Sorry for my absence. I’m sick. I mean really sick. High fever, cough, sore throat, chills, my nose even spontaneously started bleeding tonight. It totally freaked me out.
I’m not going to lie. I’m worried. Worried about the baby. Worried about not being to finish up projects at work before Friday. Worried that I didn’t post yesterday. Worried that my crazy schedule and lack of sleep has finally caught up with me.
BAH!
I’m done worrying. As a wise friend of mine once told me…
“Worrying is praying for what you don’t want to have happen”
Off to bed. Tomorrow will be better.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?
-
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...]

Roni…I hope that you are totally better in the morning!
Oh man, Roni. Feel better soon!
Hoping you get well quickly.
I hope that you are resting. Focus on getting better, that is top priority. Hugs!
Relax! It’s just bronchitis. Even with a fever, your body can manage to homeostasis just fine. After all, our bodies had been perfected for thousands and thousands of years!
You probably burst a small vessel in your nose. No biggie. Remember: you’re not in the island of Lost and the sky hasn’t lighted up and you’re not travelling through time!! I just had to make a Lostie reference =D
Feel better soon! Lots of ♥ to you.
sending you hugs….feel better soon Roni!
Saying a little prayer that you can sleep peacefully tonight and wake up feeling better tomorrow.
Worrying will only make things worse. I found out I was 4 days pregnant because I had a tick bite and got lyme disease and they randomly ran a preggo test. I understand worrying about the baby and all that, but the stress is sooo much worse on your immune system than anything. Just let it be. It will be anyways.
WOW, i am a pretty faithful follower of all things “Roni” and this is the first time I have seen anything about you being pregnant? Congratulations! That is wonderful news. And I hope you feel better soon… and get some worry-free rest. :)
Hope you feel better soon. Hopefully nothing was going around BlogHer. I started feeling really sick today and spent most of the day sleeping.
Hey Roni, I haven’t commented since reading your exciting news so firstly congrats!
I completely understand you being worried about the baby – especially after what you have already been through – I was the same. But worrying won’t help the little one. Just rest, recover and gain your strength back. Hope you feel better soon xx
Take care Roni…. thinking of you xx
RELAX!!! Sleep, rest, medicate, do whatever you need to to get yourself healthy. It is the ONLY thing that matters. Work, blogs… nothing else makes a difference and will all sort itself out as long as you and that baby are healthy.
Can we help somehow? I bet people would be willing to guest post for a few days…
Did I miss something? Are you expecting a baby?
Rest, rest, rest my friend. Everything else is second right now and it will all be fine and ok to get your attention when you’re feeling better.
All the best!
I hope you feel better soon:)
Our bodies are amazing… even will illness and stress your body will do everything it can to protect that little growing bean sprout. (probably why your immunity has been down and you got sick in the first place!). I can only imagine how scary this is for you though–hang in there!
Taking care of yourself is priority numero uno! I hope you feel better soon.
As everyone has been saying, Focus on getting well, relax and put yourself and your baby first. Realize that even though you are a super person, you’re not “super-human” and sometimes things have to be put on hold. If you don’t post for a day or two your readers will understand. We’re all pulling for you!
It’s a new day! Hope you are feeling better.
Hope you feel better soon!
I must have missed your exciting announcement! Congrats about the baby! When you feel better, fill us in:-)
Feel better soon!!
Another saying I’ve heard that I like is:
Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength.
Feel better, Roni! And congratulations on the pregnancy!!!
I totally missed this but it looks as if you are pregnant! Congratulations and hoping you feel better quickly.
Feel better soon.
Thanks so much everyone! and in case you missed it…. http://ronisweigh.com/2010/08/back-from-blogher-blissful-beaming.html
Being sick does suck, but it won’t last long. Take care.
Feel better soon. HUGS.
The phrase I always use to dissuade worrying is: Don’t suffer future pain.
Hope you feel better!! Zicam and lots of oranges.
Did someone hack your blog?
not that I know of! Why do you ask?!?
Relax. :) Do some nice things for yourself today. When things seem to be the worst, they somehow have a miraculous way of working themselves out. I’m rootin’ for ya!
Congrats, Roni!! And don’t worry about being so sick right now (at least try not to!) I get horribly sick the week I found out I was pregnant too, and my daughter is a happy almost 5 year old now :)
Hugs to you and lots of luck in the next 9 months!
Get well, go to the doctor, sleep, perhaps dream. Wait. Eat wisely. You know..take care of yourself. Hopefully everything will be fine. Best, M.
WOrrying just increases stress and that is not good for sickness or baby. Relax! Breathe! and enjoy!
Breathe. It will all work itself out, it always does. Stop stressing and just realize you’re doing everything you can do at the time. Get some rest, you’re in my thoughts!
actually, a wise friend just told ME that prayer and anxiety cannot occupy the same space. that’s the great thing about prayer. it can cancel worry out!
What? I missed the baby news!! Congratulations! I’m trying to find it in past posts…but can’t. When are you due? I hope you’re feeling better….
All the best,
Anne
