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 [...]

Nice hair!!!

Great video post~ (the videos are my favorite)! I appreciate your openness about family members who aren’t on the same page with healthy eating. My husband is pretty good, but his parents are a real challenge. I feel bad when they come into town because I don’t keep any unhealthy food in the house (except very few kid-like snacks like wheat goldfish and fruit snacks that my toddler occasionally eats- and those aren’t so bad). I want to be accomodating, but I also want to set a good example. My husband’s dad is really off the deep end. He hard-headedly refuses to even try healthier versions of things. It’s like he genuinely doesn’t care or comprehend how his food choices impact his health. I have to admit, it sort-of bugs me after a while because it comes off as ignorant. At least he could acknowledge that eating healthier is certainly better, even though he chooses not to. I would respect that more. My husbands mom is on the fence, at least. She understands that they should eat better, but she gets tied up in lots of emotional eating (more than most) and falls into eating with my father-in-law. It’s a bad cycle for them and I think he is a big part of the problem. Anyway- it frustrates us because we know that their choices are why they aren’t in the kind of shape to be as active as they could be with their grandkids. I try to not think about it and just keep pushing on, trying to eat as healthy as possible- maybe one day, the will be more motivated to eat/live better~
Beigel and Beigel and Landau and Uncle Henry’s make 100% whole wheat pretzels in salted and sesame flavors.

Thanks Roni…..for answering my question about the whole wheat pretzels. Just a couple weeks after I asked you that question, I traveled to the Detroit area to visit my Aunt and cousins and I got to go to Trader Joes, believe it or not!!! So I stocked up on a lot of Trader Joe’s snacks (including whole wheat pretzels), but of course I couldn’t buy anything frozen or refrigerated. But I spent around $60 there…..and it was such a fun store. I wish we would get one in the central Illinois area.
Your haircut looks cute!

I have had my “ups” and downs with sizes as well. I have clothes that range in size from 2 to 8. This past July, I got serious with my training (running and weights), and I have gotten back into my “2s.” This is a crucial time for me, because I am more scared of gaining weight back than of having the weight on to begin with. By keeping the larger sizes in the closet, it reminds me that I need to stay on the right track!
I just bought Triscuit thin crisps. I need to stop eating them from the box. Lol.

I realize this makes me sound semi-crazy but I do have a photographic memory so bear with me lol…I’m pretty sure the post about eating in the car was a written post and not a video, because I remember seeing the words on the screen. Of course, I could be wrong…
I agree with everyone else. The hair looks great. I am on a bit of a stand still with my weight…I think I am going to pull up all your Q&A sessions and listen to then while I work. Hopefully it will help me think of something to kick start my efforts. :-)
I love the hair ;) ……….so glad you took the time for YOU :)

Good morning….. It is me, you, the rest of the “family” and my cup coffee… my morning ritual :)…
I am still not sure from where on this site I should send general questions, but you mentioned trader joes again. I have been to this store while in San Fran… and we have one in Milwaukee, WI. About once a year we take a trip there and stock up on well.. 2 buck Chuck :).. which by the way in WI is 3 buck chuck. (it is a pretty decent Wine for 2$ if you have not heard of it) We have not been there in a year, and I was not on my new life back then. We will be planning a trip soon and I know you have a LOT of items you recommend from them. Do you think you would ever consider doing one of your “shopping” lists for Trader Joes, like you did with Aldis!
Thank you for another good start to my morning
Hi Suzzan! Askin question in comments is totally fine! Unless you want to ask me one for the videos then use… http://ronisweigh.com/pages/ask-roni
As for the Trader Joe’s list, I beat ya to it! :~) Well kind of….
http://ronisweigh.com/ronis-resources/shopping-list
That page has some products I must get when I go which isn’t that often because it’s a little far for me. If I get some time I’ll work on a list and shoot a video but I don’t have plans on going anytime soon. :~(
