. . . a caregiver to my little man. He hasn’t been been feeling well so we camped out at home all day.
. . . a bottomless pit. Note sure what’s up with me the last couple of days. I swear I could just eat and eat and eat and it has nothing to do with hunger. It’s just a desire to consume even when I’m quite full.
. . . an Ikea assembler. Putting together 4 pieces of furniture for the new house. This one by far my favorite…
. . . a home cook. Making homemade meatballs and big ole’ pot of sauce.
. . . a host. My close friends made it down to check out the new house! YAY!
. . . a motivator. Challenging my fellow BlogToLoser’s to stay concious through the holiday week.
. . . Relaxing. I took a bath, cuddled with the boy, watched a movie with the husband. It has been a wonderful day. :)

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

You’ve been busy!!
I have that set of shelves, let me just say…yours is looking a bit more organized than ours. :)
That is ONLY because it’s new. lol
I hope your little guy is feeling better. A hot bath and epsom salt have been my thing this week – I started The 30 Day Shred and have been very sore. Thank goodness for a hot bath…:-) Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
What a day! I can totally relate to the first two — the sick little one and the bottomless pit. Those sound like my WEEK! Hope yours snaps out of it faster than mine did.
The ikea books shelves look beautiful in your house! Hope Ryan feels better soon!
I’ve got the expedit shelves too! I use it as a room divider in the loft and it’s the bomb!
bottomless pit, you want to eat and eat and eat? hmmmmm, me thinks you better add a pg test to that list when you’re out and about on your busy day. ;o)
Haha, I was going to say the same thing Jan did! ;-) funny, I haven’t been feeling well either. I think that really worries us all these days, doesn’t it?! I hope he feels better!
I have been in those bottomless pit stages before. Just be careful it doesn’t get out of hand…but stress could be a big part since you have been extremely busy.
Anyway, I also am a huge fan of IKEA. I need to make a trip there for a new coffee table….
So sorry you little man isn’t feeling well. I hope he feels better today. And those meatballs sound fabulous. I just checked out the post :-)
I’ve been wanting to be a bottemless pit today again. Didn’t do so well yesterday. Need to mark on my calendar when this happens. I’m sure it coincide with something. Went spinning to try not to do that again today! Hope your little one feels better.
I feel like we are on the same wavelength….when you blog that you are cranky, I am cranky…when you can’t stop eating just to eat, I am going through the same thing!
I feel very helpless sometimes when I can’t seem to eat enough!
That’s so crazy, I have been a bottomless pit for exactly two days as well! I had been eating amazingly healthfully for a while, but then today and yesterday were absolutely ridiculous. Actually, beyond ridiculous. Roni, what do you do to get out of eating this way? How do you change this before it becomes a habit? Do you ever feel like you have to do something to “reverse” the damage you’ve done? That’s where I am right now. I will NOT make this a habit! But instead of eating healthfully tomorrow, I want to fast/detox because I feel like I’ve done so much damage. Blah. Hate this feeling!
hey roni! i have those shelves too! i bought a bunch of canvas bins at target in cream, red and light green… i put it in my basement to hold my kids’ 10000 toys. :) it is the BEST – if it gets scratched, i just use a sharpie to cover it up! enjoy – great purchase.
Mattison – Don’t do it!! Out of all the things I learned these past couple of years dropping that mentality has been one of the most important.
what do you do to get out of eating this way?
I don’t beat myself up! I simply prepare for the next day the best I can.
How do you change this before it becomes a habit?
I know from experience that this feeling will pass. Even though I feel out of control I’m still making good decisions… making my own pizze vs. ordering. Choosing egg white omelet over a regular. These little things add up and these decisions are no healthy habits. I won’t lose them just because I ate a few extra calories for a couple of days.
Do you ever feel like you have to do something to “reverse” the damage you’ve done?
YES! I feel it but I don’t act on it anymore. I simply make my next choice a better. It’s all about balance. It’s NOT about perfect. Fasting will not undo anything it will only perpetrate the yo yo cycle.
Blah. Hate this feeling!
SO DO I! :)
