I just want to EAT! There I said it. Yesterday I made fun of the toddler for being a bottomless pit but I’m right there with him. I am going to write this post then go to bed… no procrastinating and eating to stay awake. I’ve been getting into some bad night time habits. The only way to change is to admit it, face it, and do something about it. :) OK… moving on. I actually have some other thoughts this week…
- My friend shot me this link to 10 yoga poses for runners. Apparently I’m a runner now. I keep forgetting. :) The toddler and I had fun going through the poses before my last run. Which, by the way, I skipped out today. My body needs a break, I’m so sore from my workout yesterday and previous runs. Plus I want to rest up for my 8 miles this weekend!! Yikes!
- Even though I’m taking a few days off from my training schedule doesn’t mean I can’t still do things to say active. Sahar shared 10 ways to get fit WHILE blogging on ProBlogger this week.
- Diet Blog had a interesting article about The 8 Most Overrated Health Trends. I think the article reinforces my thoughts on the whole "we over think" things. Eat healthy, get moving and don’t worry about the latest trends.
- Since I’m on a list kick I might as well post this one. Plus it kind of goes alone with the previous thought. Live Science has a Top 10 Bad Things That Are Good For You post. Being an "everything in moderation" girl. I found it fun.
- Ok, I feel I need to end the list of lists with something a little more…. ummmm… useful? So my last list link is America’s Top 10 Healthiest Diets. I think they should rename it America’s Top 10 "Healthiest Strategies for Living" but you know what they mean. :)
- This week on GreenLiteBites I experimented with a new muffin-ish idea and I can’t be happier with my Banana Oatmeal Cups with Chocolate Chips! I also made a husband pleasing dinner (hard to believe, I know), Simple Chicken Tips with Gravy. This weeks video was a simple Green Eggs and Ham idea for St. Patty’s!
- On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posted part 2 of my HTML That All Bloggers Should Know. This ones all about some basic HTML structures that can help format your posts. And today I peered into my future as I have no doubt I’ll have this conversation in my near future
- Looking for inspiration? I FINALLY published the Success Story on BlogToLose! Joni Learns to Love Herself No Matter her Size and Mary is No Longer a Victim. These women are amazing please leave a comment for them showing some support. Take it from me, it’s not always easy bearing your soul. :)
Ok, I think I’ve successfully emptied my brain on thoughts. I need sleep. :)

I Published a Cook Book!

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 [...]

Hey Roni,
Love the site! I’m in college so I love all of your food finds and grocery lists. Awhile back you mentioned an update to your Trader Joe’s shopping list, any idea on when that will be up?
Thanks!

Woohoo! I’m right there with you on being a bottomless pit lately… I blame it on the cold weather. I’m in TX, and it’s been about 30-45 degrees here and rainy the past few days… which is dang cold for us.
I’m going to check out those inspirational stories.
Some days I have those times when I want to eat. Other days, not hungry! I think it’s one of the joys of being a woman with hormones ;)
I so totally understand the ‘I just want to EAT’
I have been there for too long lately….telling myself I would get over it in my own time…..but if I’m being honest with myself (which we know is hard) it went on too long.
So, I went to bed last night telling myself I was going to start today and guess what?????? 19 points for the day! Now, I know I didn’t eat all my points, and I know it is important, but I though, what a great start! And I really wasn’t hungry today. If I’m honest (What’s with all this HONESTY…sheesh!) I don’t think my stomach has EVER been hungry…its my mouth!!!
Looking forward to another healthy 24 hours tomorrow….:-)
