I’m a huge twitter fan and I’m trying to become a fan of eating right too. I’ve protected my feed but feel free to follow.
I’ve kept a food journal before but was frustrated with having to look things up and then still having to modify the actual number of calories. I love your unit system, although I haven’t quite figured out what they’ll mean for me yet. I’m thinking more of a “star” system corresponding to how good of a choice that food was.
It’s a good thing I started this before going home to my bowl of leftover Halloween candy!
Thanks!

Can I tweet my food journal from my phone without having internet on my phone? By just texting?
test
Im doing something wrong and I dont know what… I made my twitter account (chrissysfood) I sent a test food entry but I dont have [ ] on my phone, I have ( )… is that ok???
And I put the info into the food jounral thing on the top of here and nothing… there is an XHTML on the reply section but when I copy that, my blog wont let me paste it… although im not sure thats what im supposed to do anyways…. HELP
ok new question – I figured out how to get it to make the chart – yaaa me! and I found out how to make the [ ] on my phone (needed to go to keyboard option) now my new issue – so when I put in toast [5] as a test… it shows up on my chart as A5N with the A and N having lines over them. And the number doesnt show on the tally side… what did I do wrong?
Hi Roni,
I’m having a hard time getting my table to generate – my twitter name is annafood and I’m formatting my tweets like oatmel [2] but it won’t generate!
Thanks!
Anna – You have to “unprotected” your updates. By keeping them secure you are not allowing my app access. Does that make sense? Let me know if you get it to work!
Christina – Still working on you A D issue. Have to do research.
Thanks, Roni! That works! :)
Hey Roni
I already set up a twitter account but want to make another one just for my food journa entries. But when I set up another account it won’t let me bc it says email address already taken. Can you have multiple twitter accounts?
thanks so much
Jo
joanna – You can have multiple accounts but you need another email to do so. I have about 8 so it wasn’t a problem for me. DO you have another email you can use:
Hi,
I’d like to use this twitter thing to log! :) I created my twitter account as wyrillcosfood and I can post, but I think I’m being a dummy and missing a big step in the process of being able to get my totals and then post to my blog. Can you help? I have no ide what to do next.
Courtney – I can.. Unfortunately tweet eat post is having some technical difficulties AND I’m so swamped I can’t fix them right now. :(
I hope to update it soon. So sorry!!
I just found this,
and created my account, and downloaded tweetdeck…hopefully this is one move that will help me BUST this plateau!!
I LOVE LOVe this site!!
totally motivates me!!
thanks Roni!!!
Hi Roni,
When do you think the bug with TEP will be corrected?
Thanks!! :)
Anna – Good question. I haven’t had time to fix it since I’m planning the conference. I will put it on the top of my to do once that’s behind me. The problem is with Twitter, they changed the feed dates. It’s killing me!
I’ll get to it! Promise!

Hey Roni! In an effort to be more accountable, I’ve been tweeting my foods for a few weeks now. Only a few of my friends actually follow my food journal though. In a way that’s cool, because they’re the people who really are interested to see it; but at the same time, I’d feel more accountable if more people were checking up on me. Any suggestions on how to get more Twitter food journal followers?
by the way, my food journal is @LauraWVsFood
and THANKS for the awesome idea to do this, and for doing it yourself for so long. I look forward to reading your food tweets every day, and often get ideas for what I’d like to eat from them.
Laura, I’m glad you brought this up! I used to tag all my food journal tweets with #tep and a few others did as well, just so we can find each other. I’ll get myself back into the habit. Then we could do a simple search for each other like this… http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23tep
Cool! Sorry I didn’t read that up above… I got a bit mixed up with all the instructions (and as always, figured I knew it all and didn’t have to read them). I will definitely put #tep on all my food posts now, and will hope to find others doing so as well. Also, I realize now that I can look at who you follow (@Ronisfood), and follow those people as well.
Hey Roni,
I know you haven’t talked much about this recently, but for some reason I can’t generate my table. My twitter is erlfood. Any advice you have would be much appreciated!
