You do NOT need that night time snack. You are just trying to keep yourself awake. Admit that, accept you can’t get everything done today, go to bed and GET SOME SLEEP!
You’ve been snacking WAY to much late night, see the problem, break the pattern, habits are too easily formed. YOU KNOW THIS.

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 [...]

ahhh, the inner voice we are all trying to cultivate. BTDT and will continue to, LOL!
Amen, sister! The last couple of nights I’ve been popping really strong sugarfree gum like Dentyn Ice to keep my mouth occupied and it has helped.
OMG! You read my mind. Late night eating is my ongoing battle–and the only thing standing between me and those last 5 lbs. And mainly because it is a habit and I am just tired. My tiredness is really good at pretending it is hunger! If I could I would print out your post and paste all over my kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately my roomies (who are naturally underweight!) would not appreciate it at all. I will book mark it though.
Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm. I never thought about it that way. I’ve been struggling with late-night eating … I snack when I get off work (after midnight). I knew it was a bad habit, but I didn’t think it was because I was trying to stay awake. Could be though.
Anyway, it’s Day 4, and I’m post-work-snack free! Maybe I’m on my way to licking the problem.
amen on the habits.
when I sold my studio and started writing full time I ‘habited’ myself into saddlebags by eating at the computer.
NO JOKE.
Yup! Me too. Too much night time snacking = being on the verge of backsliding. Not good.
I will not go too hungry if I don’t eat that extra food at night. I will be okay. Must stop now.
This is one habit I’m also trying to break. I don’t know why, but I feel like I need a snack after dinner, even if I’m not actually hungry. Habits are so hard to break though!
I’ve been struggling with that this week. Appreciate you posting your thoughts here.
My snacking happens as soon as I sit down at my desk at work. I seem to think I need to eat all morning!!!! Even though I had breakfast and I am not hungry. I have made a new rule though, if I have to pay for it at work, I will not eat it. This will at least keep me away from the vending machine and eating the healthy snacks that I brought.
Are you sure that wasn’t a NOTE TO TRICIA…because omg it’s the SAME THING HERE. Ugh…why do we do this to ourselves???
Personally I need a mini-snack. If I have points left, then I deserve it! Just a 2 or 3 point snack nothing too crazy! :) Everyone deserves a treat!
THANK YOU!!!!!
it is late night, my husband and child have been asleep for hours, and i’m sitting here FIGHTING with myself about whether or not i should let myself eat just TWO MORE POINTS that i don’t have…i’ve been through four pickes and what feels like a gallon of ice water trying to quiet the voice.
so thank you. because i AM tired…and i definately don’t need to be eating right now. i’m going to bed.
I don’t think anyone needs to eat at night unless they are planning a very intense work……sorry hubby, not tonight ;)
