Adventures in Healthy Eating
Originally posted in 2010. I’m so glad I noticed the aging mango on the counter this morning. It’s what inspired this dish. I was hungry, and I thought it would be fun to build a meal around the mango. So I dug through the pantry and fridge. First, I remembered I still had some fresh…
When I started GreenLiteBites back in — omg, I can’t believe I’m about to say this — 2007, I averaged about a video a week. YouTube was NOT what it is today. My videos were raw and barely edited. Some included the kids as we tried new vegetables or cooked together. Some were just ideas…

I had the best low-key Memorial weekend ever! We kicked it off with the Memorial Day Murph on Saturday. Sunday, I made my 3-Bean Salad for a friend’s BBQ. And Monday we stayed in and grilled at home. Mom brought over a fabulous bone-in pork roast (so mad I didn’t snap a pic of that…
Originally posted July 2010. There’s just something about the feta, spinach roasted pepper combination that I’m enjoying. It’s a trifecta of flavor with the fresh spinach, sweet pepper, and salty, creamy cheese. Tonight I put is all on/in a burger. Just perfect on a hot summer day and boy is it HOT! We are breaking…
Last week I visited my local GNC justs to peruse. I’m becoming a total dork about protein products, and I like to read all the labels to see what they have in them and such. The women behind the counter saw me pick up and read just about everything in the store, so she finally…
I’m posting thing recipe specifically for my Great Aunt Helen who, at Easter, was a little hesitant to try my 3-Bean Salad, but after she did she asked for the recipe! It’s stupid simple and tasty, using mostly items you probably have in your pantry right now… It’s also a great, easy addition to any…
Originally posted October 2012. Last week at the farm stand I was shocked to find some nice-sized zucchini. I thought they were out of season, but with the warmer weather, some plants are still producing. I happened to have an extra 4oz of ground turkey hanging around, and I decided to use it, a small…
Originally posted October 2014. I have discovered something at my local grocery store I didn’t even know existed — frozen collard greens! Really?! I had no idea. I immediately thought what a great way to mix up my green intake especially in the winter when I tend to decrease salad consumption and fresh produce. So…
Originally posted January 2011 Today called for chili, but I had zippy time, nothing defrosted and no desire to chop anything. So I hit the pantry. Keeping cans of beans in stock is a must for me. I also have bags of dry beans but to be honest, I rarely plan anything that far in…
