I had such high hopes for this video. I set up a secondary camera to shoot the stove top and planned to edit and splice the two clips together. Exciting right?! <- ok so I'm a geek. I imported the video only to find that it stopped recording right after I put the eggs [...]

We pulled out the camera for a good old fashioned produce pick video. Up this week: Parsnips! This is another one of those vegetables that are just not on my radar for some reason. I never remember having them growing up, and honestly I don't think I ever tried one. I didn't know what I [...]

1 cup of cubed butternut squash has a mere 63 calories, no fat, 3g of fiber and 1g of protein. I'll admit, I first started eating it because it was a low calorie substitute for potatoes, then... I fell in love. The golden flesh of the butternut is sweet and nutty. It can be roasted, [...]

My new breakfast obsession! I tend to go through spells. Right now I could easily eat this every day. Nutritional Information is below the video... Approx Nutritional Information per serving Servings Amt per Serving 1 entire recipe [...]

I owe this burst of breakfast video inspiration to Tiger. She was helping me defunk and in return I hope I've done the same for her. May I present, Breakfast Pizza… (written recipe below the video) Here's what I did... 1 tortilla (your favorite kind will work, I'm sure) 1 egg [...]

Can you say… CRA-AAVING! I wanted a baked good but I didn't wanted to bake. I know, such problems I have. This is why I have a stash of VitaMuffin Mixes on hand. They are quick, tasty, and compared to most mixes a bargain in the calorie/fat department. However, you know me by now. I [...]

I TRIED to do an old fashioned Produce Pick video, but with a grumpy baby and a 6 year old, I was very distracted. SO let me tell you about Jicama before you see our train wreck of a video. Jicama is root vegetable, resembling a large potato or turnip. It's crisp, refreshing, and slightly [...]

I'm finding my video groove again! I miss them so much! This one's a throw back. I simply invite you into our kitchen while making dinner with a fussy (off screen) baby and a crazy 6 year old. Oh and he's in his cheesy 6 year old glory. He was having fun and helping, but [...]

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 recorded this video for the Laughing Cow and wanted to share it here. The ideas is a simple--a festive snack using strawberries, blueberries and a Mini Babybel® Light. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Weekend! Disclosure: I've partnered with The Laughing Cow. Click here for more info and click here to see all [...]

I totally stole this idea from my friend Carrie who had the most beautiful rainbow fruit kabobs at her daughters birthday party. They were GORGEOUS and so FUN! I immediately imagined the Little Guy and I making them together. What a fun way to get your little one to have fun in the kitchen while learning [...]

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 really wanted to get one last video in before the Little Bean arrives. This one is pretty long and you don't have the 5 year old to entertain you. I cook from start to end with no editing and basically blab with you. I'm hoping to up my production value post baby, getting a [...]

Little Man and I had tons of fun trying Kiwi's yesterday. It's been awhile since publishing a Produce Pick but as I say in the video my intent is to inspire you to try something new! I tend to gravitate towards the same things over and over again, especially in the produce aisle because [...]

E. Foley from GeeksDreamGirl.com had some major issues making my recent idea, Pressed Portabella Sandwich with Roasted Peppers and Red Onion. So I decided to do a quick video showing my technique on the George Foreman. Click here for the full recipe for Pressed Portabella Sandwich with Roasted Peppers and Red Onion Click here for the [...]

I told you. Once we made our first Green Smoothie there would be others. This one was inspired by Mo in the comments. We actually recorded this on Friday but I had a TON of technical difficulty with the video. You'll have to excuse the abrupt stop at the end. It was all I could [...]

A few weeks ago Kim sent me this link from theKitchn, How To Make Creamy Ice Cream with Just One Ingredient! Being an ice cream fan I was immediately intrigued. So I did a little digging with google and discovered I was missing out on some crazy banana ice cream trend! Who would have thunk [...]

We've been severely slacking in video department here on GreenLiteBites. Blame the pregnancy and my new kitchen but I just haven't been able to find my video groove lately. We are going to try to get back to our once a week recording sessions in the new year. A few days ago, I saw this tweet [...]

...even though the Little Guy immediately thought so. I can not believe how fast he's being influenced to think vegetables = gross. I have no doubt that two years ago he would have not reacted the same way. Regardless, I shall not give up. As you'll see in the video, he's willing to try and [...]

Sorry we've been MIA... busy busy around these parts traveling for family. This morning before school we attempted to try a guava although we had NO idea what we were doing or what they are "suppose" to taste like. As you'll see in the video. We both though they were "sour sweet" but with the seeds [...]

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 [...]

Thought this question would be answered easier with a bit of show and tell. :) The pictures on your blog always turn out so great... what kind of camera do you have? Teneill Camera I use now ---> Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Camera I used to use --> Kodak [...]

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

This is my new favorite smoothie, especially after a run. It's quick, tasty and super nutritious! According to NutrtionData.com it's full of Fiber, Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Protein. Not a bad way to start your day or replenish after a fabulous workout! Oh! and the little guy loves the stuff! :) [...]

I came home from work with a mission to cook a healthy meal with the little guy. I had defrosted scallops, some minute rice, and fresh sugar snap peas. Add in some pantry items like lime juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Viola! A 20 minute meal. I will try to make [...]
