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 [...]

Ahh…..garbage in, garbage out! Totally hit home. I’m really trying to eat less processed stuff. I’ve got a few long running races on my calendar and I know this will make me feel better, run better, yada yada….Knowing and doing are two totally different things!!
And the working at home and every day is a weekend! What a great way to put it. I’ve had the hardest time losing the “baby weight” since I’ve been working at home. (I previously lost 25-30lbs on WW’s before I got married and had a baby.) And I honestly think working at home is harder on the eating front that working in an office with a pre-packed bag of snacks and food.
I especially liked your answer to the first question – it’s definitely something I needed to hear right now. I really struggle a lot with that all-or-nothing mentality. One of the things I notice about you is that you have confidence (not only a positive body image and things like that) but also in yourself and your ability to “regain control” (for lack of a better term). It seems like the question for you is not “Will I actually ever get back on track?” but “I know I will soon be back on track. How soon will I do that?” I don’t know if that make sense. But for me, being very early in the weight loss process (early in terms of making lasting changes), in the back of my mind I have a lot of questions about whether or not I really can do this. I’m not sure what my point is – I guess that I need to work on that, and thanks for helping me see that. I’m trying, but it’s not something you can directly work on. It’s more a byproduct of other things.
By the way, I love the question about the poster – I had always wondered about it. I love her guesses!
Oh, and my favorite recipe of yours is definitely the Southwest Turkey Burgers – I make them all the time. I make a whole bunch at once, and then freeze them. In the mornings I cook them on my George Foreman and take them to work for lunch.
roni don’t know if you get TLC but a new series of cook yourself thin comes on at 5:00 here . just really loved the show and liked that they used real foods that people have to lower the caloies. you can get the recipes at mylifetime.com. need to check it out

I haven’t had time to catch it yet!
I really liked your section on “Too Tired to Workout”. Scheduling time to workout is the hardest part of working out. As long as I can find the time, I love the workout itself. My problem is that I want to do too much. I want to run 5 days a week. I want to do weights 3 days a week. I want to do yoga at least once a week. And then there is a step class and a zumba class at my gym at work at lunchtime that I just LOVE. As long as I can find time to do everthing I want (specifically the runs and the weights), my week goes very well. But if I miss one piece, I end up disappointed and more likely to skip another workout! Ironic, huh. But its along the same lines as once you have something “bad” giving up on the plan for the rest of the day/week. Oh well. Its good to know that I’m not the only one!
I so needed all of these topics today!
Thanks Roni for another great video post! BTW, Congrat’s on the new job. It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
– Life happened!—
Check out my blog!! :-)
Hey Roni,
Thanks so much for answering the question. I agree with the fact that it is necessary to get the Exercise done first thing in the morning. I mean for a person like me it is very easy to keep my exercise last among my priorities. And then when I am exhausted at the end of the day, I have nothing but to just say NO to exercise. I think getting it done first thing in the morning will really help not bailing out of it!
My name is problem for everyone to pronounce, it is pronounced like Bianca.
You so have hit the nail on the head with these topics. About the do you still have eating issues. I so relate. I know that I will always have eating “issues” but the question is – Am I controlling it or is it controlling me. My stuff the pie hole days are definetely cyclic and come at the same time every month and I know this but it is still a struggle. I just try to stuff it with low pt/cal options. About the poster,funny I thought it was something to do with pool. We played quarters with beer not beer pong. Favorite recipe – I really need to try those turkey burgers my family is straight meat only so I guess that is what is holding me back. My staple Roni recipe is banana pancakes. About weekend,I too have always saved my pts for the weekend. This seems to work out well since we are pretty routine all week. Lastly about the exercise. When I first started to exercise I had a “walking buddy” we walked together whenever we could get together or did exercise videos together. Then summer hit and I knew I needed to go when it was cooler so I started going by myself in the early morning and I have not gone back since. I run now and love it. I have expanded to other things as well. I love that I can check it off my list. I am like you I look at everyone else getting up and I have had a four mile run done,a load of laundry,and had a shower all before 7 am. I am dead by 10 pm however.
Great topics.
I loved your answer to the first question. I think the all-or-nothing/black and white thinking is a large part of eating issues. We are always trying to do everything so perfectly and that is so unrealistic, we’re just people, not robots! It’s much more forgiving to take each situation as it comes and try to make the best choice possible in the moment. If we overeat, forgive ourselves and move on to the next opportunity.
I can totally relate to the overwhelming urge to eat! When I feel that way, I try to remember that I have five senses to tell me about the physical world and I have emotions to tell me about the world inside of me. If I can be curious about why I want to eat when I am not hungry, I might find some long term solutions or tactics to handle my eating issue. I usually find that I am having anxiety about something and I am eating to avoid it. It’s a VERY difficult habit to break.
Roni,,I know you did your Podcast before Tueday but last night on the Biggest Loser, which I feel is a reality show that is very good (a little too much drama sometimes) Jillian talked about the exact same thing meaning finding BALANCE..I think she said you can’t eat melba toast the rest of your life, you have to live and find balance..Your great..enjoy your sincerity..Suzan
