Let me start with the confession as I want to get it out of the way. *sigh* After I posted last night I stayed up and ATE COOKIES! Gosh Darn these cookies. It’s like I have no willpower around them. It’s not that big of a deal. I just needed to get it off my chest. There are only a few left and I’m leaving them for the husband and then we WON’T be buying them again any time soon!
Tonight I warded off the cookie craving by making some Quick Chocolate Kettle Corn. I got a LOT more bite for my chocolate buck with that!
As for the updates, if you didn’t notice I changed my header image and tag line. I wanted to express my journey from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be healthy and I think my new statement says that. Well of course it does, because it actually does say it… One Mom’s Journey from Fat to Skinny to Healthy.
I also edited my About Page. It needed to represent me more and I think it does now. I realized my old message was geared more towards people who may already know me and have been reading for some time.
I also added ANOTHER pizza idea on GreenLiteBites and edited my Food Photos page to display 100 images at a time. It makes it much easier to find old ideas (for me anyway.) :~)

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 [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

Roni, I love your new header; It was the first thing that I noticed when I came here earlier to view your new video!
i absolutely love love love your new header!!
“I wanted to express my journey from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be healthy and I think my new statement says that. Well of course it does, because it actually does say it…” hahah i don’t know why but that made me smile/laugh.
love the header
love the about page
*sigh* love me some HALLOWEEN ORANGE OREOS.
that is all :)
roni, i have to get this off my chest…i ate nachos late last night! i never have nachos, thats such a “hubby” thing. but i was home alone, i rented a movie, and almost willingly felt like “cheating”. so i made a batch of nachos, with sourcream and salsa! phew, youre right, good to get it off my chest.
I love your new header! It’s a great lesson for all mommies to learn! Cookies are totally my downfall too! I made chocolate chip with sprinkles for my son to take to school this week and I froze some for the family. I managed to only eat 1 with a glass of milk! I can’t believe my days of eating a whole dozen may be over ;)
I think its important not to beat ourselves up over being human. There are so many healthy people who eat way worse than we do.
But blogging is a great way to hold ourselves accountable. Thanks for the recipes and posting the point values too!
Just to sum it up. a 3 month old, a 2 year old and a husband in Vagas for a whole week! equals…. the consumption of the rest of the bag of cookies… feeling sick and set back. Went to WW witht the goal to reach lifetime prior to baby # 2 and achieved that goal… but know am completely stuck and can’t seem to loose any of the baby pregnancy weight. (I know.. the cookies didn’t help) I stumbled across your site and am really greatful for the food journal. that is one this I wish WW would help with just tryign to eat the points is not the best when you are just startign out.
thanks again! I’ll be back!
