Seriously, the scale dropped almost 5 pounds overnight! You would think it wasn’t possible but it is. That’s why I get so frustrated when people are upset after a weekly weigh-in and they see a gain or even a small loss. I know it can be disappointing but if you only weigh yourself once a week and happen to have a salty meal the night before, the scale can be WAY off.
I’m cutting it short tonight (again). I spent the last few hours rebuilding the good old food photos section. I’ve been getting a few requests and I wanted it back up.
I did forget to tell you I never officially weighed in yesterday. I thought the family hike was more important. Today I could have gotten off my butt and gone but I was just too lazy. I think I may hold off until Wed so I can see my favorite leader.
I’ll close with my oath to the Barbie Brigade. Thanks to swizzlepop for my prefect Barbie representation. Seriously, this is what I look like everyday. That’s right I’m the geek in my kitchen on the laptop typing up what I just made for dinner. If you have NO IDEA what I’m talking about check out the Original Barbie. Our “little community” is getting SO BIG (and super supportive).

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
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. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

Roni,
I was looking for a link to contact you but couldn’t find it. I just wanted to pass along this link to the latest hungry girl recipe for fried cheese sticks. http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1156 .I remember how much you like cheese. They are actually baked. I made them last night and they were yummy. You probably have what you need on hand to whip them up. If you try them out and like them(which I think you will)would you post a picture? I’d love to see how they turn out. Mine were a little more melted than the HG pic but still yummy!
Take Care!
Michelle
Hey Roni,
Just wanted to let you know that your picture page (with the food) looks beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time to put them back up – I know losing all that information has been so hard – you are doing a fabulous job (more than ever)!
Thank you,
Justine
Oh my goodness, looking at your photo page just made me extremely hungry and inspired to cook!
Actually, I was planning on making the Creamy Apple Pork this week. I got a Crockpot for my bridal shower and bought a pork roast last week. But I see it hasn’t been recovered yet :(
Ah well. Do know all your hard work really is inspiring. I enjoy coming to your page everyday and I have an RSS feed on my iGoogle so I can ‘check up’ often.
Thanks,
Holly
holly – I got it!

Roni, I knew as soon as I saw the Barbie’s Swizzlepop came up with for you, they were perfect! Glad you liked them :) And congrats on the loss- 5 lbs WOW!
Hi Roni-
I wanted to share a tool I have been using for the past month called the “google 15″. It shows you your moving average- so you dont think you really did gain 4 pounds in one day.
My only complaint is that the graph only tracks for 2 weeks. This helps so much, especially when we struggle for small losses or are trying to maintain.
I hope this helps you as much as your site has helped me :)
Roni,
You’re my hero!!
I’ll let you know how it turns out!
-Holly
Roni,
The creamy apple pork came out great! My fiance and I had it over some Trader Joe’s whole wheat pasta, and it was delicious!
Thanks again for your quick response, I really can’t tell you how much of an inspiration you have been, as my fiance and I enter our 5th month on WW (I’ve lost 25, he’s lost 38!).
Thanks!
-Holly
I’m so glad you liked it!
CONGRATS ON THE LOSS!!
Why is it that men ALWAYS lose more?!? ;~)
