I told you I’d be inspired to blog this week. I just can’t stay away. It’s an obsession. :) Anyway….
I had to pop in and tell you about the July race for my one running event per month goal this year. Yesterday I met JenInRL on the boardwalk in Atlantic City to run the Christmas in July 5k. It was awesome seeing Jen again after FitBloggin. I didn’t really get a chance to hang out with many during the conference. I was just too frazzled.
Anyway Here we are before the race…
We had a blast running this 5k! Jen did an amazing job for her first. We kept a great run/walk pace for the 3 miles and then I ran ahead so I can snap her crossing the finish line…
I was able to record the run on the Nike+ after picking up a new iPod before heading out for vacation. Did I tell you I fried my last one on sweaty run last weekend? I can’t remember, regardless, here’s our run….
Chart taken from Nike+ web site after sync. Click here to see how I did it.
After the race we walked down the boardwalk and decided on some Ben and Jerry sorbets. An amazing post race treat on quite a hot morning!
We split a small mango and a pomegranate. Both SUPER yummy!
I then returned to the family and had the most amazing beach day ever! It was pristine out. Nothing but blue skies for miles. The water was a fabulous 73 degrees, the waves are incredible and I got to enjoy it all with my fearless little man…
We spent more time in the water then out and I hope to do it all again today! I gotta go get ready… it’s 7AM and he’s already got his suit on. ;)
By the way.. took that video with the new phone. It’s amazing!
Oh! and the 5 year old quote of the day, yesterday was… "Beach! Here I come!" being screamed from the porch of our rental. LOL
Hope you are having a great week! I’ll be back again, I’m sure. :)

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 [...]

OMG! I LOL’d watching the boy get hit by that wave….looks like you all are having a blast…makes me wish i was at the beach!! but hey, i only live 3 hours away…maybe there’s a trip in my future! Have a wonderful time!
Isn’t summer great! Kids make it even better. Love your blog!
I love kid’s enthusiasm for the beach.
And how cool that The Salvation Army helped sponsor that race. I work for them and love it.
Yay Roni and Jen! Wish I could have been there with you guys!
Glad you’re having a wonderful vacay, Roni!
I new you would love the new phone! Video of your son is priceless!
Sadly there has not been much beach going this summer down in the Gulf. Your video makes me want to go.
What a great idea…. sometimes I have a tendency to just stop working out if I’m on vacation… but I never really thought of finding a 5K to do while I am out of town.
Thanks!

Now that is a priceless video! Glad you are having fun!
Awww, so fun! I’m glad you got to run a 5k with Jen! :)
We had a couple waves like that when we were down in OBX! One took ME out! Have an amazing time this week!
LOL that wave was kinda violent! I loved to get that wipeouts from waves as a kid =) I still do! So jealous of you guys, as I said to you on facebook, I’m freezing my butt down here!! Really cold winter in the south hemisphere. And you really should keep taking Bill to the beach for a tan, all day long. There’s white people, then there’s MJ, and then is the Edward guy from the Twilight movies, and then comes Bill LOL
That video is AWESOME! I was cracking up!!!!
“I got struck by a wave”LOL He rode that thing good though.
