So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...]

Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...]

My dishwasher broke… AGAIN! Ugh. It's a mess. I've had a guy out 6 times this year for a 2 year old appliance. Utterly ridiculous! When you have no dishwasher you tend not to want to use a lot of dishes. Especially pots and pans. THAT was the motivation for [...]

Ok, so I went a wee bit nuts on the produce this weekend. Literally all I see when I open my fridge is vegetables. Don't get me wrong, that's a GOOD thing, BUT I'm worried about some of it rotting before I get a chance to eat it. *Cue vegetable soup* Soup is a [...]

I've been trying to post this for days! Weeks, actually! The first time I made this it was simply to use up some Portobello Mushrooms I had in the fridge. Little did I know BOTH husband and child would go gaga over it. Of course Little Guy didn't eat the mushrooms themselves, but he loved [...]

There are actually 2 ideas here, each can be done alone, of course, but I wanted to share how I used a bit of Mom's garden surplus. First up… Fresh from the garden tomato sauce! This is the first time I've made my own homemade sauce from tomatoes, and I couldn't have been happier with [...]

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 [...]

A few weeks ago the husband and I went to Chili's for lunch and I ordered the Chicken Enchilada soup. It was DIVINE! Just complete cheesy goodness with chunks of chicken and veggies and a delicious mild flavor. I never had a soup like it before. I immediately thought of ways I could duplicate it. [...]

This post isn't as much a recipe as an idea. Actually I consider all my "recipes" just ideas. I rarely make the same thing twice and if I do it's never the same exact way becuase I'm a reactor. No, I'm not going to explode at at moment, although I do feel like I am [...]

Originally posted Feb 12, 2008 republishing for the 2011 Sweet n' Healthy Blogger Recipe Contest Click here to check it out! I don’t know WHAT came over me tonight. I just wanted something different and apparently, I’m a little obsessed with ‘S’s. ;~P This morning I pulled out some tilapia fillets to make Crispy Baked [...]

Let's start with a confession, as I normally do. I never make Portabello burgers. Actually, I RARELY even buy Portabello mushrooms. They are just one of those things that won't fly with husband or child so I don't bother. But when I saw them at the store this weekend, I couldn't resist. I'm home for [...]

I may be married to the only man in America who doesn't like beef stew. Seriously, you will have to let me know because I can't imagine NOT liking only one of the most amazing comfort foods ever! My mom always made it with potatoes, carrots and beef. The sauce was thick and we'd dish [...]

A new way to eat cabbage! I'm ecstatic! Did I just say that? I did. What can I say? I love cabbage! I never bought a head unless I was making stuffed cabbage which was very rare. Then I started getting small heads in my farm share and I made my first cabbage salad. I [...]

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 [...]

This idea hit me on my home from the gym today. I was pondering what I would make for lunch and then I remembered I had these two tiny acorn squash from the farm that I had no idea what I was going to do with. Just look how stinkin' cute these are or should [...]

Weight Watchers has a 0 point soup and this is sort of my starting point version. I like a tomato base especially with cabbage and I think you can use any kind of vegetable you like. There's no wrong way to make this soup. Honestly, there is nothing to it yet I can't stop [...]

I woke up with a hankering for a diner style breakfast this morning. I just don't think I've been eating enough breakfast recently which makes me starving by early afternoon. Then I end up picking my way until dinner and snaking all night until I go to bed. I don't like this pattern. It leads [...]

I'm not sure if this is actually how you make tomato soup as I've never made tomato soup that didn't require a can opener and a red and white can. Regardless, this came out super tasty so why not share. Saturday I was staring at a plethora of tomatoes on my counter. Some on their [...]

You may not know this about me but I am a turkey burger fanatic. There's nothing wrong with a traditional burger but I like using ground turkey as a starter for some more fun ideas. So far I've come up with... Southwestern Turkey Burgers Grilled Honey Mustard Turkey Oat Burgers [...]

WOW I can't believe I received no complaints about dinner tonight. Not a single one! And we even ate bulgur and green beans. ;) Two ingredients that get mixed reactions in my household. I made something similar to my quick Sausage and Pepper idea but used bulgur instead of pasta and added green beans to [...]

This idea just popped into my head when I started thinking about what to make for dinner. I gotta be honest, I haven't gone grocery shopping since coming home from the beach. I just haven't been in the mood and I decided to use what I had on hand until my trip to the CSA [...]

I'm so glad I had leftovers!! I used the London Broil from yesterday, a green bell pepper and some onion to make the most delicious wrap! It worked out great as I had friend over for lunch today. The 6oz was perfect to make two loaded cheesesteaks. I decided to use a wrap to make [...]

Sorry for my absence. I was living it up in NYC at BlogHer! Of course what does the husband want to have for dinner my first day back? Pizza. ugh. My solution... Order a small to minimize leftovers and make a simple salad on the side. Genius right?!? Sorry.. patting myself on the back for [...]

I made this last week as a complete experiment. I thought it came out alright but not great. Until... I ate it cold! Then I feel in love! The sweet couscous with the bite of cilantro, fresh summer squash and creamy feta? YUM! The husband wasn't game but I had a friend come over [...]

Oh My! I can not believe how many amazing ideas I'm getting from the The First Fabulous Friday Feta Giveaway! Just reading through them is SO inspiring! I combined a few of the comments to make a light tasty salad this morning. Coming off a weekend of insane fast food indulging this was the perfect [...]
