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... [...]

I think your idea for the new way to do the Ask Roni questions sounds good. I would definitely enjoy listening. And it doesn’t work out the way you wanted, you can always go back.
I am also a four year maintainer and am wired for pts. I too figure my pts the same way. I will figure sandwiches by ingredient not by total calories but I do round up for the misc. When I make a recipe I make columns on a paper and list everything out with the NI and then divide out how much it made sometimes I will even weigh it rather than measure. I like this approach with things like pasta dishes and such then I don’t over stuff my measuring cup. Great ask Roni.
Roni,
I absolutely LOVE you! I just found out that I’m pregnant (I can’t believe I’m telling the blog world this before most of my family even knows), and I’ve been wondering about what I should and shouldn’t be eating. I’m so afraid that I’m going to gain back the 70 pounds I lost during weight watchers, and I know that I can’t be in that kind of mindset now that I’m pregnant. Your answer to the question made so much sense to me, and I really appreciate it.
Thanks so much for all you do-you are the best!
I don’t think you were babbling! Lots of good information.
For those with access to the WW site, use the recipe builder, its great throw all the ingredients in and find out per serving points. Or change the ingredients and/or servings to come up with the points you want it to be. Like Roni I count things like bread per meal not through out the day, but I do have a friend who counts the whole for the day, she lost 80 pounds last year and for her as she got to lower points targets having to total her bread for the day deterred her from a 3rd or 4th slice.
As someone working on getting pregnant thank you for your very sensible approach to pregnancy eating, sounds very reasonable especially as I am not at goal yet. And I agree that the blogging community provides a great sense of motivation and having a blog starts to make you motivate not just for yourself but for others when your own personal motivation might be low.
Thanks again for all your inspiration Roni.
I LOVE the color of your walls!!! Sorry, I know that’s totally unrelated but I’m a bit obsessed with color. Yeah, it’s about as much of an issue for me as eating. Would you be willing to share the color name and paint maker? :-)
Congrats Anne Marie!!
Talysa – I’m pretty sure it’s something Thyme by Duron but I can’t remember. :) It’s in the neutral.. a gray green mix. Like a sage… always one of my favs!
Thank you!!
The issue about being overconfident really hit home. I’m also in that comfort zone right now. Which is awful because I’m nowhere close to the fitness level I want to achieve. Just because I’m starting to run for 30 minutes 3-4 times a week is not an excuse to not cross-train and be more fit and active. I guess I just have to be motivated. And the attitude! I shouldn’t forget about that.
Had RNY gastric bypass weight loss surgery on March 2009. It wasn’t an easy decision but the right one for me. I still have a lot of the same questions and concerns that a lot of your readers have, and still have to be consistent on my post surgery nutrition and supplements. So far, am glad to have made the decision.
LOVE your idea…the more videos the better. They are so encouraging to me.
I am new at your site and I really love it! I’m always tired or have some other excuse. After watching your motivation video I finally see what I have to do. (I already new ofcourse but didn’t want to see it) I now have courage to begin again and hopefully I will lose weight. Thanks for inspiring me!
A plea for people to think about the ethics of buying maternity clothes. Let’s face it, if you’re going to bring a child on this planet, it’s only right to make sure the planet is in a good state! Therefore please try and consider, for example, the cloth the clothes are manufactured from, the conditions of the employees where they’re manufactured and the green credentials of the clothes retailer. Oh, and endeavour to share, rather than discarding. Thanks!!!!
