“I CAN NOT BE-LIEVE IT!”
Said like my favorite Little Einstein character, Quincy. Can you tell I have a toddler?
In all seriousness, I really cannot believe it. I hopped on the scale for the daily morning reading fully expecting it to be at least 5 pounds up but knowing I didn’t actually gain 5 pounds in a weekend. I was bracing myself for the water weight and such. To my surprise it was only up 1/2 pound!?!? This was utterly shocking mostly because I know my body pretty well. Weighing in daily for 2 years will do that to you. I have literally “gained” 5 pounds overnight on more then one occasion, especially after a weekend of brownies, fried foods, tons of cheese and just overall JUNK!
Now I’m bracing myself for tomorrow almost like there’s just a delay or something. LOL I know it’s not true but I feel like I have to somehow pay for me weekend of over indulgences.
All that being said maybe there is something to this working out thing. Since starting to seriously workout about 3 months ago, I’ve noticed my indiscretions don’t matter as much. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying I can go nuts and eat anything I want but I am surely noticing more “wiggle room” in the diet. Why didn’t ANYONE TELL ME THIS! I would have started a lot earlier. ;~)
Let’s see. I had other things I wanted to tell you but now, of course, I’m exhausted and my brain is failing me. I hate Mondays! Anyway, I am WAY behind on email and comments. Bear with me, I’ll catch up this weekend. I’ve also been working on my new food blog. I honestly can’t remember if I told you about it or not. If not, here’s the deal. I’m working on a new food only blog where I can post my recipes and food related posts. I never anticipated having as many recipe ideas as I do and I’m finding older recipes are hard to access. I really want to archive them in an easy to access way.
Needless to say I’m a busy bee!

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 [...]

You crack me up. We LOVE Quincy in our home too! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
LOL! When I read the title of your post in my email…I actually ‘said it in my best “Quincy” voice!! Speaking of…you’ll never guess what’s coming on RIGHT NOW! That’s kinda weird…everyone to rocket!!
I too just had to input I can totally hear the exact tone of the title of your post…thanks for the smile on my face……
Its always great to have some of those surprises…By the way just wanted to say thanks for having a page out like this. It is actually inspired me to do one of my own. It really does help writing it out and its cheaper than therapy :)

I Love those surprises at the scale. WTG!
Dear, you really make my day :-)
For those who are horizontally challenged, it is Great News to read the title of your post.
Over the years, I did have some rare experiences like yours. It is what we called technical corrections like in stocks trading. It could be just one-off as well.
A lot of people prefer the natural approach to weight loss. Perhaps, it is a good approach for you too.
You’re doing something right :)! A food blog would be awesome!
I’m so out of the loop when it comes to the toddler cartoons. My son loved Franklin when he was little and my daughter was a huge Mary-Kate and Ashley fan. She is now into the Jonas Brothers and anything on Disney Channel. I’m old
chalk one up for the ever amazing metabolism! it pays to get back on track!!
I just weighed in and went the WRONG way! You just reminded me how great it feels to go the RIGHT WAY!
MUST GET BACK ON TRACK!
