I Published a Cook Book!

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 [...]

Just wanted to stop by and say how much I like the look of the new site. It was much over do.
Very cool video! I really hope you get some updates from everyone. It’s awesome to hear about so many successes!
I wanted to comment on the weekends off question. I have lost 30-35 pounds so far and the reason I have the 5 lb variance is because I took weekends off. It was really hard for me to get over the concept of not being able to take the weekends off since I did it for so long (4 months). I didnt even go that crazy but the weekends would gain me 5 lbs and I would lose it during the week. This weekend is the first weekend where I took the “weekend off” concept and made it only one meal off. I chose a meal to splurge on and the rest of the weekend I mentally tracked what I ate, but it was all good light food. Hopefully this works for me.
Like Roni said, give us an update! I would love to hear what you did.
Roni,
Loved the video as always- thanks for answering my Aldi’s question. I will be looking for the shopping list on your site. What a HOOT to do a video post from Aldi’s!
Enjoy your much needed vacation!
Blessings,
Barb
oh! I forgot to ask….. where can we get your Green Lite Bites shirts??? How cool…….
Loved the video and thanks for answering my question about weekends off.
I have managed to lose another 5 lbs and have now lost 35lbs in total. I am very happy with this and feel quite proud of myself. I have however, enjoyed my weekends continually since I asked this question. I think that I was actually looking for direction from someone who I respect in the WW department who wasn’t my leader that I see every week at our meetings. I already knew what her answer would be! I guess I was hopeful that Roni you would have some magical way for me to eat what I want on the weekends, not journal or exercise and still lose weight quickly! I know – stupid.
Roni – I agree. I should start tracking on the weekends even if I do go a little overboad with my points. I think that I have only lost an additional five lbs since writing that quetion because of my splurging on the weekends. We moved and stuff like that as well but I should have lost a lot more weight by now. I am sure it is hard on my body to raise my insulin, over fill my belly etc over the weekend and then do the complete opposite during the week. It can’t be good.
I like the suggestion made by Tara from Portland…perhaps it will be a one meal splurge and not a two day splurge…
Thanks everyone and thanks Roni for answering my question. I know I comment a lot!
Hope you have a wonderful vacation! Tanya
P.S. LOVE the new site!
Roni,
have a wonderful week…loved the video post. take it easy and enjoy your week…will miss you lots!!!!!!!

Roni, thanks for the advice and for sharing your thoughts with us. Hope your vacation is a fun one!
IS THAT A GREEN LITE BITES T-SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING?? WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

hi roni! i have heard of chia seeds and i eat them everyday! they really have helped me on my road to weight loss because they are a natural stomach filler and provide sort of sustained energy. i guess they were used for centuries by many south american cultures and were known as aztec running food because a handful of seeds could sustain a person all day long. anyway, the seeds are also loaded with fiber, omega-3, antioxidants and vitamins, so people really are calling them a superfood.
oddly enough, i happen to buy my seeds from the same place that you link to at the beginning of the post. they are called the chia seed and they have a pretty informative site and i’ve had a great experience buying from them online.
anyway, hope this helps you out and i love your videos so keep up the great work!!!
Thanks guys!!
