I feel asleep…
that’s right, asleep! I was so exhausted last night that I passed out on the couch before Fear Itself even came on and I was so looking forward to seeing it because I’ve missed it for weeks.
Needless to say, because I fell asleep, I didn’t post my menu, I didn’t clean out my inbox and I did get any work done. *sigh* BUT I did get some much needed rest and now I feel rejuvenated! I don’t think I’ve gotten more then 6 hours a sleep in months! It just seems like no matter what time I fall asleep my body (and sometimes the toddler) wakes me up before 7AM every day. I used to make fun of my mom for the same thing and alas it’s happened to me. The body clock has kicked it up a notch I suppose. You’d think it would also happen to the husband but noooo that man can sleep 14 hours in a row if you let him. I’m SO jealous!
Anyway, yesterday was a "food day". I feel like I was eating constantly but I made great choices. Even limiting the "free" pasta that was offered at the office. I didn’t make it to the gym but I’m about to head out for boot camp right now. I also may have some exciting news on the running front. I’ll keep you posted!
Oh! and something screwy is happening with my email. I’m not getting any comments from the site. First the hacker, now this. I’m about to strangle my hosting company. I think it’s time to upgrade! Any super-bloggers out they with hosting suggestions?

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 [...]

running news!? Are you going to run a race?!?
You know, sometimes you just have to do nothing. And not feel bad about it. :)
Happy Friday!
I use Web Hosting Pad and they are FABULOUS!
I’m glad to see you count corn on the cob as 1 point per ear too!
I am running my first race at the end of Septmeber…cant wait to hear your race news!
I have that body clock too :) They say the hours of sleep from midnight to about 3 are the most important and I believe it because when I am disturbed by a child at that time….I feel crappy the next day. Some times, a girl just needs her sleep :)
Hi Roni. Have you seen the blueberry-mango crisp that Dani Spies just posted a couple days ago?

You may be interested in reading “Appetites” by Caroline Knapp.
Don’t be turned off by the advertised subject matter if you look it up on Amazon. It’s quite a bit more broad than that.
OK, I’m STILL not getting email notifications of your comments and it’s pissing me off!
Yes Gotta.. I did which is why I was prompted to experiment!! She is genius, isn’t she!
Jessie, just read the description, it’s sounds very good! I’ll check it out on my next library trip! Thanks for the recommendation!
Running news is definitely a race, I may be joining a TEAM! Not sure yet, I’ll be posting ASAP when I hear!
Roni, I guess you know what a great cook you are! Almost every time I read your food journal for the day, I am tempted to cook what you have listed. So tomorrow I am looking forward to making your summer veggie bake, and some of that sweet and tangy salmon-mmmmm mmmmm! So fun to look forward to food, AND know it is healthy for you!
Great quote! I just might have to put it in my blog!
