My 7-year-old is the same as I was, making faces, sticking his tongue out and looking at them in disgust.… Read the rest of this post »»

OK, hear me out — I know it’s not pumpkin season, but I just got back from a FABULOUS 5-day vacation in Vermont with The Husband. It was our 12th anniversary trip and we went completely kid-less. Can you say heaven?

Roasted Rutabaga, Who Knew?
No, really. Who knew?
I've never, ever eaten a rutabaga. I honestly had no idea what they were and really, their large, ugly, bulbous appearance didn't entice me in the least.
I mean, look at it. It's not very appetizing!
Note: That's a half. I totally forgot to snap it before I started cutting.
According [...]
Cabbage, Feta and Pear Salad
I've made this salad twice since creating and photographing it. I wanted to share it so badly I'm so mad it's taken me this long to get it up on the site! It's so tasty in that I-cant-believe-these-few-ingredients-go-so-good-together type of way.
I bought a head of purple cabbage, not knowing what I'd do with [...]
Using Leftovers: Cheesy Twice-Baked Potato
I've been wanting to post this idea for WEEKS! It's been so long I almost forgot about it which is not like me. Normally I'm a cook-and-post kind of blogger. I like to post while everything's still fresh in my brain because honestly, I'm getting forgetful in my old age.

Quick Apple-Walnut-Cheese Salad
I’m so sorry. I feel like I've been neglecting GreenLiteBites. I've been cooking and eating, I swear! I've even snapped a few shots of ideas that simply haven’t made it to the site yet.
My absence is partially do The 7-Year-Old’s Spring Break, which I've been blogging about on my travel blog. We've been doing something [...]

Grapefruit Quinoa
I’ve been a bad pantry stocker this past week. I just didn't have it in me to hit the grocery store on the weekend resulting in no milk, no eggs, and no bread.
Even my stash of fresh fruits and vegetables was reduced to a browning banana, a few aging leaves of spinach in [...]
