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 [...]

I know exactly what you mean!
Didn’t eat my afternoon snack so I was starving on my way home.
Had a horrible day at work. WAY TOO BUSY!!! (hence the no afternoon snack)
Called hubby on the way home and he met me at Chili’s where I ate WAY to many chips and salsa before my meal came. Ate a sensible meal, though.
Ugh!!
Came home and cooked a lean pot of chili for tomorrow night’s dinner. DON’T want to eat out again!
sounds like my day but w/o the pizza…still managed to not eat well though.
Bloating is the worst. I feel your pain!
tomorrow’s a new day to stay on target, live and learn :-) Hope it was yummy though ;-)
My day went good….it was my NIGHT again. Midnight…happens every time! I am trying hard to break the cycle…but nothing seems to be working! UGGGGG! Today is a new day…or I guess I should say Tonight is a new night! We will try again!
Hope your day is good! :)
Roni, the reason I love to read your notes to self is that they are all what we are thinking to ourselves on any given day. You just make sure we all know we are not alone. Thank you.
I just thought that I would point out that in your tag cloud “Running” has 35 topics and “food” has 28 topics.
That is how your blog has progressed. I hope that I can be half as successful as you are.
Roni! The same thing happened to me yesterday (without the toddler, though – lol). I was beat and stressed and tired and planned to make a low calorie version of this Archer Farms brand goat cheese, spinach, tomato pizza… and what did we do? We got pizza out. And the WHOLE time I was thinking – I should have just got my butt in the kitchen because I KNOW my version of pizza would be better for me and taste better too! Ugh!
Dinner is definitely the hardest part of my day.. so easy to fall off the wagon. Just gotta hop back on today, though :)
Great post, a reminder that we are indeed human, just make today a better day! Keep on keeping on…
We’ve all been there. like um, today…. McD’s for lunch with the kiddos. But I got a little brgr and sm. fries. so better right? ;)

Mandi, I was going to make a suggestion about your midnight munchies
Start your calorie day at midnight. So if you are consuming lets say 1,600 calories a day, or 24 points for example, once you start eating at midnight then deduct the day from there.
It could do two things. If you know you are starting to use your calories then, you may use them wisely, because they have to last 24 hours.
OR, you eat what you want, and then adjust throughout the day. Then you will never be over at midnight, because you have just begun!
I feel your pain. My 10 month old has decided she doesn’t want to nap anymore, my husband came home from work only to shut himslf in the office and make phone calls all night, and I wanted to eat the legs off the table. I didn’t, but even though I was good, I was mad at myself for even thinking about being bad. )o:
I went to the gym twice today and worked out all my aggression. I feel better today.
S
I did that last weekend. We ate a sensible dinner and then went to play poker with friends. I even took a very lovely veggie tray with reduced fat dip. But my friend busted out the ruffles and french onion dip. Plus the vodka. I had a 10 calorie mixer but vodka is not 10 calories. I had 4 drinks over the course of 5 hours and ate the chips all night long and I wasn’t even hungry. The next morning, I got up and made french toast and turkey bacon (I had 1 piece of the french toast and 3 strips of turk bacon). After a trip to the gym (where I very lazily rode a recumbant bike and read a magazine) I made lasagna and ate it and everything that wasn’t nailed down all day. The rest of the week has not been much better. I started training for a Sprint Triathlon on Monday. I am loving it but need to get my eating under control. My exercise is finally starting to look good in terms of what I am doing but my eating is crazytown. I don’t think I like to live out of balance but apparently I do… unless the balance is eating horribly and being a couch potato….
Breathe hon, you have every right to pick a pizza joint…as long as it’s not everynight or everyother night. Relax and enjoy yourself, sounds like you need some comfort food for destressing for the day.
Just stay smart and don’t overdo it! Hugs!
You slapping yourself on the forehead brought “should have had a V8″ to my brain ;).
I feel your pain! Pizza rules…I can veg it up, go without cheese…but my downfall is the crust :(
Totally! What gets me is when I have had a stressful day.
Been there, done that. Oh boy, have I ever.
But, screw it. Enjoy the pizza. The bloat will go away. Give yourself permission to indulge and move on tomorrow.
I had this same kind of day Wednesday. Spent all day working on a dinner for church. Didn’t eat much and when it was all over all I wanted to do was hit up Sonic. Now that I think about it “Yuck!”
