Nonstop eating from 5-10pm
And don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say non-stop. Even the husband noticed and asked what was wrong. I have been totally stress eating tonight. I have a lot going on at work, at home and I just feel off. On top of all that, I have to travel this weekend for a wedding. Actually, I’m IN the wedding along with the husband and the toddler! It’s going to be a fun weekend but stressful. As I get older and have more going on just being out of routine is stressful for me. Plus traveling with a 2 year old is an adventure in it’s self!
I’m going to do my best but I’ll be signing off until Sunday or Monday. Maybe I’ll come back and update my photos with one in the bridesmaid dress! Speaking of updates, I added October’s photos to the Food Photos section.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

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 am sure you will get through your plans for the weekend and still stay OP. You have done such a great job all this time and I am very impressed. I am in the same way as you lately. I have been stress eating and since the stress is not going away for at least most of this month, I better get a handle on it now before it destroys my achievements and accomplishments. Good luck and enjoy your the wedding.

Hey Roni- I think it must have been something in the air last night! We were packing (moving this weekend) and even though we stopped to have dinner, I ate again like an hour later…and I had a snack right after work (around 5:30!) I’m usually more disciplined but I just keep munching and munching! Good luck this weekend- I want pictures in the bridesmaid dress!!
Hi Roni – I found your blog and have been reading it daily – you are an inspiration and I love your enthusiasm and creative ideas. I want to share with you that in 2003 – I worked hard and lost about 40 lbs and got to “lifetime”….but then as time went on something happened…”life happened” – normal stress, etc. and my bad habits took over again. I would make a “Plan Of Attack” for not letting bad habits like stress eating or not exercising or overeating period take over…Make a plan – don’t let what happened to me happen to you. I am now back to losing – 26 lbs gone, and 33 to go. BE STRONG, BE SMART, TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!!! I think it’s all about balance…and finding other ways to deal with stress :) You know that. Have a wonderful weekend.

As a fellow stress eater and mother of a two year old, I can totally understand your entire post. I totally get what you mean about the wedding – yes, it’s fun but OMG, stressful as hell, especially with the kid. Do you ever read http://sundrymourning.com Linda is a great writer and she just did a really funny post about taking her son (a little over two) to her husband’s work event. Very funny and insightful.
You’ll be fine at the wedding and if you eat a little more than usually, you will just step it up when you get back to “real life.” I, too, am a complete “routine” person. Whenever I am out of it, things begin going haywire! Good luck and have a blast.
I’m sorry – the blog address I just suggested is actually

Its not easy to get rid of that habit, its nasty
Ugh! Do I know how you feel. I am doing the non-stop munching today. I keep telling myself to stop and I just keep eating. I am going for a walk so hopefully, I can get it out of my system. I am so over points for the day already but I will have a healthy dinner and tomorrow will be better.
I went through a weird time with eating and nutrition because I was addicted to alcohol. I followed steps of nutrition including protein in the morning and afternoon and healthy carbs at night that had a low glycemic index. A good article here: http://www.myaddiction.com/education/articles/nutrition.html
Any thoughts on this?
Anonymous – great article. Thanks
