What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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... [...]

Hey Roni~
I have an idea for the question of the week-
How do you avoid late night snacking? Tips or advice?
I have slipped into some night-time snacking (I have always snacked at night, even during the time I was losing weight)- but recently, I have actually started getting nervous because I am struggling to resist and am snacking more. In fact, I just snack and then hold my breath as I watch the scale. I am maintaining my weight- I think a lot has to do with the fact that I am eating healthy (the snacks are even relatively healthy)- but still!! I fear that the urge is taking over, out of the blue. So that would be a great question of the week- what are people’s strategies and how to be successful avoiding the late-night grazing~
:)Amy
Roni,
I know that you have a lot of readers and there will be a demand for the shirts and such at first, but if you’d rather not have the hassle of sending things out yourself and keeping track of orders and such, since you have a billion other things to do, consider cafepress.com. You can upload your designs and people can pick what they want the designs on. Just a thought.
Hi Roni!
That’s one weekend to talk about! The corn maze activities sounded fun, and the relay must have been awesome, too.
However, I have something from the bottom of my heart for you: Don’t do this all the time! Because I think our bodies are like a kind of physical bank account, and the way you talked about all the things you haven’t got done yet made me think that you might start to run into the red zone of the account if you do not take care of refuelling yourself. By just falling asleep – which was good for you – your body showed you that you have reached a limit right now. Even if those activities were actually all positive and worth doing.
A burn-out happened to me years ago, and it is NO fun, believe me, escpecially the recovering part. But as you are a positive, intelligent and careful girl, I am sure this won’t happen to you. It was just that a thought that I needed to pass you as we all need you here with us. And we still love you, even if you just make one video and finish the book at the start of next year for all those of us who need something new for strengthening our resolutions. :)
About the weekly question: How about some question on emotional eating, especially concerning sadness and anger? Or fears that might hinder you losing weight, e.g. what if my skin does not retract and I do not have the money for a tummy tuck? I know some of our fears are ridiculous, but they still exist and might seriously block positive energy. Or about forgiving yourself and other people and how to do it. I read so many articles about forgiveness and that it is important, but none of these articles actually talked about the how or mind exercises which might help.
Another and more positive idea might be about rewards. How do we reward ourselves when we reached a set goal? It might be just by getting new bed socks or something which does not require spending money.
Have such a great week and take care of yourself!
Love, Nina
SOSOSOSOSO cool!

Roni, it was so great to meet you yesterday! I enjoyed doing the panel discussion with you and wish there had been more time for us to talk as we seem to have a lot of professional stuff in common. And…a marathon? You are totally a hero!
Amy – LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea. As I have been falling prey to the night time snacking myself!
Nikki – I’m thinking either cafexpress OR Zazzle, although at this point I’m leaning towards Zazzle!
Nina – I TOTALLY hear ya, that was just a crazy weekend! I have no plans on doing that again any time soon!
And keep commenting you have so much good stuff to share! :~)
Hi Amy!
Been there, done that. Maybe your blood sugar level is not stable during the day, I gave into late night snacking more when I wasn’t eating regularly and included bigger amounts of white flour, white sugar, etc. into my diet. And I did not drink enough water. Or it is just a phase because you are stressed and will go away if you relax a bit more.
And try to embrace snacking instead of fighting it. Have something healthy and delicious ready so you won’t have a bad conscience which makes you eat even more.
Love,
Nina
I would totally order an apron! You’ve got a lot planned in the apparel department!
Even though I usually don’t have the problem, I think Amy’s idea for QOTW would be a good one. I’m sure a lot of people have ideas that will be helpful for those who tend to snack in the evenings and late at night.
Irish looks SOOO comfy back there. Makes me want to do the same. :)

Hi Roni – what a day it was at BlogHer, I have thousands of pages of notes in my “Blog Log”. Yep – I wrote everything down!
You were a wonderful and inspiring speaker. So, I checked in today and was shocked to see a link to my blog. Thank you so much!
You are my favorite! (did that work? I pull it on my kids all the time)

Hey Nina~
I appreciate the advice! It’s a good point you make about snacking creeping up when there are blood-sugar level issues, stress, etc. I was actually just about to revisit my past food journals to see what in the world I was doing because I was totally fine and in control of the evening snack situation. I don’t think it is stress lately, but it could be what I am eating and I am for sure not drinking enough water. I need to figure this out! I am at my goal weight and have really enjoyed being trim again (and don’t want to regain!) This snack situation is pure evil!! It’s like it over-powers me and in the moment, I quit caring. Anyway, I need to pull it together while my weight is still down. Great advice about embracing the snack-attacks with something really healthy. ;o) Amy
Well, I haven’t watched your video (because I’m at work and random people tend to walk by my desk). But I talked to you at BlogHer DC, and I told you I was going to leave a comment and that you should WATCH OUT for it, because I’ve left a few comments here in the past and you have NOT RESPONDED. What nerve!!!!
Totally joking. :)
You have great blogs, and it was really nice meeting you.
