I should be sleeping but I find myself with a food journal and the need to share a few links before bed.
- I’ve been wanting to share this link every since someone (sorry I can’t remember who) shared it with me a few days ago. It’s a great article on some of the benefits of running. Very fitting for my new found hobbie!
- The second link is an online kids game the toddler and I played today. Other mom’s may be aware of Lazy Town, it’s a very odd show on Nick Jr. I say odd because it’s half puppet half human actors and that always kind of freaks me out. Anyway, we were looking for some online games and came across Superhero Challenge. I thought it was just perfect for the toddler. It’s a board game style so we got practice taking turns, counting and just overall learning how games work. As you play, you have to do physical activities like jumping splits and knee lifts. It was a lot of fun and kept his attention while we got some activity in!
- The third link is an article I wrote awhile back. I think I forgot to tell you that a few of my posts will be shared on EmpowHER.com as I am now an contributing blogger there. I’m not going to go crazy as I don’t have much time but my plan is to rework some of my more “article” style posts and share them in that new arena. The first one I chose was Dieting Made Me Fat – 7 Tips to a Healthier Lifestyle.
- Finally, I saw a great blog post today that I just wanted to share. Once Upon A Dieter shares her latest fatfighter tool and I just thought it was an awesome post!
OK, I gotta run. Crunches then bed for me!

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 [...]

Thanks for the links, Roni. The running article helped alleviate some of the concern I’ve been having about my ability to run without causing myself injury once I start the C25K program on Monday. Though it dealt with people much older than I, it made me realize that should I start now in my 30s, I’ll only have that much longer to benefit from running.
Loved your article on Empowher. I love what you said, if I may quote you: “No matter what you do today tomorrow is coming so you might as well do what you can to better yourself.” This is how I feel. If you’re going to be here a week or a month or a year from now anyway, why not do what you can do to get healthy? It might seem like a long way to go, but you’re going there anyway, might as well do it the right way. It’s what I tell myself when it seems that the weeks drag on and the weight comes off slowly.
Thanks again for a great site!
thanks for sharing!
great link…I love your article about how dieting made you fat! I can relate to that!
Hi,
I have seen the Empowher.com site before. They have alot of good info. I read your article this morning as I do every morning. My sister is doing an Austim walk in honor of my son in October. If anyone is interested in learning more or donating please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMGlI3PZxu0
Hey Roni~
Thanks for sharing the game “superhero challenge”~ I agree that the Lazy Town show is sorta strange, but that game is super cute! My 3-year-old and I did it and got quite a kick out of it- what a great what to get some activity in!!
;)

Hey Roni! I thought this link may interest you. It’s a site that allows you to track your distance. Just find your city, doulbe click along your route and it will tell you how many miles you have gone (or will go). The link is also posted on my blog, kristaskravings.blogspot.com. Have fun with it!

Hi Roni,
I am the one who sent you the link on the benefits on running. Thanks for passing it along on your site. I have been running 20 plus years and rarely miss a day, so at age 38 I am very happy to see the results of that study. Also, thanks Krista for that link for tracking running distance…i am anxious to try that out!
