Remember that little innocent question that I laughed off in a video post the other day. The one that asked if I ever get recognized from the site. Well, it happened, TONIGHT! I was having dinner at a local restaurant (stuffing my face I might add) and I got up to play with the toddler. All of a sudden I hear a “Are you Roni? I read your site.” I just nodded in disbelief, not because I was recognized but because I JUST said it wouldn’t happen!
I think the husband was more exited then I was. The whole way home he was talking about it and making fun of me. He was joking about the stages of “celebrity”. Soon, he said, they’ll be asking for autograph. Ok, I said, we’ll see.
If that wasn’t enough craziness, remember that little guest post I mentioned. Well it was apparently picked up by Fox, Reuters and Sun-Times. How cool is that?!? It was so weird seeing my picture on those major news sites. All I did was answer a few questions! lol
The last craziness is iTunes. So I was working on the podcast thing and I’ve linked the audio files on the last two video posts but I finally got approval from iTunes. I have my own page! How cool is that? If you have iTunes you can use this link and it should launch it. If that doesn’t work you’ll be able to search for me in podcasts tomorrow (it takes a few days to get into the search results.) I don’t know why, but this cracks me up! Maybe because I use iTunes all the time.
Anyway, I had an OK day. I should have eaten more so I wasn’t so gosh darn hungry at dinner. I had that out of control feeling and I hate that. Ok, gotta get some sleep, have a long day tomorrow.

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 [...]

Fantastic, well done! To know you reach that many people, and it all started out a little blog to keep you accountable! Take that to your next workout and let it give you a little kick!
and you deserve every bit of positive recognition. truly, this going to sound like a broken record, you are helping so many people. wish you were local so you could enter my blog contest and win some pictures! Heck, maybe you should write one up anyways and if ever in TX claim your prize. =)
well you can tell your husband that I had already asked for your autograph when you were on the cover of magazine. You never replied(I assumed you were either weirded out or super busy) but it serves your argument point!
Keep up the good work.
Roni, I’m so proud of you. You deserve all the celebrity (and more!) you’re getting — you’ve earned it. Finding and maintaining your happy weight was/is a big accomplishment, but you’ve managed to benefit a million other people in the process by helping them lead healthier lives, too.
PS: I think I’ve said this before, but you also kick butt because 1) you’re teaching Ryan healthy habits (I hope I can be such a good mom someday!) and 2) you’re managing to make a (side-) career out of all the food-/fitness-related knowledge you’ve gained. I can only hope to do the same in the years to come.
Thanks again,
Mandapants
If your guest blog posts keep getting picked up by the wire services, you’re bound to be recognized more often. That is so cool, though! :D
I can’t help but notice that even on an “out of control” day, you only had 28 Points. That’s more like a normal day for me … about 3 Points over the 25 I’m now allowed.
Dude….we all want your autograph! I will put a piece of paper in the mail if you will sign it and return it. Heck…my husband even knows who you are. LOL…the other day I made a Rachel Ray recipe and my husband said, “Is this another Roni recipe? It is good.” He is a fan of your stuff. You helped me to not only eat healthier but also cook better. I used to burn EVERYTHING. ;-)
I bet it was fun being recognized …..and humbling too! Congrats on all of your current spotlights in the media :) You deserve it. We love ya!
You make the homemade brownie sundae’s like I do, aren’t they the best?
And that’s pretty cool you got recognized, If I ever see you, I’ll ask for your autograph ;) lol
Signed up at itunes and thankyou for putting it there. I love podcasts and enjoy walking alot more when I’m entertained.
I knew you were special and now more people are going to find out that.
Roni,
It was really cool to meet you yesterday. I hope I didn’t weird you out! It was really unexpected to look up and see someone from cyberspace! It was like meeting a celebrity!
Readers, I just have to tell you how great Roni looked and how absolutely adorable the Toddler was! He was so cute and really good with my one-year-old daughter.
I really appreciate all that you do on your sites. I know it is a lot of work. I have at least 50 more pounds to lose, and I look to your Web sites daily for information and motivation. Thank you so much! I hope I run into you again soon!
Crystal
LOL I think I remember that! Actually the gals at work made me sign them and it did freak me out a bit! I wouldn’t do it for days!
Everyone, thanks SO much for the nice comments. You all really keep me going!
You are a superstar Roni, you go girl! If I ever see you out somewhere I’ll get a picture with you :)

Roni you are a superstar to all of us that have been following you forever!! You are in inspiration and I can’t even tell you how many times I reference your site on my WW journey. I just resubscribed to get my last 20 pounds off after taking a break. The first thing I did after resubscribing was to come here to work on my plan. You rock and I’m glad you are getting the recognition that you so deserve!!! Thanks for all you have done to help get me where I am today…40 pounds lighter!!
Go podcasting. Next stop – television!
Hi Roni:
I’m laughing here because when you were on Woman’s World magazine a while back-I was looking for it specifically and when I saw it I was so exceited like someone I actually knew. I’m like-there she is there is my friend even though we don’t know each other personally feel like I do. Thanks again for your wonderful site and support to losers like me. Sherri
