I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
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 [...]

You have no idea how much I appreciated this post — especially the piece on emtional eating (and I’m excited to check out the recommended books) and the relationship with self esteem issues. I know it was emotionally difficult for you to discuss, but it helped me — immensely. A giant THANK YOU!
Okay MISS your videos really need to come with a disclaimer ** GRAB some TISSUES! ** Thank you for being so open with us, I hope you know we are tearing up right along with you on the other side of the screen!
loved this video post. looking forward to seeing more about the topic of emotional eating! i agree that a lot of it is habit too. i think many times it starts off emotional (such as eating at a certain time or eating a certain thing because of something emotional) and then that happens so often that it becomes a habit and makes it so hard to break.
I was so glad to hear you answer the emotional eating question, it seems to be a problem so many of us have, but you’re an example that it’s not impossible to learn to deal with that, so that it does not affect one’s health or weight.
Roni, your answer to the first question had me in tears. I’m having a similar situation with my two closest friends, but it’s not about weight loss. Thanks for answering the question. I hope I can “take the high ground” and get back into their lives so they can once again be a part of mine. Thank you!
Hi Roni,
Another book/program you may be interested in if you are exploring emotional eating is Shrink Yourself (www.shrinkyourself.com). It’s helping me understand why I reach for food to make myself feel better when experiencing a whole range of negative emotions such as anger, loneliness, sadness etc.
Awesome timing on this one Roni. I have had a major issue with snack attacks for the last two weeks. I eat my dinner, feel satisfied and get the “I wants”. Today I am taking the bull by the horn and not giving in to the cravings unless I am hungry.
My advice to the gal asking about impatience is to stay busy! Sounds silly, but if I pack my day with activities (even if it’s a nap, LOL!) I feel like time flies. That’s a little part of why I go to the gym 5 days a week–so I’m not bored and impatient.
But I totally know what the gal meant–i can’t wait to reach goal either.
I love you videos. Did you work everything out with you friend?
Thanks Roni. I am so grateful for your insights. I will think about writing a letter.
Maranda – It did!
I’ve been having a hard time since returning to school, and your videos really helped me out tonight. I’m getting back on track this week and tried to make dinner and it didnt work out as well as I wanted and all I wanted to do was order chinese food. But I did some laundry and folded while listening to your videos. I know that some of the questions are hard (I tear up during a bunch of them) but by answering them, you always make me think and help me out during a difficult time :)
Thanks Roni!
Some advice regarding impatience during weight loss. Take time to recognize your milestones along the way and reward yourself (without food). Whether it’s losing a certain number of pounds, or when you fit into a smaller size, or even when your measurements go down by a certain amount. Congratulate yourself for the “little” accomplishments (this can also include drinking enough water every day, or exercising “X” number of days a week- pat yourself on the back!!).
If you look at the big picture, it’s easy to get impatient while you’re trying to reach that (seemingly faraway) goal. But if you break it into smaller chunks, and celebrate successes along the way, the journey is much less of a drudgery.
