I had a crappy day. It took me 2 HOURS to get home from work. The traffic was horrendous. Thankfully I had leftovers in the fridge to whip up a quick dinner or I might have fallen prey to the husbands Pizza request. Ohhhh how tempting it was but it was healthier, cheaper and faster for me to cook. Really.. it was.
After dinner we did get in a nice family walk and some family time in the back yard before heading in to watch Scooby Doo. That made me feel better. :)
Once little guy went to bed I posted my new Sweet Mini Meatball Idea on GreenLiteBites and then I decided it was time for ice cream. Sometimes you just need ice cream. Especially after a looooong day.
So I measured out 1/2 a cup of chocolate frozen yogurt, topped it with frozen wild blueberries and some fresh strawberries with a small squirt of light chocolate syrup.
It was DELICIOUS! And so how I wanted needed to end my day. Oh! and only about 150 cals… 3WWPs!
Now I’m off to bed. I’m getting up early again tomorrow.

Sometimes I'll make something and then get obsessed, making it over and over and over again. It happened twice last week. First with The Most Amazing Bowl of Oatmeal EVER! I now have to stop myself from eating it every single morning. I decided to make a deal with myself [...] -
Four years ago I posted a photo journal of "The Toddler" and I making pizza. FOUR YEARS AGO! Click here to see it. Honestly, it's blowing my mind for 2 reasons. 1.) I can't believe how old my baby is and 2.) I can't believe I get to do it all over again with [...] -
I'm not kidding. I could not believe how good this was. A warm bowl of heaven. The combination of banana and chocolate chips is a favorite of mine. Add in just a touch of peanut butter and it's the perfect trifecta. Not only did it taste amazing, it filled me [...] -
I can't say enough good things about this book. The author doesn't hit you over the head with stead fast rules or try to sell some new catch phrase approach -- if I hear the phrase baby-led weaning one more time my head is going to explode -- she simple shares her thoughts, experiences and [...] -
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. [...]

My former RD told me, “You don’t eat ice cream because you’re hungry. You eat ice cream because it tastes good.” and basically I shouldn’t feel guilty about it because everyone loves ice cream.
I agree, sometimes you just need ice cream. So enjoy :)
That looks so very good! No ice cream in my house yet… since I am pretty sure I would eat entirely too much. But I did see that Breyers now makes a mint chip yogurt and might have to give that a try.
I’m still buying the super expensive single servings for my family.
But that’s okay. It’s helping me re-calibrate.
Do you make chocolate almond milk? Or buy it premade?
LOL, even on Medifast, I’ve been making “ice cream” out of their pudding plus ice. You’re right, it is one of those necessary things once in awhile!
Sorry you had a crappy day but at least you got an adorable picture out of it. :-)
It’s true. I rarely have so when I do (only when I have those cravings and really know that I want it) it’s just so good! :)
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan so sorry you had a crappy day, Woman.
and as always you reign victorious and PICTORIOUS :)
love the photo.
I have 45 minutes of childcare today :)
will see if youhappen to be free!
I had ice cream last night too, Fat Free Breyers. It was just one of those ice cream kinda days.
Gwen – I’m buying it right now.. haven’t had time to make my own although I’d love to experiment with the perfect chocolate recipe. :)
Good job! Sounds like you did the best you could. Sorry you had a crappy day. And yes, sometimes you just NEED ice cream.
Mmm! I want that now! Breakfast or lunch!
A co-worker just told me this morning about these new Skinny Cow ice cream cups that are only 2-3 WWPs for the whole container. I can’t wait to try them!
Some days are just like that. I had a crappy day and ate a ton of strawberries with yogurt and blueberries. O and the ton of granola on top.
I would much rather eat at home most nights, I can make a healthier more filling meal than what I would get in most restaurants.
Cute photo!
Roni,
One of the cool things about blogging is connecting to people from all over the world. I’ve gotten a real kick out of reading some posts on your blog. This one about ice cream and pizza touched a nerve for me because they are both weaknesses of mine. I’m still thinking about making my little boy a chocolate milkshake yesterday and battling my willpower so that I didn’t make enough for both of us. Sometimes, you do just need ice cream. Thanks for reminding me I am not alone. All the best to you…
Roni, Congratulations on your exciting news. Here’s mine. I had chocolate ice cream with my little boy tonight and enjoyed it despite the guilt. : )
