Ok, I’ve told you this before. These Friday posts are way more for my sanity then anything else. I literally need to open up the top of my head and dump everything that’s been swimming in there so I can move on. It’s strange, I know.
Here on Roni’s Weigh…
Last weekend’s quote was an amazing video about body image followed by another Sensational Sunday with lots of pictures. I posted my Week 31 pregnancy video and showed off the crib and changing table. Unfortunately I didn’t get to a Question of the Week but I did review 2 products and am hosting a giveaway. I also gave myself a reality check and posted this week’s podcast.
Favorite pic of the week…
On GreenLiteBites…
I made the husband some chicken wings for the super bowl. He’s obsessed! I also made a pressed portabella sandwich and showed my technique for using a george foreman grill as a panini press in this weeks video. Oh! and last night I made the kid approved Chicken with Mango, Carrots and Sugar Snap Peas.
Favorite pic of the week…
On RoniNoone.com…
All I had time for this week was a tutorial on how to add tabs/pages to your facebook fan page. Of course they upgraded since then so my screen shots are already outdated. You gotta love the web!
Favorite of pic of the week because it was outdated in 2 days…
On Poop Butterflies….
I gripped about the Super Bowl intro, shared a clip from my favorite comedian and snapped a picture of Little Man drawing on walls. :)
Favorite picture of the week… (Well ONLY picture of the week)

Other things across the interweb…

- I shared two snack ideas on the Laughing Cow Blog.
- Loved this post and discussion about Artificial Sweeteners!
- Jules wrote a very fun, flattering article about FitBloggin on the WD Slimdown blog.
- I stumbled on this old post of the TODDLER making pizza. Maybe it’s the pregnancy but I’m in the OMG He’s so big stage something fierce.
Pictures posted on social media sites…
Posted Monday – I’m trying to work here. I mean SERIOUSLY…
Posted Tuesday – It’s official! I’ve replaced my evening sorbet addiction w/ green smoothies! This 1 is banana,mango,strawberries w/ spinach!
What’s in the works?

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 [...]
"@Nubiancooki darn! I don't think I have any popsicle ideas although I will tell you almond milk and sugar free chocolate pudding is AWESOME!— RoniNoone

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the chaulk board wall. We are moving soon and it’s now a must have for my girls to have one of these!!!
I love that chalkboard wall, too!!! That is fantastic!
I also love making George Foreman paninis. :)
The toddler is getting so big!! Just reading this post makes me tired! Hope you have a great weekend!
Yeah I’ve wondered about the chalkboard wall before… I love the idea, but wanted to ask… does chalk dust get EVERYWHERE??? That would drive me (and my allergies) nuts! Just curious. ;-)
It collects at the baseboard so it’s pretty easy to clean. I was worried about it too but it’s not as bad as I thought. They also sell dry erase board paint now! That’s a little neater!
Hmmm so it doesn’t get all over the carpet? Oh, and something I’ve learned during teaching is that dry erase board dust and markers are even worse… cause it STAINS!!! :-)
ohhh that’s true! The dust does get a bit on the carpet but again, it’s just at the base. One run with the vacuum attachment and it’s up.
Look at you being all Miss Knocked Up Knock Out!
And your schedule? I need a nap just reading your post.
I’m codependent like that.
And? I had a chalkboard wall as a kid. Great FABUTASTIC memories. Just seeing yours made my blood pressure go down.
Thanks! – Kirsten
