Next time you take a new class, like yoga, don’t go in the back afraid to look like an ass. Go right up front so you can see the instructor, ask for help and LEARN! There’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone starts somewhere.
Now… when you’re feeling a bit down, mad at the husband and getting annoyed with the toddler DO NOT experiment in the kitchen as therapy! You end up eating WAY too much. Really, when will you learn? Food is NOT the answer.
Oh! And STOP sneaking bites while making the toddlers lunches for school. You KNOW better! It’s mindless!!

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 [...]

Sounds like someone needs a time out LOL! Take a deep breath, you’ll be fine :)
What is it about being mad at husbands that leaves one so susceptible to blowing self-control? This was my story this weekend too. (Actually, I’m a bit fed up with the lack of support I get from my hubby in trying to improve my health. Guess I’m on my own. :(
Thanks for your perspective!

Dear Roni,
RELAAAAAAAAAAX! Oh, and BREATHE!
Remember my question about, “I should have known better!!!”? This is exactly what I meant, only that I was a little more desperate about it. This is not about logic or knowledge. Find out what makes you “trip over your shoelaces”. And let me give you a big hug. :)
It is ok to go to the back of the class if you really feel like it, so don’t force it, but go to the front or middle of the class as soon as you can, it feels great! There are right moments for the front and right moments for the back.
And next time you get mad, look for your gym gear or a sexy masseur ;9 -partly just kidding. Maybe put a list on the fridge of non-food treats you could have next time you get a funk or mad. And “design” that list so that it really looks good, with headlines which are big like the ones in the tabloids. So you have to look at it every time you go near some food.
And ok, if the toddler is not only having cucumbers and carrots, stop having little bites here and there. Resp. have your bowl of fruit or veggies near. But if you have had little bites, embrace them, maybe your nerves needed them. Just don’t make it a habit.
Lots of love!
Nina
I think all the little bites I am sneaking are catching up. I did not lose anything this week! Phft! That is fine. I just have to work harder and avoid little bites all week!

Just curious but which gym did you join? You mentioned that you switched. I used to go to the Bel Air Athletic Club when I lived in Bel Air, but now that I am in Belcamp it is too far. Now the closest gym to me is Curves. :(
pms? Sounds like me this week :)

I had to laugh at your post. It’s so honest and I think we all do those things.
As to sneaking bites from toddler’s lunch. I have the opposite situation. I watch my 12 mo old granddaughter 3X/week. She is the proud owner of 2 bottom teeth so is at that in-between soft food and tiny bites. I was feeding her (yogurt, applesauce & babyfood chicken) while I was eating my leftover baked chicken and rice. She wanted MY food. I must have given her at least a tablespoonful of bits of my chicken. Probably good for me, portion-wise. I’ll have to beware of the time to come when her stuff starts to tempt me!
