I DID IT! Yup, 40 minutes. I can’t believe it! and I was fine, I didn’t keel over, I didn’t die of a heart attack, I actually ENJOYED myself. Whoa, I’m still in shock myself. Every time I run I look more and more forward to the relay. Oh! and I did this run with a new friend I met from the site. I love finding workout buddies!
Ok, I don’t have time, I’m running out the door for poker night and then tomorrow it’s off to Mom’s for a BBQ. I will TRY to update Monday on all of these things…
- I recorded a Beer chicken in the OVEN. So YUMMY can’t wait to post it.
- I ate at Dunkin Donuts today and it was SO good and lite! Do you believe it?
- I have 2 food finds.
- A cookbook review.
- I was HACKED again and my baby was taken offline. :~(
I realize these are all very vague. I’ll fill you in later. Now, I have to leave and kick some poker arse! Then I’ll be MIA for two days.
Have a FABULOUS weekend!

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 [...]

Great job on the run! You’ll be awesome in the relay. Enjoy your weekend!!
Wow, you go! I can’t (yet) imagine. :-)
wow girl your doing awesome. I hope to be where you are soon.
Hey Roni could you remind us again what the little dots mean and also what the change in the lines mean? I remember you explained it in an old post, but I can’t find it! Thanks!
Great job! Can’t wait for the update on the teaser…hope you had a calmer second half of the weekend.
HAPPY LABOR DAY (And running with a new friend. Im thinking that THATS what I need to truly git myself running: a partner)

Way to go on the 40 minutes! How DID you find a running buddy? I’m in Southcentral PA…30 minutes from the MD line. We have a rails to trails path…but I dont’ feel safe to run it alone…
After two weeks not running (arm surgery) I’m hoping to slide back into my usual 40 minutes this Thursday. Probably will be rough…not having run in two weeks. Wish me luck!
~R.
Hey R., are you near Ohiopyle? i grew up there! live in GA now or I’d be your running buddy, I don’t have one either.
Sara – Sure! The dots are miles and the line represents my speed over distance. So the the higher the line the fast I’m gone, when it dips I’m slowing down.
runnin4fun – Never heard of it! LOL Is is in MD?
Oh and thanks everyone, loving the running!
good job on the run! Ahh…the mystery!
GREAT job Running Roni!!!

Runnin4fun…I’ve heard of Ohiopyle, but I’m not near there. A lot of people in my area talk about camping there, and riding the trail. I’ve heard it’s quite nice.
GL finding a running buddy…
~R.
Good for you, Roni!
You’re making me want to try running…….hmmm….
Hey Roni,
Wow that is so great. I ran the other night at Thomson park, you know the park that you came to with our bootcamp. I ran for about 8 min. Thought I would die at times LOL So my question to you is did you do your 40 min without stopping? I hope someone didn’t already ask you this and I am repeating the question.
Hope to hear from you again soon
Christine ( Cardio- Core Bootcamp Girl )
Christine – Actually no one asked me that! But I did, IF YOU BELIVE IT! LOL
Drop your pace to a trot and control breathing, that is my strategy!
Hey Roni!!!!!
That is amazing, I am even more amazed by you then I was before LOL. I am sooooooo impressed by that. I will try what you suggested, I think that has always been part of my problem, pacing myself. I tend to try to get out into the lead ( The competive side in me) Then I my battery runs out.
Thanks again for more great advise. Keep up all your hard work Roni, but don’t over do it, you have to have balance!
I know you know that.
Have a fantastic night. I am off to Bootcamp now I have back to back classes!
Cheers
Chris :o)
