Strange post title, I know. Chalk it up to a lack of creativity when I’m sick. :)
Let me fill you in on the virus thing. Last night, something, I’m not quite sure what it was, infected my body. At 4:30 AM my stomach did all it could to remove the trespassers. It’s now 1:30PM and I’ve finally mustered up enough energy to wonder out of my room. Totally not fun!
Thankfully my parents are visiting. So the toddler didn’t have to see mommy waste an entire day in bed. I HATE being sick. HATE IT!
Anyway, the next thing I’d like to mention is my website chat. The podcast is up on Jack’s blog. It’s a bit long but we talk about everything. All my sites, how I record and edit the videos for GreenLiteBites and my advice for new bloggers. It was so much fun and validated that I’m really doing what I want to be doing. I love every aspect of blogging and am starting to get really excited about helping others do the same.
Cue… New Blog. :)
Finally the new blog. It’s not "quite" finished as I haven’t written any meaningful posts but I wanted to launch it to get feedback, advice and free testers. :) You guys know by now I tend to do things off the cuff and just throw myself out there. I have some great questions and ideas already for posts from you guys. Now I just need to start writing! Unfortunately this virus set me back a bit. :( Either way click here to check out my new SkinnyMinnyMedia blog.
As for me, well… I’m still not 100 percent. I think I’m going to relax in a bath and drink some more Gatorade. Maybe I’ll try some soup in a bit. I haven’t eaten all day and right now have no desire to.
Hope your weekend is going better then mine! :)

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 [...]

Hope the weekend gets better! Heading to the new blog! :)
Hope you feel better! I bet you caught it from the toddler. Usually when one person gets that stomach thing everyone in the house gets it. Tell the husband to stay away from you, lol!
Ugh, I had that about a month ago. Kicked me in the hind end. I literally spent a day in bed as well. Hope you get feeling better soon. Good thing the grands were there. Thankfully hubs was home the day I was sick and my toddler could just not understand why mommy didn’t want to play! Take care…and off to your new blog!
Feel better soon!
Hi Roni, I just headed over to your new site, and your Google ads don’t appear. I clicked on over to “tell you” about it…. and there was an error when I hit submit! Uh oh! I hope this helps you figure out the bug in the system. Now you have two bugs, a physical one, and a computer one! Oh no!
Feel better soon! Off to check out your links …
Hey Roni
You have… SkinnyMinnyMedia is a…
…one women web, blogging and consulting company.
But did you want it to read …one woman instead of women?
Feel better!
Love the new blog. Can’t wait to start reading all that great advice. Hope you feel better soon. Sucks being sick, that’s for sure!
I flew to Baltimore two weeks ago to visit a friend and got a stomach virus halfway through the weekend. I was sick almost five days with it. Something is going around there!
Poor you!! Seems the toddler passed the virus on! Hope you feel a lot better soon!
Going over to check out the new blog now!
Ugh…I got attacked by the same bug as well – the day we were scheduled to drive from Kentucky to Wisconsin for a wedding.
It wasn’t so bad, really. We didn’t have power at home due to the ice storm, so really, heading to a nice hotel room sounded like a much better idea than being sick at a friend’s house. I toughed it out in the car, crashed once we got here while the husband went to the reheasal, and woke up feeling 100% in the morning.
Hope you’re feeling better and back up to normal!
