OK, Miss “I’m getting back to basics today”. What happened? You’re getting into that daily cycle of starting fresh in the morning.. doing great until dinner.. and then falling apart at night. It’s been going on for well over a week now. You see it. You recognize it. Yet you still just ate a half of bag of twizzlers. WHY?!? Cause they were there?
Come one now…. SNAP OUT OF IT!

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 [...]

Ha…I’ve been in the same pattern lately. I was fine the whole week until tonight but what can I say…those lucky charms were calling my name on the kitchen counter.
Word. lol I feel ya. I always do this, it’s such a hard habit to break. Especially when you’re in that mindset of, “I have a few calories left over…” and then you overdo it.
I did the same thing last night. Sigh. Maybe it was the power of Friday the 13th? My vacation and thus a bathing suit are 7 weeks away. I WILL NOT OVEREAT TODAY!!!!!
do you want me to text you periodically all.day.long? :)
you know that THEN means I txt you when I want the junkfoodsnack.
that’s how I started I lost 15 pounds and then slowly started not following the rules and points and now I am up from where I started from and decided to start all over like I did in the beginning and I have lost 5pounds this week . the diet works we just have to follow it. you motivate me everyday so hope I can help you. there are so many low point meals so plan and then if you crave something you still will have the points or make something up to snack on through the week that is low point snack or dessert.hope this helps
Maybe it’s time to get the danger foods out of the house (or at least make it very inconvenient to get to), and time to get to bed early, or make the decision that there will be NO eating after 8pm or whatever time you notice the eating starts. This night eating thing is a stage that you’ll find a way to get past, I’m sure of it.
But you know Roni, I’d love to see a positive, self empowering “Note to self” from time to time… whenever I see a post titled this, I know you’re about to come down on yourself.
Or… how about a “Things I did Right Today” post? I’m just thinking that when we start beating ourselves up over something, it adds to the cycle and then we find ourselves eating more.
Balance, right? :-)
Been there, done that! Hang in there Roni!
For me, I can’t have my trigger foods in the house – I can leave cookies all day long, but pretzels – no way!!
I don’t really feel ‘ I ‘ can give you any advice- you’ve been so capable on your own :) I just wonder when your last meeting was ? I find the meetings to be sobering and a reminder of all my goals. HTH
BTDT pretty much all day yesterday! Ate all my extras if not more. Now I’m trying my darndest to stay in my points for the rest of the week (til tomorrow) even with 2 dinner parties at my house. Good thing I have yummy recipes that anyone would eat!
Its me from yesterdays post……on day 2 and I ate 24 points. Only 1 over. That’s TREMENDOUS for me lately. i am a night eater too…..
I have many weaknesses….but one of my favorite are PEEPS…yes….sugar on top of a cute shaped marshmallow creature…I mean, c’mon…how is ONE innocent looking chickie or bunny going to hurt? Or two….or three….or you know….a WHOLE pack is only 6 points! 6 POINTS!!!
That’s how it goes….
well today? No peeps……they didn’t call my name yesterday, or today, and I may just have to tell my son I’m throwing them away.
I just thought of something funny….
its been two days and I haven’t heard (c’mon – you know it coming) a PEEP out of them!
ha ha
he he
ho ho
It must just be “That time of year” because everyone seems to be this way lately…
I completely feel you on this post! This sums up my eating habits lately :) Why is it we can feel so energized and committed in the morning and then everything just falls by the wayside at night? I guess all we can do is take it one choice at a time…
I feel your pain!!! I’m the queen of “I’ll start tomorrow”.
Do you think it’s the extra running that’s actually increasing your appetite? Or maybe that you’re rocking so much with all the exercise that you’re giving yourself a pass to eat more snacks? Don’t beat yourself up – just try to figure out what it is that’s making you want to do that late in the evening.
I do and you know.. I really don’t think I’ve learned to account for it yet. I’ll figure it out. :)
