Let me start this post off by saying I PROMISE not to turn GreenLiteBites into a burger blog. I've just been so obsessed with my grill and burgers are my go to fun food in the summer. That being said, I started thinking.. why do we always add flavor by adding things like cheese and [...]

I can't take full credit for this idea. Cindy sent me this in a wonderful email... On Taco night - ditch the shredded cheddar and instead stir in 2 wedges of the Queso Fresco & Chipotle Laughing Cow into the meat at the end of cooking.  It makes it creamy, moist, cheesy and DELICIOUS! [...]

You may have noticed some changes around here. Check out my edited All Recipes By Photo page, my new Weight Watchers page and changed layouts for the categories like our video posts. In honor of my recent housecleaning, I'm also adding a new section, Roni's Redos. This category will be specifically reserved for my healthy [...]

In the fall I could make a chili every weekend but unfortunately the husband isn't a fan. I know, crazy... right? I mean WHO doesn't like CHILI?!? Especially on a cool fall day! This drives me nuts as chili is the ultimate comfort food for me. I don't care if you make it with beef, [...]

This is a semi-homemade style Sloppy Joe recipe I whipped up for small party I was having today. I wasn't in the mood to do a complete from scratch but I can't possibly serve a meal without veggies (it's just not in my blood ;) so this was a quick compromise. To my surprise... [...]

I don't know what came over me this afternoon. I had a half pound of ground beef in the fridge, an empty stomach and a hankering to whip up something new. So I fired up the old interweb and saw this. Now I'm not going to claim I know anything about Moroccan food. [...]

I’m calling this an “idea” because the recipe needs some work. Then again, all my recipes are just ideas (and they probbaly all need some work). Do with them, as you will. This one was the product of leftover spaghetti squash and some fresh ground beef I was separating and storing from [...]

After a long chili day I wanted a warm soupy dinner. That doesn’t sound right, but I’m sure you know what I mean. A soup I had a few weeks back at a little local place inspired this dish. They had a stuffed pepper soup that was just simply amazing. It was [...]

Update:Watch me make this meal from beginning to end in 20 minutes on video! This is a staple in my house and one of the husband’s absolute favorites. Normally I make it with a can of French Onion Soup thickened a bit for the gravy but Friday I was all out. So I do [...]
