I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...]

If you didn't know, I was recently crowned Zucchini Queen. ;) Mom went away for a few weeks only to return to monstrous sized zucchini in her garden. I volunteered to take a few off her hands (along with some tomatoes and anything else she was willing to part with.) I have been falling short in [...]

I'm a total pesto newbie. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE pesto, but I just never make it. I always thought it had to be made a certain way, with pine nuts, tons of oil and fresh basil. Well, pine nuts are outrageously expensive, I don't like to go overboard on oil, and fresh basil [...]

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 [...]

It's been WAAAAY to long! I can't believe how much I've missed not only cooking but posting my ideas here on GreenLiteBites. I can't promise consistent recipes as we will be unpacking for awhile but I am making an effort to cook and will try out a few new ideas as I have time. LIke [...]

I can't believe I pulled it off!! A few weeks ago I saw this awesome post on Noble Pig with a recipe for Pasta Pie and I knew immediately had to make it. Of course I couldn't leave it alone, I HAD to give it my own spin. What can I say? it's a [...]

I whipped this up on my way out the door this morning. I wanted something quick, easy, and filling that would use the over ripening cherry tomatoes I was going to have to throw away. My mission was a success. I'm STILL satisfied and I ate this over 4 hours ago! I'm shocked! [...]

I was making the toddler's lunch when I realized I had a pint of cherry tomatoes that were getting a bit overripe. I don't know about you, but I can't eat cherry tomatoes once they get all "wrinkly". For some reason, they gross me out! So I decided to make a little evening snack. Boy [...]

As I said in my original "crusted" tilapia idea, I'm fascinated with breading things in anything other then traditional breadcrumbs. I just think it's fun to come up with new ideas for "bread-ings". Tonight, I went with our good old friend oatmeal and paired it with flax seeds. I've been reading all the great health [...]

This is another one that's going to make mom laugh. Besides onion that, as a child, I despised and now can't live without mushrooms were a close second for most hated veggie. Yet again my mom was right, they are GOOD! especially stuffed! (and in eggs. Yes, I actually had mushrooms twice today.) For some reason [...]

HOLY CRAP!! THE HUSBAND ATE CAULIFLOWER!!! Let me say that again, I’m having a hard time believing it myself. The HUSBAND ate CAULIFLOWER! Ok, my initial shock is over. Let me back up and tell you the story. Last week I saw this recipe in Eating Well. It’s sounded (and looked) so [...]

I came up with this breading idea awhile back. I have a weird fascination with breading things in other then traditional breadcrumbs. I’d rather use something whole grain or full of fiber like breakfast cereal! The first time I tried it I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was done perfectly, not [...]
