Yesterday morning I made statement on twitter about not eating out…
fridge is stocked.. lunch is made.. dinner planned.. don’t care how busy this week is WE ARE NOT EATING OUT! there I said it! can I do it?
We have seriously been eating out way too much and not only do I hate it for dietary reason it’s becoming financially impossible.
So Monday I made our last trip to the grocery store before our big move. We closed on the house last week but we are taking two weeks to have it painted. We officially move in September 16 (if all works out as planed.) (pssst… sneak peak at my new kitchen over on GreenLiteBites)
I stocked us up on fresh veggies, a few sale protein sources and some sides. Paired with what I have in stock we should be able to swing it. Yesterday I made burgers, tonight a sweet and sour scallop stir-fry, tomorrow turkey tacos. I’m brining leftovers to lunch and purchased a few sale Lean Cuisines as they are much cheaper then buying on campus.
Friday and Saturdays are our "planned" dinning out nights. Although I’m going to see if I can get the husband to give up one of those days. He loves to eat out probably more then I love to cook. :)
So on to these winners! Sorry I’m late announcing. It totally slipped my mind and honestly most of my attention has been going to planning not only my meals but the FitBloggin conference!

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 [...]

Roni..Enjoy you SO much; your so real…Goodnight…Reese~
I know you dont really count “points” anymore but that seems like not very many points at all…..do you normally eat like that or was it just a busy day (that happens to me I am so busy I dont eat much and then I am not hungry later cause I am just so tired) Just curious I am really struggling right now and just trying to get a glimpse into successful members =D
You can do it! Stick to your guns and before you know it the week will be over! Oh and the new kitchen looks awesome!
Awesome kitchen! Good job on the planning too :)
Good for you, Roni! My problem is that I like eating out as much as my husband does. But since I stay home with the kids, we don’t have the money to eat out like we did when I worked. We stick to going out on the weekends ~ which is when I let myself eat whatever I’m craving at the time, so it works out well.
Your kitchen looks great! Can’t wait to see you working in it!
Jenna – that’s a pretty low day for me. I’m trying to balance out all the eating out my so back to some lower point days even though I’m not counting points. That really is a good example day of what/how I ate while losing. Although, keep in mind I’m not really posting serving sizes! Oh! and I did forget my lunch someone… just added it!
Thanks!
You’re new kitchen looks great. I have some scallops in my freezer and the boyfriend is out of town this weekend so your sweet and sour scallops might be my dinner on Sat. Thanks ofr sharing!
You can do it! Once you get in a habit of eating out for convenience it is hard to stop. But you can do it! Your food always looks so great so I’m sure this little challenge you gave yourself will be enough of a push to actually do it :-)
I find that when the husband and I plan dinners out it’s easier to turn down eating out. For example if we KNOW we are going to eat out on Saturday it’s easier to say – let’s just wait until Saturday as opposed to saying “we aren’t eating out for a month..” It’s like losing weight – you gotta have moderation!
Katie, Such a better way to look at that goal! I love it. Now… if I can only get hubby to CARE about the meal planning. :)
