I HATE Mondays!! I can’t wait until this semester is OVER!
Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been working on the VitaMix contest, picking finalists and starting to make and archive the recipes. Plus I hit the gym twice this weekend for a cardio blast class and a weight training session with the trainer (I’m still sore). I’ve also been playing around with the whole-wheat pizza dough experiments. The husband is officially sick of pizza but now I have to make it one more time to practice and photograph for the site. I’m thinking a video would be fun but it will require a bit of editing since it needs some time to rise. Oh! and I’ve been working on my new company site. Did I tell you that? Oh yea, I did. Like waaaay back in November. LOL Ummm all that and I work full time (for now) and have the toddler. What the eff am I thinking?!?
Ok, I think it’s time for bed. ;~P

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 sympathize with being sick of pizza.
Mostly because of a recent food poisoning episode.
Homemade whole wheat pizza crust?! I can’t wait!
Roni-I have been waiting for the whole wheat pizza dough!
Thank you because like you, I have a pizza…ugh ugh..problem..
Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Take care,
Tanya
I’m waiting with baited breath for these pizza recipes!
I’m your polenta pizza’s tonight. Wish me luck!

I hate monday’s too…this is actually my monday as I was on vacation this weekend. It makes it that much worse. Can’t wait to see the new recipes!
You are one busy woman! You are an inspiration in so many ways.
Keep it up!
Congrats on your lifetime anniversary. You still look fantastic Ronni!
Thanks for all you do on the site. I get ideas from you all the time.
Jessica
I don’t know where you find the time!!! Good for you! Love your site!
Sure you couldn’t fit in one more thing? You definitely take the award for most “irons in the fire.” If we could all keep up with you, we wouldn’t have to worry about our weight!
question…did I miss something? Why do you count carrots as 1 point in your food blog? Only if you cook them or they are canned right? Please specify…freaked me out…eat them all the time when I am out of points…just wanted to be sure! Thanks for everything especially the recipes…love the lemon poppy muffins…made them today in fact!
Thanks guys!
as for the carrots, check my FAQ. I eat a lot and base the points on the nutritional information of how many I ate.
I really liked your menu from Monday! Way to stay with the whole foods and avoid processed junk/snacks! Keep it up!
Roni,
I don’t know what the eff you are thinking…but go ahead and keep doing it you are an inspiration and we love your yummy GreenLiteBites….mmmmmm

I saw the recipe for your whole wheat pizza dough and I can’t wait to try it! Oh, and a suggestion for the video – why don’t you make a dough the night before and then just prepare another piece of dough for the video. This way after you’re done preparing it, you can switch to the dough that has been rising over night – and credit it to the “magic of television” =)
