I woke up to this…
FUN!
Actually it wasn’t as bad as it looked. We washed everything during Saturday’s snow/sleet storm. All I had to do was fold the towels which I finished right before Little Guy decided to join me.
He helped me put the towels away and then we had a little fun in the kitchen. Pumpkin Pancakes!
Click here to read about our FRESH Pumpkin Pancake Bites with Sprinkles adventure.
Time to put the rest of the laundry away. Normally our downfall is not getting this done before the end of the weekend. Then we end up living out of piles.
Not cool.
While we organized, someone worked on their crawling skills.
Once everything was away I made The Husband his heart attack on a plate breakfast and I had some grapefruit.
After the late breakfast we cleaned up.
Here’s Little Guy showing off the clean mud room. One of his chores this weekend.
Time for a snack!
The boys were having fun with the Legos…
So I decided to go for a quick run. It’s gotten so cold I needed gear. :(
When I came back it was time for lunch. Little Guy and I finished some homemade pizza and I paired it with an experimental Red Pepper Soup with Spaghetti Squash.
Expect a recipe on GreenLiteBites soon. I want to make it one more time to get it just right.
Time to ready The Mystery Machine for the community parade.
Mystery Inc. was ready to make an appearance!
Don’t we rock! This was our first theme Halloween and I’m loving it! SO much fun!
It ended up being a gorgeous day for a walk.
When we got home Little Guy played a little Jack O’ Lantern drums while I made dinner.
I tried something new and it ROCKED! Hope to do a produce pick soon!
I also made meatloaf (trying to perfect my recipe,) creamy mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts.
After dinner a little Goosebumps. :)
Another great day. Now… if I can only get a handle on the nighttime snacking thing. It’s not even Halloween yet and I’m binging on chocolate. Ugh.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Sometimes I'll make something and then get obsessed, making it over and over and over again. It happened twice last week. First with The Most Amazing Bowl of Oatmeal EVER! I now have to stop myself from eating it every single morning. I decided to make a deal with myself [...] -
Four years ago I posted a photo journal of "The Toddler" and I making pizza. FOUR YEARS AGO! Click here to see it. Honestly, it's blowing my mind for 2 reasons. 1.) I can't believe how old my baby is and 2.) I can't believe I get to do it all over again with [...] -
I'm not kidding. I could not believe how good this was. A warm bowl of heaven. The combination of banana and chocolate chips is a favorite of mine. Add in just a touch of peanut butter and it's the perfect trifecta. Not only did it taste amazing, it filled me [...] -
I can't say enough good things about this book. The author doesn't hit you over the head with stead fast rules or try to sell some new catch phrase approach -- if I hear the phrase baby-led weaning one more time my head is going to explode -- she simple shares her thoughts, experiences and [...] -
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. [...]

Love the theme costumes! I am surprised your husband’s pumpkin isnt a finger.
Oh your costumes are SOOO GOOD!! You all looked wonderful :) I noticed that your husband still managed to get his usual “finger” in on the breakfast shot. No wonder he had that mischievous smile :) Hilarious.
Yay!! you tried Kabocha squash! I also had some for dinner hehe :) I’m glad you liked it, Roni!
You look awesome and oh my, your boys..are the cutest things in the world!
Hi Roni. OK…everytime I see a picture of your husband, I look for the bird. HILARIOUS. You all looked wonderful in your costumes. Have a great, spooky day on Monday.
Ha, loving the find the bird game! ;-) And awesome costumes, you guys rock!
Favorite costumes of the year! The kids look so cute :)
LOVE the Velma.
I’m not glad you binged, but I am glad you told me because then I take you off the “perfect” pedestal and realize your just like me, trying to get it right.
I love your Halloween costumes!! You look good as a redhead, hehe :)
I love the Scooby theme, you guys look adorable.
Great costumes! Your pizza looks yummy.
Love the costumes!!
Dude, I only ask because not knowing is KILLING me, not out of ANY kind of judgment – is your husband drinking soda for breakfast?
Happy Halloween!!!
YES! He comes from a family of soda drinkers. DRIVES ME NUTS!
Oh my goodness! Those are the cutest costumes ever! You had to have gotten some applause over that. I give applause to the hubbs for the one finger salute he slid in there at breakfast. ;)
LOVE the themed Halloween costumes!!! Looks like a perfect day! I just bought my first kabocha squash, can’t wait to roast that bad boy :)
I’m havng a really hard time with the chocolate thing too.. eeks
Love the costumes!!! Just wondering where you bought the frames that are in the room where the boys are playing leggo?
Those are from Ikea!
Thank you – been looking for frames just like that.
Your family looks amazing in those costumes! What fun!
I love Kabocha squash oven roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper. Delicious!
OMG your costumes ROCK! You look so happy in that picture of all four of you. Definitely a frameable moment. Cool!
THAT WAS LIKE TOTALLY AWESOME! My 5 y/o LOVES Goosebumps also!
Love the costumes and nice catch on the bird, Sana! I love the bird!
I will be waiting to see the red pepper soup recipe. Now that winter is settling in, I am making more soups and stews. Kabocha squash is excellent! OMG I love the color and the taste. So orange. I mixed it with couscous and spices. It was a bear to cut up though. Share ideas how you chopped yours.
You & the family costumes were FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the costumes! can you tell me what brand your mary jane shoes are?
Thanks,
Andrea

I have a 9 year old obsessed with Lego’s but we have no way near the collection you guys have so I better not let him see the Lego photo’s, lol. What is that big building? Also, I think you have said before they were playing a lego game, What would that be? Trying to get some christmas ideas!
The the buildings are part of a collector series that my husband started. They are really for adults. Here’s a link…
LEGO® Creator Pet Shop 10218
The games is called heroica. We LOVE it. There are 5, I think, and they can interconnect but you can play with just 1. We have this one….
LEGO HEROICA Draida Bay 3857
Hope that helps!
