I don’t like to waste food but we had pizza leftover from the babysitter last night and it’s been calling me all morning. I took a look at it, thought about how crappy I feel becuase I ate too much yesterday and then said,
"NOPE! Totally NOT worth it!! Time to get back on track, today is a new day!"
I have to confess this decision took about an hour. Can you believe that? I was consumed with the thought of that pizza for that long. What is wrong with me?
Instead I split a healthy breakfast with the toddler. We had an orange, dry Frosted Mini-Wheats and yogurt. I feel SO MUCH BETTER and ready to face the day.
This morning I’m off to Lowes to get garden supplies. I’m taking my hand at a real garden in the GROUND not just tomato and pepper plants in pots. This is a big step for this garden immigrant!
Then it’s off to a party this afternoon and I’m planning a run this evening.
So raise up your water glass *ting* here’s to a Sensational Sunday!

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 [...]

Good for you Roni! I know just how hard that can be. Ive done things like that so many times lately. I got my toddler some saltine crackers and then asked “Can my have one? Oh wait.. Nope never mind. Mommys good!” And he couldnt understand WHY mom wanted one but then didnt anymore. Confused him a good one. lol
HERES TO A GREAT SUNDAY!!!!
Congratulations Roni!! I have spent “many” hours deliberating on whether to eat something or not. I can honestly say EVERY time I have chosen to say NO I haven’t regretted it. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
Good job… good luck on the garden. I am planting this week as well since school is off. I did it two years ago- the baby loved playing in the dirt! (she was almost 1 but was running by then) I had wonderful tomatoes, okra, squash and a couple cantalope. We have terrible squash bugs– so prepare for them or every thing will be gone quick. The winter squash, pumpkins, watermelon, zuchinni and yellow squash were distroyed. I was sad. I am ready this year.
Way to go on throwing the pizza out!! ;) Have a wonderful Memorial day and rest of your Sunday.
Hey Roni, I LOVE pizza also. I have been looking for a good veggie pizza for a long time. I was at Walmart and found Tombstone light veggie pizza. It was really good and about 1/2 of the points of a regular peice of cheese pizza.
Roni,
Have you ever read the book “Fed Up!”. I think you could find the answer to why the decision to throw away the pizza took you an hour. I would love to hear your comments on this book.
That is one way of making your self out of temptation , eating pizza is really not good for us mommy. Just try to limit but not too much.
Well done you – leftovers are one of my biggest problems. I hate seeing food wasted and I tend to hoover up any left over food especially stuff my children don’t eat. I have decided that I would rather throw it away than pile on the pounds.
Fantastic! I know how much of a milestone that is…I still can’t be trusted around pizza because I just can’t NOT finish it. Congrats!!!!
Incidentally, isn’t it weird that it feels so good to be healthy, and yet that feeling is lost so quickly in the face of temptation? There are so many days when I know if I just started off healthy how much better physically and mentally I would feel and yet I give in to a donut that makes me feel like crap.
Wow, good for you, I’m sure that was NOT and easy decision. I’ve done the same thing on a much smaller scale at work with cookies or bread. It is a hard decision.I always feel bad for wasting food yet better for not having it in front of me. I know how you love pizza so that is a HUGE NSV for you. Hope the rest of your day was just as sensational!
raised my water glass and have SO BEEN THERE WITH THE FOOD NEGOTIATING.
kudos to you for winning.

I came across your blog today and just wanted to say you look great!!!!! Congrats to you for skipping the pizza!

Sometimes those “thoughts of food” can get into your head and will not give you peace. You were wise to throw it away…better that than throwing away your good efforts at eating better!
I read somewhere that we agonoze over wasting food by throwing it away, but if we eat it when we don’t need it that’s still wasting it. That logic has helped me throw out many leftovers!
