Ok, I've been trying to get this post up for days but I just haven't had the brain power. Blame the baby. He's still demanding to be fed every two hours. ;) I kid but seriously, I'm sorry for the lack of posts. Please expect the frequency of ideas to be a little weak for at [...]

I'm not claiming this idea to be "healthy" so please, all crazy health nuts need not comment. The idea here is to have a little fun with the kids, celebrate a holiday by making something green (without taking all day or making a huge mess), and possibly adding a few extra vitamins into the [...]

I made this bread on a total whim this morning. I was in the midst of cleaning and organizing the house (WAY overdo) and these two overripe bananas were just starring at me. Asking, no, BEGGING, to be made into bread. I could have gone with my old 100% Whole Wheat Banana Muffins but I [...]

What's a pancake waffle you ask? Well it's my answer to not really knowing the difference between waffle and pancakes. I *THINK* waffles generally contain a bit more fat and sugar to crisp up more but I'm not sure. Normally I just use pancake batter in the waffle iron leaving them in long enough to [...]

WAAAAY back when, I posted Apple Pie Oatmeal. The idea pre-dates GreenLiteBites as it was originally posted on Roni's Weigh (which at the time was Weight Watchen--Holy crap I've been blogging for awhile!) Anyway, I had a craving for the original Apple Pie Oatmeal but since I no longer buy the flavored packets of oatmeal [...]

I love being a blogger. People just send you great ideas! This one came from Krista S. She sent a muffin recipe she found online and adapated. I, of course, changed it slightly to use what I had on hand and make the toddler happy. He declared "I don't like raisins in my [...]

I will not dare say I know the difference between a bread, a cake, a muffin, or even a pie for that matter. All I do know is sometimes I crave a "baked good". At least I did today. When I was little, my grandmother would make this yummy banana bread/cake (whatever) in a [...]

I don't know WHAT came over me last night. It was 10PM and I "wanted something". So I hit the kitchen with an empty stomach and some inspiration from these pumpkin cookies. I fear calling mine cookies as they really aren't. I don't like to sugarcoat what I make (literally and figuratively :~P) so I'll simply [...]

I finally did it! I've been kicking around zucchini bread ideas for some time and after a few experiments I'm ready to post. The idea is a modified version of a recipe my mom uses from an old cookbook. It intrigued me with it's use of crushed pineapple as a sweetener. Although the original recipe [...]

Yesterday I took out some boneless pork chops out for dinner and I had NO idea what to do with them. It was beautiful outside, so I decided on grilling but I didn’t want to do plain old boring BBQ sauce. What can I say, I’m an experimenter! So I thought I’d [...]

Update: Click here to check out my updated Homemade Apple Pie Oatmeal video post Those that read my weight loss blog may already know this is an older idea. I just never photographed it before. I really need to thank the toddler for introducing me to oatmeal. Honestly, I never ate [...]

I’m traveling for Thanksgiving but I just had to make SOMETHING before I left. I’ve been experimenting with pumpkin muffins and thought they’d make a good breakfast treat for Thanksgiving morning. These came out really moist with just the right sweetness. I sprinkled the tops with a bit [...]
