It’s been a loooong day. Actually, it’s been a long week! But I didn’t want to go to bed without posting a Thursday Thoughts post. I’m trying to get back into the groove with them. So here goes.. excuse my shortness and what I’m sure is more typos then normal, …
- Ever wonder why Why we eat when we’re not hungry? Click here to read a few theories. My favorite… The couch (sour cream-topped, butter-slathered) potato effect.
- My strategy for the TV munch… Got with a healthy option. Here are a 9 Healthy Treats from Food Bloggers. Psssst check out who’s number 2. ;)
- Maybe instead of munching we should play a little game? How about the TV Workout Challenge? LOVE this!
- For those that want possible take their workouts form the living room to the pavement may I present the The Couch-to-5K Running Plan. Tiffany insisted on it. ;)
- As for me and the running. I’m going to attempt 6 miles tomorrow before work. It will be my longest run this year and probably the longest one I’ll squish in before the half marathon next weekend. This weekend I have a 6K (3.7 miles) which will be my official April event for this years running goals.
- On GreenLiteBites this week Little Guy and I recorded ourselves making Whole Wheat Banana Muffins and tonight I Simply Roasted Brussels Sprouts.
- For my fellow WordPress Bloggers, on SkinnyMinnyMedia I just post 5 WordPress Plugins I can’t live without.
- And lastly… drum roll please… I FINALLY posted one of the presentations from the FitBloggin’10 conference on the FitBloggin’ Blog. I hope to get all of the sessions up within the next two weeks. For a list of the sessions from the conference click here for the old agenda. Side note: The first one I posted was about book publishing. I have started a proposal for one AND I’m meeting with my designer again to finish the cookbook this summer. Things are a happening!
- And just one more link because I really need some help with this.
Ok, here’s the food journal. I got to go! Running clothes are on and I need a good night sleep for my 6 miles tomorrow morning!

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

Today I did the day 1 of week 7 from the couch-potato-to-5K and may I add it’s all your fault! I hated running (I might still hate it a bit) but your posts about running and a little question you answer me in the formspring.me page (I bet you forgot about your formspring page again!) made me try a little run. Next thing I know I signed to a 6K, spend a lot of money in running shoes and gear and use my Iphone to track my rutes. So now I’m running 4K without stopping and have almost a month to add up 2 more K’s. It is a lot fun!
Wohoo for the 6K and the 6 miler! There’s a 5K this weekend. I’m still debating whether or not to do it because I have 3 races in May. Bah. Running is addicting.
And yummy kettle corn :)
Congrats on the kettle corn. Good job! Let us know how you do for the 6k and 6 miler.
can’t wait to go over to fitbloggin to see the video.
good luck in your 6-miler and 6k!
