These are slowly becoming my favorite posts. I like that I can rapid fire things things off to you as I have SO much I want to share! If I had full blog posts about each of these things I’d have to lock myself in a room for 12 hours just to write plus I think my blog would be boring as hell, becoming way too impersonal. At least I think so. Anyway, let’s get started…
- I’m not a vegetarian but I appreciate vegetarian and vegan cooking a lot! Their recipes are normally whole grain, full of veggies (of course) use a lot of beans, and are just overall healthy but River from Wing-It Vegan shows us they can be festive too! Check out all of the awesome Halloween and fall ideas! My favorites are Halloweegan Spookitty Heads and Halloweegan Stuffed Peppers! Seriously, just TOO cool!
- I’ve talked about body image issues in the past, about the tricks our mind plays on us, about how my dad had a hand in shaping it, and how I think weight training is really helping me overcome it and how I really think poor body image started my weight issues to begin with. I know I’m not the only one out there with these issues. Check out diet blog’s post about improving body image for some help..
- For me, poor body image lead to overeating so lets follow suit. I am famous for saying this like… "I just want something." or "Sure, I can eat" even when I’m not physically hungry. Well this long article/interview sheds some interesting light.
- Yesterday I posted my Fitness Challenge results and one the things we measured was my body fat percentage. Well, awhile back someone (please forgive me I can’t remember) sent me this interesting video by Leigh Peele about how to correctly calculate it. I’ve been meaning to post about body fat percentage as a weight loss measurement tool but I haven’t had the time. So for now I’ll just pass on this link. :~)
- I’ve also been meaning to spend some time on this site that jynell sent me a few weeks back, but again, I haven’t had time. It helps track your training and I really should get in there as I embark on a new workout routine!
- The next link is a bit self serving… Vitalicious launched a new blog and look who’s feautured right now! :~)
- Ok, finally, you want motivation? I’ll give you motivation! Check out Donna! "Donna has lost over 100 pounds, reeled in her spiraling health, and transformed into an athlete beyond her wildest expectations. Donna has completed numerous triathlons of varying distances, 5k’s, 10k’s, half marathons, marathons, and her most recent achievement IronMan Canada!" Her personal site can be found here. Now THAT is some motivation! Thanks Nina! For passing this link on!
*phew* that should keep you busy for a bit. :~) As or me and news, well…. I posted a few new ideas this week on GreenLiteBites including an awesome roasted veggie soup with bulgur, a quick pasta idea and the toddler and I made french toast for this weeks video. You can’t miss it, he was in rare form being, well…, three! LOL
Other things I’m working on… First run of t-shirts SHOULD be available by next week, along with a book review, coupon giveaway, a Vitalicious contest and whatever else pops in this crazy mind of mine. Oh! and I started on the blogroll! If you notice on the right side bar, all the way down I now display a few random blogs from my ever growing list. I’m working on adding more and possibly categorizing them but hey, at least it’s a start!
*holstering gun* ok, I’m done firing until next week.

I Published a Cook Book!

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 [...]

Check out Pubsgals last blog post..Why do we sometimes do the OPPOSITE of what we should?
I liked the long interview. There was one “aha” moment for me, when they mentioned how when women on a diet eat chocolate, they overeat because they think they’re never going to eat it again. It somehow made sense. I haven’t looked at it that way before.

I cannot wait to get a t-shirt. I am thinking of buying an extra one to give away on my site. But I imagine most people that read your site will buy it so there might not be too many people to give it away too.
