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 [...]

Great post, Roni! Thank you for sharing your story about choosing goal weight. I can definitely relate to how you felt :)
Hope your back is on the mend!
Yay an Ask Roni! It’s good to see your face! Hehe. :)
Hey Roni,
That first question was mine. Yay, I’m famous :) I gave up on the 133 number. It was too frustrating and it really didn’t make a difference. I am now about 140 depending on the day and I have settled on that is where my body wants to be. I was scale dependent in that I had an (unhealthy) obession with the scale. I would do it every day (sometimes twice a day-I know I was crazy!). I now weigh about 2x a month. Just to see. I don’t let it get to me anymore. Thanks for getting to my question. I still read your blog all the time and get excited when you have new “Ask Roni” videos! Thanks again :)
I love what you had to say about finding your weight goal. My body has really settled around a weight that was higher than the range for WW and after talking with my leader and doctor we determined to set it higher than the range and if I continued to lose that would be okay but I could reach goal.
Awesome video post!!
I totally get when you were describing how sometimes you just have to put as much in your mouth as quickly as possible sometimes..a binge. It’s become a problem for me the last year and I think I can tie it to stress and anxiety.
LOVED your idea about the eating a butternut squash..most of the time it’s not about what I’m eating but just that I want to eat alot..I get it!! Thanks for the healthy idea to channel the energy to at least eat something healthy! It’s so bizarre how our bodies react to stress.
I can’t watch this at work, but can’t wait to see the answers to these questions later tonight :) I’m in suspense!
OMG Roni, I can totally relate to the stress eating question! I am stressed out now and I have been wanting to eat eat eat!! I had a few days where I ate horrible foods without abandon. But afterward I felt so crappy and it totally wasn’t worth it. The funny thing is that I decided that squash would be my alternative also. I am totally making butternut squash!
I needed this Ask Roni today. Thanks so much and welcome back! Its great seeing you handling stress because I am in the same place right now.
BTW – I made WW goal a couple of months back and I have been having a hard time staying at my goal weight. (my body is comfortable right above the goal weight :( )
Roni, I have to say the BEST Ask Roni’s are the ones where you get a little misty eyed. It a sign you’re really uncovering something, and it means so much to you that you’re able to share that. So DON’T feel bad when you start getting a little emotional; it’s such a great reminder that someone else has been through the painful emotions so many of us are dealing with at this very moment.
I love the new ask Roni! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to these :)
You do an amazing job of remembering how you “used to” think before you have completely changed your life. That is not easy to do and lately I am finding it harder and harder to distinguish how I approached things when I started vs. how I do now.
Great job, fantastic video post and I hope you are feeling better soon. I have one of those machines and it’s called a “TENS” machine (if it’s the same as mine). Careful about using them for too long at a time though ;-)
I miss the beer pong poster!
That was a wonderful AskRoni that hit on a few topics I think a lot about! Thanks for taking the time to do it – it made me think all day long (and into today :-)
Roni- one of your best posts ever. thanks so much! Chris
Thanks for this post! I listened to the podcast while running on the treadmill last night. There’s something about talk radio I love…
Loved watching this. You’re so beautiful and honest. :)
Thanks Roni for giving of yourself once again. I love your videos.
Thanks Roni for answering my question about binge eating. I still struggle with it and am seeking professional help to deal with it.
BTW I just rediscovered butternut squash and look forward to making your fries with it.
