I got nothin’. I’m serious. Out of gas. Head is completely empty. All I have is personal updates. Sorry to disappoint.. next week I’ll have double links. Promise!
As for me… Well… let’s start with this morning’s run. The first once since I’ve been sick. I have NO idea where it came from but I ran my fasted mile ever! 8:58 AND I finished 5 miles in about 46:30. The funny thing.. I thought I was running slow? lol it was weird feeling.
Not much on GreenLiteBites this week. Just a soup I made to help me feel better, Sweet Pepper and Hot Sausage Soup, and this weeks video, Homemade Apple Pie Oatmeal (the toddler is in rare form.. this one is a must see.)
On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posted a comic that is surely a glimpse of my future, a post about when to post on your blog and a video about social media and ice cream.
Fun updates.. I FINALLY got a hand me down microwave! YAY! Although I was getting used to not having one, I love having my microwave popcorn back. It was really the only thing I missed. As for house.. I’ve had a few showings but no buyers.. YET! I’m trying to keep my hopes up. :) Anyone looking for a house in Maryland? I know a place, close the highway, easy commute to Baltimore, nice community. ;~P
ok.. I’m signing off. I’ve been dreaming about a VitaTop and a chocolate soy milk snack since starting this post. :~) Which reminds me I would post my food journal but twitter lost a few of my entries today. :( Which sucks because I recommitted to keeping my food journal today and I did a really good job!
Oh well… Good Night!

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 [...]

At least you have had showings! Not a one in two weeks. Won’t anyone ever want to buy our house? We had hoped to be moved by beginning summer, now I’ll be happy if it happens THIS year. Ugh!
ok…I recomitted to staying on track and keeping my journal last Friday
and…..
I did IT!
I’ve been on my points or a few less EVERY day……
I can not tell you the last time that happened!
I lost 5 lbs this week……
so now comes the hard part…the remaining 8 that I gained…(the first week is always a GREAT loss isn’t it??)and of course – getting back to the exercise routine. Baby steps. I forget that when you ‘surrender’ to the program and do what they say, you get empowered….:-) Who knew that surrendering and empowering could be used for the same thing.
Looking forward to another great week!!!
LOL your title made me do a double take (did I just see what I thought I saw lol).
Still, even with no “thoughts” and being sick, you had an eventful, empowered week. Hope you’re feeling better now… you must be, with that run!
laurieann – I just keep telling myself… “all it takes is one buyer… all it takes is one buyer.” The problem with the showings is every time I have one I get my hopes up only to find out what the hated about the house. It’s depressing. :( Good luck and keep me posted!
me – AWESOME!!! The momentum is ow going in your direction.. just keep it up! I love the surrender/empowering… you’re right it is a strange relationship.
Thanks Suzyn! The cold is still lingering but I’m mushing through! :)
ROFL, Roni, the comic strip is EXACTLY what I told my parents when they called last weekend :D My mom complained I’ve been calling home less (it’s a very busy time in college for me now) and I told her, “You can read my blog posts. Please coment.” :)
Roni,
I ordered my first batch of VitaTops… I call them VitaBrownies and they were SO good! Even the husband was impressed! Last night, as I was eating one, I was like “there’s no way these are only OnE point!” I literally got up to recheck my points calculator because they are such a fabulous snack! Thanks.
Ps. I also purchased almond milk from my grocery store but haven’t gotten the guts to try it! ;) I’ll let you know!
I love your running updates. I’m having shoe issues, because I live and hour and a half away from the nearest Wal-Mart, let alone a running store. Mine are okay, but I can tell they just aren’t the right ones, because I can’t run as far or as long without aches that didn’t used to be there. *sigh* It’s frustrating.
Sorry that things aren’t going as quickly as you want on the home selling front. Ours was on the market for 7 months but we just finally sold it and will be closing next week. I’m not superstitious (or Catholic) but someone told us to get a statue of St. Joseph and bury it in our yard. It sounds completely crazy but I was desperate and tried it. I buried it in my flower box about 5 minutes before a showing and got an offer that same night. It was the best $10 that I ever spent!
