Ok, I couldn’t help myself. When I thought about posting all the links I gathered for this weeks Thursday’s Thoughts post on Friday (I totally ran out of time on Thursday) that scene and song popped into my head.
Anyways… I do have some thoughts today. Actually A LOT of thoughts so bear with me. If I lose you before the end I’ll totally understand. Here goes. . .
- I stumbled across, Curious: How Healthy Are Frozen Diet Meals? and I had to share. If you looked back at my old food journals (the ones on paper) you’d see quite a few entries of pre-packaged frozen foods scattered through out. When I started on this lifestyle change they were a baby step for me. An easy way to eat a meal where the points and nutritional information where all ready nice and calculated out for me. I’ve moved on and I’m glad to rid myself of all that extra salt but MAN I miss those little french bread pizzas. ;)
- If frozen meals aren’t your thing may I interested you in some Chili Peppers. Apparently they help us lose weight (paired with a low calorie diet of course.)
- Moving into the blog world Deanna, The Unnatural Mothers hears the same voices I think many of us do.
- Tina from Carrots ‘N Cake did a "I Bet You Didn’t Know" post that I thought was simply genius. You can bet I’ll be doing one and I think it would be so fun to start a meme. I’ll work on a small graphic and if you have a blog I hope you’ll play a long. Look for that next week.
- One blog I’m honored to get a mention on is DietBlog. They recently linked me up in the post Link Time! Natural Foods, Lane Bryant Banned, and More
- There SO much good stuff going on over at BlogToLose I can’t even begin to link to everyone but I do love when people pat themselves on the back AND come to realizations, especially running realizations. (boy how I can relate) :)
- Speaking of Running.. This weekend I’ll be in Pittsburgh struggling through my second half marathon. I’m not ready but I’m also not freaking out. I’m running with an old friend and we are just going to have fun with it. I may tweet now and then but I’m making no promises. If you happen to be in “The Burgh” keep an eye out for me. I’ll be wearing the same shirt I wore in the marathon. I’m gonna need all the cheering I can get! oh and I heard it may rain. :(
- More on running… I’m doing well on my 2010 running goals so far and I think I found my June race, The Survivor Harbor 7. I haven’t registered yet but I’m planning to once I verify the weekend works for me. I’m also hunting for events for the rest of the year. I’m open to suggestions as long as they are in Maryland or close by. :)
- Just 2 posts on GreenLiteBites this week, Oat Crusted bay Scallops with Peas and Brown Rice and a Vitalicious Chocolate-Banana Marbled Brownie Cake Video Post.
- As for FitBloggin’ I’m still working on getting the details down for the next conference. In the meantime I hope to be posting weekly guest posts from my fellow bloggers. First up, Pastaqueen with a great post about How to start a healthy living blog.
- I did post on SkinnyMinnyMedia this week about what it means to be a blogger. I really do have a lot of thoughts on that subject and my job at UMBC might be helping me explore them a bit more.
- Work… hmm there’s a thing I’ve been pondering for some time (which is probably a cause for my recent funk) and I should probably write a whole post on. Long story short I’m into a lot of things right now and every time I try to lighten my workload I somehow get another idea I want to explore. It’s like a disease.
- That said.. I am writing sample chapters for a book proposal and I hope to get the self-published cookbook out by the end of the year. Yes… I am crazy. But I’m having fun! :)
Ok, was the enough thoughts for ya? I’m off. I have to pack for my trip to Pittsburgh. I’ll be back Sunday with a full details. :)

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 [...]
