I'm taking a slight detour from my normal food musings to share a quick tip for fellow nursing moms. I already had a video outlining my approach to store breast milk but it was long and didn't really need to be. So Little Bean and I set up the camera and I ran through the [...]

I'm lucky. Both husband and child LOVE asparagus. It took years to convince the husband but the Little Guy has always been fan, eating them like French fries when he was just "the toddler." Him and I still use our fingers when having them with dinner. :) Our favorite way to eat asparagus is just simply [...]

I may be married to the only man in America who doesn't like beef stew. Seriously, you will have to let me know because I can't imagine NOT liking only one of the most amazing comfort foods ever! My mom always made it with potatoes, carrots and beef. The sauce was thick and we'd dish [...]

You guys know me by now. I share my successes AND failures. Anyone remember this one? It still makes me laugh. Anyway, today I attempted to make Roasted Butternut Squash Muffins. I've been craving muffins something fierce plus it's been awhile since I had some alone time with my kitchen. What can I say, [...]

Little Guy and I created a new tradition tonight! A simple pumpkin cake using a store bought cake mix, canned pumpkin and a standard ice cream cone. We got the idea after seeing this. I'll put the directions below the video. For those who've watched our prior video... Little Guy brings back the tree in his [...]

Oh boy did I have fun in the kitchen today! I had a mission to experiment and that's exactly what I did. The result was a light yummy summer meal using lots of produce I got from the farm. I LOVED it. Then again I made it. Not sure what everyone else will think but [...]

I have been tasked with bringing a crockpot mini-meal to my friends bridal shower next week. One problem... I never made a crockpot mini-meal! And I can't just follow a standard recipe. You should know me by now. ;) So I decided to use my unsuspecting extended family over Easter weekend as guinea pigs and I [...]

I've made 3 variations of this idea so far but I will craft a specific recipe with true nutritional information purely for the fact that it's fast becoming a husband favorite. Now that's pretty rare! Even though the child is not a fan of mushrooms or onions he likes this meal. Tonight I ACTUALLY got [...]

This isn't a traditional GreenLiteBite's recipe post. I'm just sharing what I made for dinner tonight in hopes it will inspire you to 1.) Seek out new and fun produce and 2.) Try new flavorful spice combinations. Let's start with the Moroccan Spices. Earlier today I saw a tweet from Andrea of Andrea's [...]

This recipe isn't polished as I totally butchered the preparation BUT it was SO tasty I had to share the flavor combination. I'll make it again with more detail and repost but I thought this may give you some ideas. Of course you can go chicken instead of pricey scallops, they just happen to be [...]

This is one of those "let-me-tell-ya-what-I-made-for-dinner-last-night" type of ideas. I happened to go grocery shopping and thin sliced chicken breast was on sale. I was planning on making chicken legs already so I picked up a package to experiment with on the side. I'm not the biggest fan of legs so this was a bonus [...]

Update: I posted the official recipe with a video, click here to check it out! Remember on my about page how I mentioned sometimes I just cook for me. Well, this is one of those times. Without having to please the husband or the toddler I hit the ground running with leftovers I found in the [...]

I almost didn't post this because it was one of those quick things I just threw together in shear desperation and even though I jotted down the directions I just thought it wasn't polished enough to share. Then I mentioned it to my Mother-in-law this weekend. She said it sounded good. So I reconsidered. I [...]
