First Ever GreenLiteBites Live!
Posted in: Site News, Video Posts | 4 Comments
Join me (and the kids) tonight as I attempt, yes ATTEMPT, cooking dinner live on camera. On the menu will be some kind of chicken rice concoction. I’m purposely winging it to show you it’s possible to make dinner, in a pinch, while entertaining kids, from freezer to plate in about 1/2 hour. This is my mission. :)

Pepperoni Pizza Rice
Posted in: 6 WWP, 7 WWPP, Lunch Ideas, Pizza Ideas, Side Dish Ideas | 4 Comments
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza.
I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I’ve used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off limits when it comes to me and pizza. Not even rice.

The Pineapple Bun
Posted in: 6 WWP, 6 WWPP, Dinner Ideas, Grill Ideas | 16 Comments
This isn’t a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can’t believe how good it was!
I’ve never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn’t occur to you to cook it. Why mess with a good thing?
Well, I was wrong.

The 2 Minute Breakfast – Mug Egg Video
Posted in: 5 WWP, 5 WWPP, Breakfast Ideas, Video Posts | 10 Comments
I recorded this after my Saturday morning workout and before my house was bombarded with family members for Easter.
I put the quick instructions below the video and provided nutritional information for the way I prepared them. Mug eggs won’t replace my morning omelet but when in you’re in a hurry this is a great way to get in a healthy breakfast.

The Laughing Cow 7 Layer Mexican Wrap
Posted in: 7 WWP, 8 WWPP, Lunch Ideas, Sandwich Ideas, The Laughing Cow Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 8 Comments
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives?
Yea. That’s the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it’s suppose to be made. Although I don’t think I’m alone in this one. Every place I’ve ever seen the 7 layer dip it was a little different, but the concept is the same– Click here to continue reading The Laughing Cow 7 Layer Mexican Wrap >>>

Roni’s Beef Stew, Yes, BEEF Stew
Posted in: 11 WWPP, 9 WWP, Crockpot Ideas, Dinner Ideas, Soup/Stew Ideas, Toddler Approved | 13 Comments
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there’s a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home.
I don’t have a beef with beef (omg The Husband is wearing off on me in the pun department) it’s just that I always considered poultry the healthier choice in the meat department. Click here to continue reading Roni’s Beef Stew, Yes, BEEF Stew >>>

Green Orange Mango Smoothie

I’m a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack.
Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one of them.

The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it’s much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why?
Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I’m not!
I’m here to share quite possibly the most amazing batch of roasted vegetables I ever made. I’m serious! it was THAT good! Click here to continue reading A Roasted Vegetable Feast! >>>

FAILED: Hawaiian Turkey Burgers
Posted in: FAILED | 15 Comments
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better.
I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I should have added an egg white. It would have helped to hold them together but even without the falling apart issue, they needed something else in the flavor department. Maybe ginger, teriyaki sauce or even just some onion.

Tilapia and Tomato Packets with Couscous
Posted in: 6 WWP, 8 WWPP, Dinner Ideas, Grill Ideas | 10 Comments
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it… UNSOLICITED!
Here’s the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn’t going to be enough for us so I pulled out a frozen bag of bay scallops for the kids and decided to have fun with the fish for us.
