Have you seen it? If not, I highly recommend renting it. It’s a feel good movie with some great laughs. The story follows a dysfunctional family as they take there daughter to compete in the Little Miss Sunshine contest. I’m watching it right now with tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard.
While watching the movie I’m enjoying my newest guilt-free pleasure, ‘Who Needs Ice Cream’ Banana Split! This is after a fabulous Y workout completing my second weight training circuit this week. Why didn’t anyone tell me how good you feel when you work out? If I knew this, I would have been exercising all along! Seriously, for those on the fence about working out, try it for a few days in a row! I feel fantastic. I’ve gone to workout every day this week. Now we’ll see if I can keep this up. I’m not going to lie, I’ve fallen off the workout routine wagon before. I never joined a gym though so I’m hoping that’s the difference for me this time. I’m also thinking of creating a workout progress page where I track my routines. Why not? It worked for my weight, right? I truly believe staying true to the journal (whether online or not) makes a huge difference in your success.

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 [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

I ::heart:: Little Miss Sunshine!! I was lucky enough to see a preview with the directors and I have never been to a movie where the whole audience was crying and laughing and giggling and we all clapped FOUR times during the movie. The directors are really cool (husband and wife team) and I recommend it to everyone too. I even have a bright yellow tee shirt that says “everyone pretend to be normal” LOL! AJ
I’m so glad you are loving the gym! I’ve noticed a huge positive shift in my moods since starting training…..I feel all sad now on days when I don’t get to exercise. ;)
Love love LOVE Little Miss Sunshine, too. I think I’ve forced everyone I know to watch it with me. So much fun!
Sound like you’re doing great… looks like the scale was kind today too!!!
Loved Little Miss Sunshine!!!
Too funny. Last night at about 9 o’clock I was watching Little Miss Sunshine and sharing a version of your “Who needs Ice Cream Banana Split” with the BF!! BTW, we both LOVED it. I had a can of FF Reddi Whip I topped it with as well, mmm!
You are doing a fantastic job with the gym, isn’t it such a great feeling!
the results of the workout is really amazing.
I haven’t seen it yet but have heard great things about it. I may need to add it to my netflix que.
I know what you mean about working out. Unfortunately for me I need A LOT of motivation to get started and then to stick to it for a few days.
I’d love to see a progress page, maybe that would help not only you, but to inspire those of us who are tettering abotu starting.
I am with Swizzle – I just have the hardest time getting motivated….I can’t ever find anything I like either……the elliptical machine almost kills me – a lot of it is the fact that I want to be fit when I first start…..it makes me angry at myself when I am whipped after 15 minutes! You gotta do the progress page – I need the momentum!
Congrats on the workout progess. I can’t wait to try the new dessert.
I wasn’t a big fan of Little Miss Sunshine. I found it kind of depressing. Different strokes for different folks.
I love the movie too…It is an instant classic! I love the talent and she is sooo sweet…Speaking of sweet the ‘Who Needs Ice Cream’ Banana Split! is wonderful. The b-friend and I split one…you were right more than enough for two. He and I both loved it. He does not like foods that are too sweet, but this was just right. Yummy.
I have it set to record on the DVR tonight! Can’t wait to watch it :)
Umm, I think I told you lots of times.
: )
