I Published a Cook Book!

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 [...]

Hi Roni-
Thanks for another video with answers. I had a quick suggestion for you – hopefully it will be easy to implement and helpful to others? I was hoping you could put time markers on each question, so we know where in the video they begin. For example, in today’s video, I really wanted to hear the hypothyroid answer, but I wasn’t sure where in the video it was.. of course I watched the whole thing, but if I was in a time crunch or just interested in one question/answer, knowing right where it is would be so great.
Thanks for your site, keep up the great work and motivation.
Kathy – It’s a great idea! and actually with the new player I use I can (or you can) comment and it leaves marks on the video time line. I added them, what do you think? It’s actually something I’ve wanted to do but haven’t, for some reason.
Excellent idea!!!!
Thanks for the time markers on the latest video; love your site!
Is something wrong with the volume? I cannot hear the video this time.
Wow!! Another great one Roni! Love to listen to you chat in the afternoons when my kiddos nap :)
Great Video. If I can add to the runners question, it’s all about heart rate. Keep your HR below your max, maintain it around your target HR. Wearing a HR monitor is what taught me to run.
Great videos this week Roni!! They have both really spoke to me this week. Great timing for me!!! :) I love your advice to take it slow–one change at a time. I’m very overwhelmed at how much I have to lose now post baby and that is GREAT advice!!!
Thank you for all you do with these sites. You are so amazing!!!
About learning how to run? Building up a cardio base using cross-training (endurance speedwalking, the elliptical, the bike, etc.) will probably help. That should help with the “huffing” feeling.
Roni? You’re my buddy in the 10 minute mile. :)
Great video session Roni. I’m having a crappy few days and really going hard on myself about them so the first question you answered really spoke to me.
Thanks.
Roni,
Ok I know that you are busy, and I know you are backlogged, so PLEASE I just want you to take this as a helpful comment. I’m not sure if anyone else is feeling the same or not, but I kinda miss the old entries. I like the video questions and answers sometimes, but it seems lately that is all there is and not many of the old journal entry type things. Please don’t get me wrong, I like the videos and the questions answered, but I miss the old blog of just day to day things. I know you are tackling alot right now and I understand that other things come first, but just a suggestion. Love all you do here and on GLB.
Alisha – Don’t take this the wrong way but I have to say it.
1.) I am only human so sometimes I just don’t want to share.
2.) It’s the summer and I’m totally out of my routine.
I don’t want/need the pressure of updating thousands of people on every bad or good day I’ve had. I know that’s how my blog started but it’s grown to be so much more then that. I appreciate everyone who reads but at the same time I’m human being too! KWIM? Sometimes I just don’t feel like sharing! LOL
Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not scolding you and I appreciate you sharing your opinion but sometimes comments like this put more pressure on me then I want. It’s my own fault for being so public. I realize this.
Thank you for posting this and giving me a chance to explain to not only you but everyone who had your same thoughts but were afraid to post them in a comment!
The funny thing is… I plan on more journal entries as I do feel the lack of facing my feelings is leading to my overeating lately!
Great Podcast as always Roni.
Loved the refried bean ideas! Hope you have a great weekend.
Chris :o)
Refried been idea – I use it for my lunches on a regular basis.
Take a couple chicken breasts and Boil them on the stove for about 20 minutes until cooked through. I usually add some seasonings and garlic to the water (You can save the broth for other cooking). Then take 2 forks and shred the chicken into small pieces. Put it back on the stove in a pan and add taco seasonings to it just like you do hamburger for tacos. Then I take either black beans or refried beans into my dish and add the taco chicken on top with some cheese and black olives. Then I take one of the 100 calorie packs of Dorito’s and crush it on top. It makes a great lunch. I try to make up 3 or 4 of these at once and freeze them. They reheat great. Instead of the doritos you can add it to tortilla shells for tacos.
