I don’t have much time tonight. My site was hacked again! This time it wasn’t as invasive but still. Some Jackass interjected Viagra ads into all of my files! WTH? I mean seriously!
*deep breath*
I’m not going to focus anymore energy on it. Anyway, here’s my quick food journal today. I’m returning to my simple format. I want to track but doing a full week in loss mode is too much for me right now. I have a lot going on.
So on to this snack idea!
Tonight I just wanted something. You know, “something”. So I took a VitaTop out of the freezer and let it defrost on the counter for a few minutes. Then I and cut it in half. Not in half, like in half but in half so I ended up with two full circles. Does that make sense? Then I proceed to top one of the halves with ¼ cup of Breyer’s Free and squished it down with the other half of muffin. TADA! 2 point Ice cream sandwich!! How COOL is that?! Yea, yea I could have bought a skinny cow or something, but I didn’t have any on hand and this was a nice substitute.
Sorry no picture, I’m a bit lazy tonight. I’ll snap next time I make it. OK, Gotta run.

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 [...]

that’s awful about the hacker! Some people really need to get a life! The ice cream sandwich sounds yummy and easy. I am always looking for a quick snack like that for the kiddos or me or whoever just happened to drop by. Today all I had for my nieces was healthy pb cookies I made on Sat. and some cheese ;) I will have to keep the freezer stocked with supplies for summer treats!
I was wondering what was going on. I went to the site and there was a bunch of file folders showing with a bunch of code.
It’s so unfair – in the US you have soooooo much choice when it comes to food for healthy eating. In the UK you have to go to 5 different supermarkets or just eat fruit and vegetables. You would be so disappointed with food over here
It makes life so much harder for us british wannabe-slims.
I have no control with those.
one top makes (makes. it’s out of my control :)) me eat 12 more….
Hi Roni,
Another good low fat “ice cream” sandwich idea. Take the chocholate flavored graham crackers (not chocholate covered!) pot fat free or low fat whip cream in between to make a sandwich and freeze for several hours. It is very good! I usually make them in the morning if I am going to have them in the afternoon/evening. My son has always liked them.

The summer bake sounds wonderful and light! I wonder how it would taste with Fiber One, or maybe that would be too sweet. I’ll have to experiment.
In a dish like that, a little cheese goes a long way, especially if you go with a mixture of moz. with parmesan or something. The “tang” of the parm allows you to use much less.
Sorry about the technical difficulties, Roni. I wonder if these guys just choose their sites randomly without looking at the subject matter?!?
I just found your site about a week ago and love it. I just started blogging about my weight journey and you have given me courage to be real about the struggle. I like your food journal tool alot. Thanks for sharing.
That is a fantastic idea! Unfortunately, I lack the will power to keep ice cream in the house, so I may try this with a little Cool Whip Free. :)
Sorry to hear about the technical difficulties. Hackers stink!
Also, I realize my advice here is completely unsolicited, but your menu doesn’t look very full to me. I realize you weigh a lot less than I do, but it doesn’t look like you’re eating very much, especially if you’re working out a lot. And you’re not meeting the GHGs. It’s just something I noticed.
Love your site, and the ice cream sandwich sounds yummy! I might have to investigate. :-)
that’s funny, well not really. I have been getting serious spam about penis size as well.
Hehe, I kept reading the line “Not in half, like in half but in half so I ended up with two full circles.” and wouldn’t let myself move on until I got it. Then yes, finally it clicked (I never said I was a geometry expert…or even novice!). Then I read further on and it makes complete sense. I wasted all that brain power. :)
Hope the site stays e.d. ads free for awhile!!

Don’t those hackers know that we don’t need viagra?? We’re all eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise here…we’ve got plenty of energy! ; )
Seriously, don’t let the hackers or critical comments get to you on a personal level. Keep up the great work, doing what you do so well. We love it!
boo hackers…
Thanks so much for all of the work that you put into this site and the others. I really like them.
Hey! I haven’t been getting your comments in my email! What is GOING on with technology lately!
Anyway…
Real quick to the person who said I didn’t eat enough, sorry no time to look back. I did that on purpose to make up for the last few days of over eating! I ate until just satisfied, I do normally eat more! Just thought I should address.
Thanks for everything guys, off to post something fun!
Roni, I’m the one who said you didn’t eat enough, and I’ll admit that I only looked at your food journal today. Thanks for the reply though!
