I’m at it again, answering all of your great questions! This time I recorded three sessions but I’m using the first to experiment a bit with the whole Podcasting thing. Click here for the podcast file and I’ll be adding the link below the video player for all future video posts and I’m working on getting the podcasts added to iTunes. I’ll update here when I successfully get it up there.
Topics in this video include…
- Do I get overwhelmed with the popularity of the site?
- Do you ever get recognized?
- Don’t have time to cook, ideas?
- Weekly points in maintenance?
- What is my occupation?

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

So, I don’t think that people can ever hear this enough, even though it’s a bit awkward to tell a perfect stranger… you are gorgeous! I don’t know if it’s the lighting or what, but you look like you have a hair and makeup team at your house!
Anyway, I absolutely love the site (and GLB) and have made a ton of your recipes and enjoyed them all. Your positive attitude and kindness are so refreshing, helpful, and motivating and I really appreciate the time and energy you spend on us — even if it’s for you, it really is helping a whole lot of perfect strangers! With your help, I am developing a better mindset, and trying quinoa! Ha!
But seriously, you’re an amazing person, and I think I speak for us all when I thank you very much!
The video screen wasn’t there … but I listened to the podcast. We were just talking about maintenance at today’s meeting, so even though I still have 30 pounds to go, it was great timing.
Great job, as always. I love hearing your take on things.
The video just showed up, when the page reloaded w/ my comment. Strange. Oh well.
Awww Rebekah thank you so much! That was super sweet.
i concur with rebekah. you look great! like, gorgeous great! i don’t feel weird about saying that because after all that hard work losing the weight, you deserve to hear how good you look. i know ive said it before, but it’s inspirational.
keep video blogging. it’s really engaging.
ps. social media communities are fascinating to me too. and you’re alexa rating is waaaay better than mine!
Woohoo! Podcast! For some reason I think I could listen to you talk all day. Even though you would not be considered a licensed health care or diet professional you still have so much stuff to say that people want to hear. I don’t want to hear a doctor tell me that I need to lose weight. But I don’t mind hearing you suggest things that will aid in my loss. Not to mention you are a walking, talking success story. Oh…any you are a pretty person that is NOT stuck up. :-)
I agree with Christy……Woohoo! Podcast! And I too, could listen to you talk all day! I’ll bet there are a lot of us out there who could! I am SO into podcasts, and how great to have Roni on my iPod when I walk!!! Man!!!
Good video! I wanted to mention two things that are sorta off topic. I think you look very nice with your hair down. It seems like your hair is normally pulled up for the videos. Also, I cannot believe that you had wet hair in the video. It totally looks styled.
And….don’t laugh too hard…you are one of the few people I know that can actually look good from the angle you are at. If someone was to shoot me from an upward angle they would mostly get my chins…haha
Any word from Oprah yet? ;-)
Thanks for the maintenance question!!! I’ve found that since I’ve become a lifetime member, I don’t ever seem to be in “actual” maintenance mode…rather I go from not counting to “loss mode” to get me back on track, etc. Perhaps if I try the actual “maintenance”…I won’t have to do so much back and forth!!!
So Roni,
Will you let us know when you are on Oprah, because your audience will be full with all the people you inspire AND we want to meet you. (If someone did not contact Oprah – I will!) You are just soooo awesome at your job and I really want you to see how many people you are helping. You are doing such great things for us. You still rock sistafriend.
Your greatest fan (not stalker :o) from Wisconsin!
Kelly
Thanks guys! You are all too sweet!
I love the podcast! I’ve been trying to make time to sit down and watch the videos. Since I have been back at school, it has been really hard to do that. Yesterday, I played the podcast on my computer while I cleaned out a big storage cabinet in my classroom. It made the time pass much faster, and I got to enjoy your post while I was getting some necessary work done. Thanks!
