What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

I love the videos! I appreciate all you do. God bless you!
I came across your blog from mizfit’s. You have some awesome stuff here! I just started my journey and am so inspired by all of you. I just watched your pizza video. Your son is adorable! I made pizza with my kids last weekend and we tried thinly sliced zucchini on top with the other healthy toppings..it was wonderful~ making pizza at home is so fun, not to mention economical and nutritious. Thanks for sharing ;)
I am ADORING these videos. Something that is always missing with blogs is emotions. We all obviously try to convey emotions but it doesn’t always come through. I loved seeing you laugh, nearly cry, etc. It just makes a blog that much more endearing.
I’m so glad to hear that your husband is finally getting on board. I laughed that it took 3 years of watching you going through your journey! My husband is finally after 1 1/2 years going to the gym more, and eating baked chips with his salsa, so I can totally relate!!!
Another great video, Roni!
I feel very lucky to have found this site. I am just starting my journey, and I’m not the type of person to post a website or blog, but I have to say that I’m enjoying the heck out of yours!
I’ve tried a couple of your recipes and they are to die for. With regard to the “lead by example”, I’ve got the opposite situation–my husband is a bit of a health nut, and that’s how he chooses to be supportive. Let me tell you, Roni, the “lead by example” idea really works!
just a thought for the lady with the new baby that wishes she was losing faster.
My weight loss took 2 years almost exactly. And I DID work on TONE the whole way down – and the plus of this is that my skin and flab DID “soak up” as I lost.
Not a bikini wearing body – but no folds or hanging pockets around my thighs or butt or abs. I have a flat tummy now. And I think that the slow, steady loss and the concentration on tone helped with this. There are plus points to losing slowly for some people. (I ended up with pockets of excess skin on my chest wall under my arm pits – that is my only ICK area and it hides easily with clothes.)
Also the lady with the new baby can easily do pilates type tone work at home tending the baby. And she can put the baby in a front pack and WALK. Exercise does not have to be the gym for her. she does not have to wait – can work slowly and build up.
I am 47 with 3 kids and 5′ 6″ and was 215 lbs+ (didn’t get on the scale at my heaviest so I only know what I was after the first couple weeks) and now have my “happy range” between 150 – 155lbs.
LOVE the video question/answer sessions!!!
For the woman who’s 5’10″, I am, too. But I’m only 36. My WW goal is 170 and my personal goal is 160. I stalled out at 169 while doing Atkins, and was quite happy — and felt great — at that weight.
Food for thought: Tyra Banks (who’s also 5’10″) was at 160 when the press was calling her “fat” in that bathing suit. I’d love to be 160!
Arlene, I know what you mean re: Tyra. I remember being in middle school thinking that I was fat @ 105 lbs. I am still about the same height but I weight a bit more than that.
My goal weight is 125 lb, but I am not tied to a number … I want to look as good as I’ve been feeling lately. I haven’t worn a swimsuit in years! I can’t wait.

Hey Roni! It’s Erin from the this week’s video. I did keep with the weight watchers plan and I am now on week 13. I’ve lost a total of 12lbs in 13 weeks and am very pleased with my progress. And actually, my family and I are all doing it together so it seems to help when you have others with you all working towards the same goals.
Thanks for attacking my question (and the questions of others). I think you hit all of the comments (in regards to my question) right on the head and I appreciate your perspective. Keep up the great work and enjoy you’re vacation!
I love this blog. The whole community is great. Arlene – I’m 5’10 too (and 33 years old). I was up to 211 but on my way back down – I’m 5 weeks into WW. I was 165 when I got married and thought that was good. But my goal is 159 – I think my head would explode to see something below 160. The lowest I’ve been is 135, but that was eons ago and too sickly skinny!!
I hated the whole Tyra fat thing! I mean REALLY???
Oh and have I mentioned I love Roni’s blog yet in this post???
