As you may know, I'm sharing adventures in baby food making over on Baby's First Year. So far I've done, sweet potato, peas, mango, and now one of my favorite things in the world, butternut squash. Since roasted butternut squash is definitely NOT "Baby Food" but pure yumminess, I thought I'd share this one [...]

Last night I wanted popcorn. A LOT of popcorn. A piddly 100 calorie bag just wasn't going to cut it. Instead, I took a large brown paper bag, poured in the kernels and popped it into the microwave. Two and half minutes later… viola! A HUGE bag of popcorn, way cheaper than anything you can [...]

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 [...]

A few weeks ago I received this email from Adrianna... On a blog called Simplifried she shares what she calls 'elastic' recipes - basically she explains the structure of a 'thing' (like a frittata) so that one can understand 'how' a recipe is made and then make endless variations. I'm not the best [...]

One of my goals here on GreenLiteBites is to inspire more people to cook at home. Plain and simple. I'm not going claim to be some hoity toity chef or a know it all cook, because I'm not. I'm also not an organic nut or spice snob. I never buy fresh nutmeg or fresh vanilla [...]

Short video this week. Just wanted to share a quick tip on how I'm storing fresh herbs I get from the farm.

You may or may not have noticed but we've been severely slacking in the video department. Life has just been too crazy. Once I'm full time blogging I'll get my weekly groove back. Anyway, this week we are sharing a little tip to save your aging produce. Inspired by Heather over on Leading the Weigh, [...]

A shortER video this week where I share my hard boiled egg system and technique. I really have become hard boil egg obsessed recently. :)

This weeks video was recorded completely impromptu tonight. Honestly, I totally decided to skip the gym and make brownies instead. How bad is that?!? I just felt out of it and you can tell! For example, I can't remember what a toothpick is AND I say it's Tuesday when it's really Wednesday. Just [...]

Yesterday I discovered prickly pears (aka Tuna Fruit) at the grocery store! I’m so glad we picked a couple up. The toddler and I had fun exploring this new healthy food together this morning. According to NutrionData.com prickly pears are a good source of Calcium and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, [...]

Hi Roni, Love your blog and GreenLiteBites. This is my 1st question to you ever but there are likely to be more! I'd like to cook brown rice more often but it just takes too long when I only want to do a quick dinner. Do you [...]

This week's video is a bit laid back. I use my George Foreman Grill (GFG) to create a quick lunch using a couple of tortillas, some cheese and veggies from the garden. Honestly, I made another one (which was just as good!) but none of the photos were ready for prime time. So I'm going [...]

For this weeks video, the title really says it all. You'll have to excuse my appearance, I ran earlier and have been doing errand after errand. I literally didn't have time for a shower! The two seasonings I use all the time and show in the video... Kernel Seasons White Cheddar Jolly Time [...]

Look at it, just look at it. What a disaster but it's my disaster and I love it! Here's the story... When I moved into my house about 6 years ago I decided I would TRY to grow a few plants in containers on the deck. I, by no means, have a green [...]

When I posted the Quick Quinoa & Turkey Taco Stew awhile back, I received a few questions about Taco Seasoning.  I normally never buy those little packets, you know, the ones with WAY to much salt in them, but when I made the stew I happen to have a packet lying [...]

Just a quick video this week, the toddler isn’t feeling too well and I wanted to get some fresh fruit in him. Although basic, this video is for all those scared to by a fresh pineapple. There is really nothing to it. Just a tip… When buying a pineapple it should feel heavy [...]

As requested, a demonstration of the Meat Storage - Frozen Flat tip. I love when I get a suggestion. It makes it so much easier! Of course, in addition to the meat storing, I babble on about a few other things as well. ;~P Posts mentioned in the video... Storing Breast Milk Meat [...]

Marcie asked about cutting sweet potato fries and I thought it was a great idea for a quick video! Sorry, no toddler this time around. Don’t worry he’ll be back! For my Curried Sweet Potato Fries Recipe click here.

As requested, my spaghetti squash preparation technique. It’s nothing spectacular but hopefully it will show you how easy it is to prepare. I know I was REALLY hesitant to try it, not knowing what to expect or how hard it would be to cook. I’m here to tell you 15 [...]

Alright, so I’m a HAM! I’m really liking the video posts thing. They are so much fun to do and I get a break from typing! This technique is a favorite of mine when I want a quick snack. I posted about it way back when on weight watchen but [...]

I’ve been toying with the idea of a video post for some time and today I took the leap. No Laughing! ;~P Use this technique to make Butternut Squash Fries! Disclaimer: By watching this video you agree that I am NOT responsible for any injuries you might incur using my butternut squash cutting [...]

I know there is a difference between stock and broth. I know there is probably a “correct” was of making it. I’ve seen boatloads of recipes and ideas online and I figured I’d share my own. I have to start by saying I did not cook thanksgiving dinner [...]

Update: Click here to see a video demonstration of this tip! It may sound odd, but this is something I came up with when breastfeeding. Bear with me, it may make more sense in a minute. While breastfeeding I would [...]
