A few weeks ago I made a mental note after seeing this comment on Healthy Tipping Point. I love fun memes! A few people have been emailing me about my 100 Random Things About Me post becuase I stated I didn’t want any more children. So I decided to update those and post these just for a fun change of pace.
So here goes… the ABC’s of me…
- Age: 34
- Bed size: Queen and now I now can’t believe the husband and I used to sleep in a single. Yes. a SINGLE!
- Chore you hate: Laundry, Laundry, LAUNDRY! ugh.
- Dogs: I would love, love, love a dog! The husband? not so much. I’m thinking I’ll wear him down in 5 or so years when the kids are older. ;)
- Essential start to your day: Breakfast with the Little Man.
- Favorite color: I would now have to say green. All because of GreenLiteBites.. it’s become an obsession!
- Gold or silver: Silver. I have always thought gold was gaudy.
- Height: I was 5′ 9” but I think I’m shrinking. I’m just a tad over 5′ 8” now.
- Instruments that you can play: I fiddled with the piano when I was a kid but I play no instruments and this makes me sad. My Dad’s side of the family are all musicians.
- Job title: Healthy Living Blogger. Crazy to say that but it’s true. Although I normally describe myself as a Web Publisher. More people "get" that.
- Kids: 1 – 5 year old boy and another on the way! Crazy to say that too!
- Live: Maryland. I never thought it would become "home" but it really has.
- Mom’s name: Gerri
- Nicknames: Roni, Ron, V, Mom
- Overnight hospital stays: Childbirth is all I can remember.
- Pet peeve: People who don’t get off the phone when interacting in person with another human being–Like checking out at the grocery store. Ugh.. that bugs me!
- Quote from a movie: Just one? I can’t do it. How about "Stephen is my Name!" -Braveheart or "We ain’t found shit!" – Spaceballs or "You’re so money and you don’t even know it!" -Swingers or "I wouldn’t say I’ve been *missing* it, Bob." – Office Space Oh boy I can go on and on.. those were the first few to pop in my head.
- Righty or lefty: Righty.
- Sibling: One brother who I have no relationship with whatsoever. It’s a long, sad story I don’t like to think about.
- Time you wake up: 7ish The Little Guy has me trained well.
- Underwear: Ummm yes. Seriously.. who doesn’t?
- Vegetables you dislike: Hmmm I have to think about this. I’m trying to learn how to like artichokes but I don’t dislike them. Geesh.. I can’t think of one. I really try to have an open mind when it comes to vegetables.
- What makes you run late: Nothing MAKES me, I just run late. I mean the Little Man DOES slow me down but I could simply leave earlier but I don’t. It’s getting really bad.
- X-rays: Ohh tons! I had pneumonia quite a few times as a kid not to mention my trips to the dentist.
- Yummy food you make: I think everything I make is yummy. The husband may not agree but oh well. ;)
- Zoo favorite animal: All the big cats! I’ve always had an obsession with cats.

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 [...]

That was fun! =) http://wp.me/pRijv-cV
Love this Roni, great to get to know you more!!!
What a fun thread =) I had a lot of fun reading yours and the others on this thread. http://sheddinpounds.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/angela-a-z/
I can’t believe you used to work at UMBC it really is just too small of a world, and now you are a blogger just like you always were.
P.s I miss your pumpkin pancakes!
I might post this to my tumblr :-)
I did this a couple of weeks ago … It was fun!

I love these ABCs …yet think Im to much of an open book to do one.
I need to get kidnapped or something first :)
As for your D, I was petting our goldendoodle last night and was thinking about what an amazing addition she was to our family. Walking her keeps you exercising and the unconditional love is amazing. When the baby gets a little older, push for it!
Loved reading yours! I posted mine in the beginning of March…..

Like you, I also have one brother who I don’t have much of a relationship with, which also makes me sad. Glad to know I am not alone.

Fun times! Mine will publish on Saturday at http://www.feelslikehomeblog.com/2011/03/the-abc%E2%80%99s-of-me/ :)
This was fun! I’m pregnant too and my “yummy food” is currently my sandwiches.. Why do they taste so insanely good to me right now??

When I got married (30 years ago!) we moved to China and I had to scrub our clothes on a scrub board for 2 hours every night! As I traveled all over Southeast Asia, I noticed that the women were doing laundry outside in streams and rivers all day long. I’m so grateful for that experience because for me, doing laundry with a washer and dryer has never bothered me since – even with 4 kids!!
Very cool. I’m going to get this done next week!
I also used to be 5’9″. It always annoys me when the height thingy at the Science Center tells me I’m not anymore. : )
Oh fun! My hubby and I used to sleep on a single too!!! I can’t believe it!!
Not like you have time to read this now, with the new little one, but here are mine!
