I recorded this after my Saturday morning workout and before my house was bombarded with family members for Easter.
I put the quick instructions below the video and provided nutritional information for the way I prepared them. Mug eggs won’t replace my morning omelet but when in you’re in a hurry this is a great way to get in a healthy breakfast.
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 to be made. Although I don’t think I’m alone in this one. Every place I’ve ever seen the 7 layer dip it was a little different, but the concept is the same– Read the rest of this post
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 is wearing off on me in the pun department) it’s just that I always considered poultry the healthier choice in the meat department. Read the rest of this post
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 of them.
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 to share quite possibly the most amazing batch of roasted vegetables I ever made. I’m serious! it was THAT good! Read the rest of this post
*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 should have added an egg white. It would have helped to hold them together but even without the falling apart issue, they needed something else in the flavor department. Maybe ginger, teriyaki sauce or even just some onion.

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 so I pulled out a frozen bag of bay scallops for the kids and decided to have fun with the fish 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 really made it a complete meal.
