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 just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

Roni, great job on the videos. I am really impressed on how you handled the personal questions and well…how you handle all the questions. It is nice to see your personality come out with each video. It is a fun way to get good answers and DOES make it seem more like WW leader!
Thanks for all the advice and encouragment!
Hope you had fun at the beach!
Roni,
I loved EVERY video that you did…I can’t believe you did all those questions for us……i hope you enjoyed your vacation. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Thanks for all the answers, advice, suggestions, and most importantly motivation. Everytime that you get teary eyed or cry in a video..so do I because I believe in the motto that nobody cries alone…haha..but thanks for your motivation and because of you i’m still on my journey…so thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Im off to eat a very healthy lunch since it’s the boyfriend’s 25th b-day today so i need to save some points….talk soon!!

Roni,
These videos are great. I love them and keep coming back to see you because you’re hilarious. You’re tummy tuck pictures are so brave, thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for posting, even on your holiday!

I love that you are so honest and forthcoming with your surgery information. This is something that is hard to find “personal” information and I appreciate that you are so helpful with your experiences and your pictures. You are a true friend to all in blog land. And you handle yourself very well. Kind and well spoken.
I think that you provide so much more through your website and doing what you do in general than you ever would being a ww leader. If I haven’t said this enough Thank you for you time, stories, ideas, and dedication to all of us.
Excellent video. As far as the way you handled the personal kid question, I think you handled it like a real class act. It was so endearing that you answered it. I think you gave just the right amount of attention to a question that is in fact personal. It was obvious that you wanted to be helpful and honest. Thank you. But you know what?If ever there is a time when you don’t feel comfortable answering a question that you feel is too personal, know that you reserve the right to keep information to yourself. I would hope your readers would understand that. Your blog followers seem pretty loyal to you so I’m sure most would. Thank you for sharing and doing all of that work to be sure we’d have something to tune in to while you’re away.
Ok Girlfriend, you are awesome, I have to check in on a daily basis to see whats new. You are awesome, keep it up, You are to cute and fun!
Hi Roni
I just sat and watched all 4 of your video chats. I love that you are so committed to helping others with their weight loss journeys. I have just started my own blog as I am trying to loose weight, but also just getting over depression.
I have been loosing and gaining the same 2 pounds for the last couple of weeks and your videos are just the kick up the butt I needed to motivate myself again.
Thanks for all your hard work – there are a lot of people out here that appreciate your hard work and dedication

Just wanted to stop by and say that I loved your Pizza recipe video on Mizfit and I love your site as well! I also think that it is great sharing so much for others and trying to help out others!
Another awesome video, Roni!
I was particularly impressed by your only kid response. You call your reasons for not having another child selfish, but I think just the opposite is true.
You understand that you and hubby are comfortable as a comfy, cozy 3-person unit, and you understand that you are stretched thin enough between your little one and personal interests. I think it would be REALLY selfish to know that you are at maximum capacity, and then have another child anyway. You’d be doing yourself, your current child, your hubby, and the new addition all a disservice.
I applaud you on a number of levels. The kid decision was well thought out and eloquently stated.
Hey Roni..just wanted to say great job on the videos. It is neat to see your personality shine through. I commend you for your decisions..not because I agree or disagree with them, but because they are what is right for you and no one else..as it should be. Way to go! I hope you had a fabulous vacation.
Roni,
Great job answering the very personal kid question. I’ve often wondered whether you had decided the toddler was to be your only child, especially given the tummy tuck, but never had the courage to ask–I’m surprised you answered, but so glad you did. I appreciate your honesty. I am TTC and therefore planning my own family. Just that decision alone was very personal and tough to make (athough you’d never know it by all the questions of when we are going to have kids…) I think your open dialogue about your choice very refreshing. I never understood why so many women feel compelled to bash those who choose differently (the SAHM vs. working mom debate is worse than the political scene as far as mud-slinging!) Thank God we have the choice, right? The fact that you didn’t judge others in your answer shows again what an honest and thoughtful person you are.
PS We were on vacation at the same time! Welcome back and I hope you had a nice break!
Roni, I just finished watching all the videos. Great advice and once again very motivating. Now I have to commit to my blog and start doing it more regularly. Thanks for all that you do that helps all of us! I’m glad you had a great vacation!
FYI, To the lady with the question on whether the tummy tuck was covered or not. I recently had a tummy tuck and I did try to get part of it covered by having the doctor request a “panniculectomy” which is just removal of the apron (or pannicula) of skin that hangs down below the belly button over the pubic area. However, the criteria by insurance is that you have to have 3 months of documented health issues caused by the hanging skin (like rashes or hygenic problems) I did not. Hope that helps.
