It’s only my second week of Thursday Thoughts and I’m already late! I meant to get this post done this morning but my day’s been crazy!
Let’s get to it…
- Robyn emailed me an awesome recipe site for Weight Watcher Friendly ideas. I haven’t spent nearly as much time a I want to on the site but it seems to be a great collection of recipes. I can’t wait to explore it some more!
- I was also contacted by PhysicalFitnet asking if I’d like to embed any of their workout videos. At first I rolled my eyes as I get a request like this pretty much daily but when I checked out the site I was pleasantly surprised. They have a host of different exercises for different body parts each illustrated with a quick video! I may put together a few routines and embed the videos to show you what I’m doing at the gym!
- Alexia found a disturbing image of a 12 year old hamburger. Yikes! I don’t know about you but I like my food to biodegrade!
- MizFit posted an interesting post about the keys to weight loss. You’re thinking reduce calories and exercising right? Well guess again! There is an interesting conversation happening over there in the comments. Go add your 2 cents! I did. :~)
- I’ve been a little less active on GreenLiteBites this week, just not having time to come up with new ideas (plus I’m *trying* to focus on the book!) but the toddler and I did record a produce pick (prickly pear) Monday morning and today I posted a fun lunch box alternative to the boring sandwich.
- Speaking of the toddler, he’s been an angel since his meltdown the other day *knocking on wood* and yesterday we played an old game I made for him when he was just "the baby". I may revisit it again now that he’s older and learning his letters. He loved the fact that you could hold down the keys and make the colors change really fast and hear the letter start over and over again. Mom wanted to bang her head against the wall loved it too. ;~P
- What I’m working on… A product review for a probiotic bar, a food find for prunes (yes, you read that right, prunes) and t-shirt designs! I hope to launch a little t-shirt store front in a few weeks. I’ll keep you posted!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

Yikes! I forgot. It’s not that big of a deal. :~) I edited the footer, thanks!
you better be ready for the tshirt orders.. you are very well known across the US.. so you will get flooded with orders.. and people will want their tshirts. not be on a wait list.. just FYI
With regards to the so called 12 year old McBurger…. “i’m lovin it” which can be seen printed on this hamburger wrapper was not the slogan of McDonalds 12 years ago, it is much more recent than that and still current.
Question everything you are told on the internet.
Kim – Not claiming it’s real or not but if you read the original post the author says she just bought the wrapper. Either way, true are false we all know McD’s burgers are nasty. Tasty! but nasty. :~P

I’d like to see her take that new burger and stick it another container next to the original and see what happens. I just can’t imagine that there haven’t been any formula changes in 12 years… if you’ve ever seen Supersize Me with Morgan Spurlock, one of the bonus features, he takes each of the sandwiches from McDonalds and puts them in a clear container, and watches them degrade. Some of them took longer to start breaking down than is really comfortable, but except for the french fries, ALL of the sandwiches did start molding and such.
