I hope you don’t mind but I’m bringing back the food finds. At first I thought I would post all food related stuff on my new food blog GreenLiteBites but that really has become more of a recipe blog then a product blog and I like it that way. So (not that you needed this big long explanation) I decided to continue to write reviews for low point products I find here. I realize I’m not the only one who does this type of thing and I don’t have a lot of man power but, honestly, I love grocery shopping, I love discovering new things and I love sharing. I hope that’s ok. ;~)
As for me… the MUCHIES HAVE SUBSIDED! Finally! However I totally didn’t bring enough food for my first day back at work. I didn’t have the munchies after lunch I was SARVING! I mean stomach growing hungry. And I had nothing left except a cookie from a co-worker and a handful candy. Not the best choice but I ate just enough to stop the stomach from growling. Then it was home for a nice dinner.
Sometimes you are in the zone and sometimes you just aren’t. If that would have happen to me a few days away I think I would have gone through a drive thru.
Tomorrow is all about the Dance Class! I CAN’T WAIT!
Until then.

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 [...]

I can’t wait to hear all about the dance class. Hubby and I have been toying with the idea and there is a great dance studuio in town that gives couples classes for just about any type of dance so I’m anxious to hear what you think about it.
I’m glad the product reviews are staying, I’m always looking for new products to try and your opinion has a lot of weight in my house :)
I am so envious…my husband is not a dancer..slow dancing not a problem…the only time he danced fast was at our wedding almost two years ago…have fun I look forward to reading about your class.
Hi Roni,
The 94% fat free popcorn you have on your food log for yesterday, you have listed 4 points, was this a typo? I thought it was 1 point. Just wondering. Thank you :)
Well guys I can’t wait to go!! As for the popcorn, not when you eat the whole big bag!
I made it a link to my popcorn post, I hope that helps…. http://weightwatchen.com/2007/02/popcorn-points-question-answered-i.html
You have never been more right about being in the zone. Last night, I was starving after work, but instead of pigging out on some crap foods, I just continued to be hungry until I finished fixing what I had planned for dinner. It’s not good to let myself get that hungry, but at no point did I think I should go grab a Snickers or something dumb like that!
Hooray for no more munchies Roni!
Hooray for slaying the munchie demon! Go you!
Me like product reviews. Food good. Mmmmmm.
Hey Roni,
Just wanted to say thanks for your site…it has given me the motivation to start this program..i bought the books on ebay…my boyfriend was even counting his points yesterday…i am only five days in to the program but only got interested after coming across your page. I tried to comment yesterday but for some reason it didn’t post…anyways I am 23 and looking to get rid of the “beer fat” from college…hope I can succeed!!! thanks for your support and webpage to give me the courage to do so!!
i love your food finds, i’ve tried many’a product after seeing them here… i had that spicy black bean dip tonight in my chicken quesadilla and it was fabulous! keep it up! :o)
I LOVE your food finds!!!
I can’t wait to hear about the dance class. Last night I did a ballroom dance class and tonight I did a Zumba class! Loved them both!
im so glad i found your blog!!! i feel like it is going to be great inspiration for me. you look great! i love that you post your daily points and food ideas!!!
i just started WW for what will be the last time. i was on it before and lost 45lbs, then 22 lbs, but i didnt make the “lifestyle” change so over time it all came back. now im on it to make major changes FOR LIFE! wish me luck :)
Ok,I know 100 Calorie snacks are “old news” but I tried one tonight that was a great find – especially when everyone in the office is receiving their Girl Scout Cookies they ordered. Keebler 100 Calorie bags of “Grasshopper” cookies – taste JUST LIKE (texture same too)Girl Scout Thin Mints without the guilt. Satisfies the craving for them without clearing a whole row of the real ones! Just thought I would share.
I just posted the Grasshopper comment – just wanted to add you get your Thin Mint craving satisfied for about 2 points instead of 2 points PER COOKIE for the Girl Scout version. YIKES
if you pop a big bag of that popcorn, it’s really hard not to eat the whole thing!
