Here’s the thing… I rarely eat Feta and I don’t think I’m alone here. I mean like it. I get it on my wraps at work all the time. I just never really thought about fun ways to use it at home.

Well, that’s all about to change! I have a fridge full of feta and at least a dozen ideas in my head. I honestly can NOT wait to get started tomorrow. I love the idea of having a goal for the next few weeks… it gets my creative juices pumping!

In addition to my recipe ideas I’ll be doing a giveaway every Friday! The giveaway will include ATHENOS Feta coupons a free month membership to Lifetime Fitness, and other goodies to be announced. I’ll have a picture of the prize pack this Friday for our first one.

Below are some more details about the campaign.

Oh! and keep an eye out for me on the ATHENOS Fan Page! They will be showcasing my ideas along with the other Spokesbloggers.

MAN! This is going to be fun! :) I’ll be back tomorrow with my first idea… take one guess what I’ll be tackling… I’ll give you a hint.. I’m addicted to it. ;)

Keep an eye on this page to see all my feta cheese ideas.

What is ATHENOS Feta?

ATHENOS Feta is a white, crumbly cheese made exclusively from pasteurized milk. It has a rich, tangy flavor that ranges in texture from soft to semi-dry and can be used on anything from salads to pizza and pasta dishes. ATHENOS Feta is available in both large chunk and crumbled varieties and 11 different flavors.

What does Make a Change for the Feta mean?

How did I become involved with ATHENOS Make a Change for the Feta and “Summer Salad Month” as a spokesblogger?

I partnered with ATHENOS Feta and became a Make a Change for the Feta spokesblogger because I believe in eating delicious food and trying new things are a part of a balanced lifestyle. It’s all about small changes, right? I hope to inspire you to try something new and possibly something a little lighter then your current cheese choice.

How does ATHENOS Feta compare nutritionally to other cheeses?

ATHENOS Feta naturally has one-third less fat and 30 percent fewer calories per serving than cheddar cheese. Plus, ATHENOS Feta offers 6 grams of protein per serving.

ATHENOS Feta has similar sodium content to other soft crumbly cheese (roughly 390mg). Because of its bold flavor, ATHENOS Feta can enhance the flavor of a dish in place of adding traditional table salt. It also can be used in smaller servings than the recommended serving size to add a touch of flavor to favorite dishes.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I have partnered with ATHENOS Feta to serve as one of ATHENOS Change for the Feta Bloggers. I am compensated for my time commitment to the program, which includes blogging about my cooking experiences with ATHENOS Feta. I have also been compensated for the food purchased for my Change for the Feta creations. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

I’m a little late with this. partly because I was in a state of shock to be on the front page of CNN.com and partly because it didn’t occur to me until know to say hello. See I do most of my chatty blog posts over on Roni’s Weigh and I try to stick with only food idea posts over here. But since 10,000 of you stopped by yesterday I thought it might be a good idea to break my own rule. :)

While you’re here feel free to poke around, I have over 2 years of food ideas and you can visually search the archives by clicking here.

I should reemphasis, I am not a chef. I am not a dietician. I am simply a working mom trying to feed her family healthy food.

Thanks for stopping by! I also have a few other sites it’s you’re interested…

• Roni’s Weigh
• BlogToLose
• SkinnyMinnyMedia
• FitBloggin’

I hate to ask a favor but please, PLEASE check out the video and if you feel so inclined leave a comment on their site (there’s an area under the video). Maybe I can get their attention if it’s viewed a lot?? Right? I figure it’s worth a shot! RIGHT? :~)

I tend to use Roni’s Weigh for personal news and stuff like this as I like to keep GreenLiteBites mostly about food. To me it’s my recipe archive. But I had to post this here for all my friends that may not read Roni’s Weigh.

ok, end shameless plug. :~P

What GLB recipes would you like to see in a book?

I’m thinking I’ll make it a reader’s choice type of thing. I’m not sure. Plus I’m having a hard time picking so I’d rather ask then make assumptions as to what recipes are book worthy.

So please, please, please comment away and give me your suggestions. I’d really appreciate it!

See you next week! (Although there may be a mid week surprise, you know I can’t miss a weekly video!) ;~P

Let me explain….

I have a created this site to have a separate printing style sheet. Which means if you try and print any recipe/post it will print cleanly with no images, ads or navigation.

So please, feel free to print away!

I didn’t even realize I won a Bloggy Award last month!!

The Review was very complimentary and I appreciate it so much! I really work hard on this site and honestly, I call it my second child :~P

Thanks for the recognition guys!

My goal was to have a better system to share and archive my food ideas. I spent a lot of time on the design (both the visual and information) Right now the navigation and categorization may be overkill but as I add recipes, it will make much more sense. I hope it serves us well.

Please peak around, let me know what you think and make suggestions.

I have and will be reposting some of my older ideas that you may be familiar with but have no fear, new ideas are on the way! Like my Thai Inspired Vegetable Soup and Simple Pumpkin Spice Mini-Loaves!

*let’s out long sigh* It’s feels really good to throw this out there. I really hope you like it.

Thanks for Understanding!
