Why did you need two Notes to Self this weekend? What is up with you?
Good job going to bed early last night to "stop the bleeding." You’re cravings where insatiable! Even though you didn’t make Sunday completely Sensational let’s shoot for a Marvelous Monday. Yes, you’ll be out all day, just plan, pack your snacks, and journal. These feelings shall pass, you know that.
Oh! and never… EVER buy baked Doritos again!! Didn’t you learn your lesson already? You just can’t be trusted! They are your crack. Stay away! and stop using the husband as an excuse he’s got more then enough snacks that don’t tempt you as much.
Now get over this weird mood and get on with the day! Every choice IS a new one!

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 [...] -
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 [...]

Of course you know that you are not alone. I am an empty nester whose husband works a second job 3 evenings a week. Last Wednesday evening, I went to bed at 7:15, simply so I would not eat another thing. Actually I ended up enjoying myself very much because I read about 5 chapters of a book before turning off the light!
Have you tried the teeth-brushing trick? That can usually stop you from eating more if you’re not quite ready for bed. But sometimes going to sleep is the only hope:

Note to Roni: OF COURSE those feelings will pass. The important part is that you already know that :) You know the saying ‘crazy people don’t know they are crazy’ ? Same principal. If you really were turning into a big, terribly lazy couch potato you wouldn’t stress so much about it!
Keep positive and good luck with your Marvelous Monday!
I hope your weekend was awesome! :)
LOVE the baked Doritos – they are like crack to me too. And Trader Joe’s sesame pretzels, I just can’t have them in my house anymore!
You have sworn yourself away from Baked Doritos like 50 times now over the last 2 years! I think you’ll be ok as long as the binges don’t happen everyday! ;o) I beat myself up over stuff like that too. . .but you wouldn’t have this successful website and be 70lbs lighter if you didn’t keep track of it. . .so write the post, worry about it then, and then cut yourself a break, you lost 70 lbs and have kept it off for a LONG time now!
By the way, I noticed you have an Ann Taylor ad on your page! WTG on the publicity! I love that store and I’m sure they’ll get a lot of business advertising on here! :o)
Merry Christmas!
Like you, I know I can never, ever snack on any of those baked/100 calorie snacks. I really can’t be trusted. Those things throw me off track quicker than some really fattening, decadent dessert. I would be like the queen of the baked crack house if I even let myself have one bag.
I’m impressed that it was the Baked! I think I would have “accidently” purchased the Buffalo Wing and Blue Cheese combination!
I am just starting out on this weight loss journey. Instead of starting with WW I have been participating in a program offered through my local hospital. I have been doing great – last Tuesday i celebrated 51.5 pounds lost since September. I have been working hard, sticking to the diet, increasing my exercise and working all the homework, attending all the sessions and learning. I see all my old habits now. I see how much I ate, before I even sat down to eat. I see how I used food to compensate when I was hungry, tired, lonely, sad, happy, whatever the emotion, I had the craving for food to cope. Now, it has been 14 weeks and I am learning, but I am still so unsure of myself. I know that I would go buy those durritos and eat them. and eat them. and eat them. Will I ever find the will power?
I linked to your site from my site for Menu Monday Planning as I am stealing your Salisbury Steak recipe for my family. I modified it by adding a cup of chopped up spinach…yummy!
I need a note to self for last week! Yikes self, stay away from holiday baked goodies. You don’t need them and half the time you don’t even LIKE them!
My hubby’s weakness is popcorn which never tempts me. However once I take the first handful I mindlessly eat more. Stay away from popcorn…unless it’s air popped with no butter added =)
