How many of you are there?
Geesh! Give away a few books and everybody comes out of the wood work! 169 people have commented on my Weekend Update post so far. I think that’s a record. Honestly, I never really think about how many people read my blog until something like that happens. I mean, I know my stats from Analytics but I try not to focus on the numbers cause if I do… it totally freaks me out!
Anyway… *not trying to think about it… not trying to think about* today was a busy day. The little guy and I started out trying some new fruit (twice-long story)! Then he went off to "camp" and I packed ALL day jamming out to some music. The kitchen cupboards are almost bare. My winter clothes are boxed. Every book I own (that I’m keeping) is packed up and my living room is starting to look like a storage locker. I’m trucking along and making some progress although on the surface it doesn’t look like it.
This afternoon, the little guy and I hit our favorite candy store and split some chocolates. Then we came home, watched The Little Mermaid and I made up a new dish, One Pot Chicken with Mango and Couscous.
Tomorrow I have work. I should be in bed but I’m procrastinating for some reason. I don’t know why, nothing good ever comes from it. I already ate my weight in Dorritos. *sigh*
However! My lunch is packed. The kid’s lunch is packed. The kitchen is as clean as it could possible be considering my situation. Our clothes are laid out and I have tilapia defrosting for tomorrows dinner.
It’s all in the planning people. The planning. :)

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 [...]

Good job on the planning! I’ll have to get back to that… :)
I feel you on the Doritos, I ate my weight in anamial cookies the other day work all because I didn’t have a plan nor did I pack a lunch.
Good luck with move and packing…we are out growing are house and I’m putting off buying a new one all because I don’t feel like packing all the crap up!
animal cookies..sorry about that
I feel you food pain. I have 3 birthday parties in a row over the next 3 weekends and I LOVE cake the way you love pizza.
I’m eating leftover pizza (we had THREE) from Dh’s camp… sigh. Too hot to cook and it’s just. sitting. there. looking at me every time I open the fridge. Overwhelmed with being a single married mom right now and trying not to think about being gone for 2 1/2 weeks and everything that needs to be taken care of before/during/after our trip. aaaaaaack! Tilapia… should also make Tilapia. :)
I noticed all your comments. geez!

You are one BUSY woman, Roni. I’m sure you burned off most of the Doritos in all the packing and lifting. =)
I forgot to sign up for the drawing :(
There are probably thousands of “us” out there, as I read your blog daily (or I play catch up if I miss a day) for about the past year or so and I have never commented. So the 169 comments should probably be multiplied by 10 for those of us who read but don’t usually comment. I love your post and I admire your dedication. You are an inspiration to us all.
Yup. Your website is more popular than you think. I like to enjoy reading blogs more than constantly having to think of creative comments. Your blog is awesome tho.
It is all about planning for me too!
You have lots of readers! I also read daily or catch up once or twice a week on what I have missed :-)
