This is going to be super quick. I’m falling asleep watching The Mentalist and I refuse to stay up any later as all I want to do is eat. Not because I’m hungry but because I’m tired. I think I’ve been doing that a lot lately.
Anyway, some quick bullet point updates. . .
- This weekend I’m taking the husband to Atlantic City for his birthday. We haven’t gone all year with the move and the new job it was just too much. I’m totally looking forward to a couple a days away. Between holiday shopping, work, blogging and all the other stuff I’m exhausted as I’m sure you are all too. It’s just a crazy time of year.
- Speaking of work, tomorrow I find out the future of the SpeakHealth project I’ve been doing for work. I’ve built the site and have been posting there for about 2 months. It’s been fun blogging at my job and I hope we get to continue with the project. Fingers are crossed.
- I also posted over on We Are the Real Deal about trees. It’s kind of a long story you’ll have to check it out over there.
- This week on GreenLiteBites, I posted a long video where I make a Pearl Onion and Mushroom dinner from start to finish and last night I whipped up a fun salad using spinach and fennel.
- Fitbloggin has also had some major announcements recently. We welcomed POM as a sponsor and announce Dave Grotto as our keynote!
- Let me leave you with my new running mix and my food journal. I’m trying REAL hard to keep an honest journal through the holiday. It’s not about being "good" or "bad." It’s about being HONEST with myself.
Here’s the mix. . .

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
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 [...]

“frankly… i can’t wait until the holidays are over!” Uh my sentiments exactly! Part of me is having fun enjoying all the extra treats…but the other part of me knows I’ll have to make up for my lax attitude soon enough, and I can’t wait until things are back to normal and there isn’t sweets and yummy treats at literally every turn! It’s nuts :-)
Thanks for posting your Vitatop code. I was planning to order but couldn’t find or remember your discount code! I’m off to order now… Thanks!
I agree, being honest with yourself is key – it is so not about being good or bad, it’s about being realistic and managing those expectations. You are doing fantastic!
Honesty is always the best policy :)
Just do what feels good. Which does not mean go crazy. It means remembering what it might feel like AFTER you go crazy! Enjoy what you can, enjoy your family and your friends, and don’t beat yourself up. Life is way too short!
OH and great mix!!
Uprising, by Muse! Clearly we have more in common than food tastes.
That song is very political — did you know? — very anti-environmental. Green = red, says Muse. It suits my libertarian views.
Can I just say I’m LOVIN, LOVIN, LOVIN your iTunes tracks!!! We have a lot of the same tastes in music. Thanks for new ideas, I was really getting sick of the same ole same ole. :)
Used your playlist for the gym this morning! It was really nice to have something new and different to work out too! Thanks for posting it. <3
I live in Jersey and we are having a major snow storm this weekend that is blanketing the state. I hope you were able to make it to AC this weekend. (and won heaps of money!) Drive safely!!!
I’m excited about FitBloggin even though I’m not special enough to be doing anything. Haha.
I hope you are enjoying the snow you got this weekend!
I’m ready for the holidays to be over too.
just wanted to say i love your blog(s), i have been checking in occasionally for at least a couple years but recently became a regular reader. thank you for the ongoing inspiration :)
liz
Mary… “Special enough” Come on now. I’m trying here.
I made it AND won loads of money! :)
Home safe and sounds but had a blast!
Weeee! You have Muse in your mix. I love their songs. Will refresh my memory on that song.
