Oh. My. WORD! This was AMAZING! I don't know what posed me to make it. I just came home from a run. I wasn't really hungry but knew I should eat something. So I whipped this up. The flavors together are simply PERFECT. At least I think so. Dark chocolate! Banana! Almonds! I go gaga [...]

I don't know how to even start this post. This idea came out so good I'm speechless. Seriously speechless. I made an experimental breakfast but it could easily be dessert. It's that good. I'm not kidding! This is how it started... Then I remembered I had these in the freezer... Such a few simple ingredients and [...]

I'm not a baker. You'll be able to tell with this recipe and my lack of basic baking equipment like parchment paper and piping bags. Don't get me wrong I find baking fun but honestly, I'm a rebel in the kitchen. I don't follow recipes or recommended cooking techniques. I simply don't believe there is [...]

I miss baking. :( With my full time job I haven't had time experiment like I used to. So when the little guy asked to make muffins the other day I hit the pantry, used a mix and put my own spin on it to appease the "from scratch" gene my mom passed on. We [...]

I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL STRAWBERRY SEASON! Sorry, I'm a little excited. I whipped up this chocolate dipping sauce as an experiment for my waffles this morning and it came out better then I expected. It will be awesome as a dip for strawberries. Here's the story. . . The little guy and I decided [...]

Update 2: Homemade Almond Milk the Video! I made a shake after my workout tonight and I have no problem declaring it my favorite immediately. That is how GOOD it was. However, the toddler did not agree. His exact quote was "it's yucky." Wonder where he learned that word from. ;~) Let me start at the [...]

These muffins were inspired by this wonderful looking bread over on Recipe Girl. I saw the picture, read prunes and said aloud, "GENIUS!" The toddler and I made a couple of batches to get the sweetness right and we were pleased at this mornings results! In fact, we were so smitten there are only 2 [...]

Oh my WORD! I'm SO glad I made this even though I knew the husband and toddler would hate it. Have I mentioned the husband's unmanly trait of hating chili? Seriously I must be married to the only man in America who doesn't enjoy a bowl of chili. It's CHILI! Not only is he not [...]

A couple of months ago I saw a recipe for Chocolate Sweet Hearts in my Everyday Food Mag. It intrigued me and I immediately thought of a few ways to tweak it a bit for GreenLiteBites. I finally got a chance on this snowy Monday to give it a try. Well... I'm SO happy with [...]

I've been DYING to share this idea with you. It's my new favorite snack! :) Here's how I made the batch in the video. Remember, take the idea and run with it! :) 6 won ton wrappers 1/2 cup fat free ricotta cheese (124g) 1/4 - 1/2 tsp stevia powder [...]

It's the first weekend of the New Year and I wanted to make something fun and light in the kitchen. :) I love getting healthy stuff in the toddler most mornings and what can be more fun then chocolate pancakes! Actually, I can't lie. I was the one who wanted them. When I asked he [...]

I haven't been this excited about a recipe in a long time. I was a on mission to create a healthier cookie that ACTUALLY tasted good and I think I did it. I actually did it. To accomplish it I had to resort to using sugar and butter, two things I haven't used in a [...]

I just finished this and I'm in HEAVEN! It cold, creamy and chocolaty, my favorite combination. I have to thank my friend Laura who suggest I freeze my brown bananas. Normally I use them for pancakes or muffins but freezing them never occurred to me. So I peeled one, wrapped it in plastic wrap [...]

Alright, you guys are either going to think I'm crazy or a genius! ;~P This is one of those thing I may only like. I made it up yesterday being bored and stir crazy. I never realized how much I depend on the toddler to keep me going in the morning. This week without [...]

Have I told you I’m a smoothie fanatic? I love them and it’s an easy way to get fruit in the toddler when he’s “not in the mood” for breakfast. I can come up with a million different combinations. Unlike my other quick smoothie idea this one uses plain non fat [...]

These little gems are an old favorite of mine. I’ve experimented with this recipe a bunch of times (you’ll notice the many ‘or’s below) and loved each one. They come out like pizza; even the bad batches are good. ;~) The coolest thing about this recipe is it’s appeal to [...]
