Nutritious Noms from an Active Mom
I fear posting anything I cook as a specific-style dish, like “Maryland Crab Soup.” Have you seen the way people react when someone tries to get creative with food? For Pete’s Sake people, there’s more than one way to cook something, and I’d argue there really isn’t a “right” way. Did you cook it? Did you like…
The kids have a snow day here in Maryland, so I asked the 7-Year-Old if he wanted a special snow-day breakfast. His response? Snowflake Pancakes. Me: You mean a pancake shaped like a snowflake? Him: Yes! You could drizzle the batter and make a snowflake. Me: Ok, I’ll try! That’s a fun challenge. Him: While you do that…
This Ground Turkey and Butternut Squash Chili recipe and post were originally posted May 2012. Thanks to Mindy for requesting! Since canceling my CSA membership I’ve been trying to visit a local farm store for every other grocery shopping trip. This way I’m buying a bit more locally while reducing the amount of processed food in…
Recipe originally posted May 2012. Thanks to Natalie for requesting! We got a head of Bok Choy from our CSA and besides eating it raw (it’s so crunchy and great with hummus) I decided to whip up a quick stir fry with things The Boys would eat without complaint, like sausage. It worked, like a charm!…
It’s meal prep season. I’m trying so hard to get myself back on some kind of routine. There’s no doubt I feel better when I take the time to meal plan and prep for the week. So I’m using the GreenLiteBites FB group as my meal planning accountability “partner,” and I spent the weekend prepping…
I’m reposting this recipe as a celebration! Last month my hard drive crashed, and I lost everything. Every recipe I posted on the old GreenLiteBites over the course of 10 years. Then I took a shot and asked my old server admin if he happen to have any old backups and he did!! Now I…
Happy New Year! I had such high hopes for posting more over the holiday but time just got away from me. I was having too much fun just hanging out with the family. We spent so much time together. It was fantastic! And super low key. This was the first year we didn’t have to…
My diet over the last few days has been less than stellar. Between The Husband’s killer Amaretto Sours and my friend’s awesome Christmas cookies, I’m pretty sure my body is in a state of shock. I haven’t consumed this many carbohydrates in months, if not years! That said, I woke up motivated this morning to…
Happy five-days-before-Christmas! That sounds obnoxious. I know. I’m sorry, but I’m finally in a festive mood. My final grades are in, I’m hosting our 6th Annual Ugly Sweater/The Husband’s 43rd Birthday party tomorrow, I don’t have to travel this year for Christmas (first time in my adult life), and I’m planning three enormous family meals over…
Hey guys! I’m so happy to be back. I’m sharing this recipe from my old iMac which recently experienced a complete hard drive failure or should I say, I recently experienced complete devastation, losing nearly four years of data! Thankfully, I was able to salvage most of my photos, but I lost all backups of my…
