Considering there will be an influx of chocolate this evening let’s be smart and make good choices during the day. Mmmmkay?

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. [...]

Good call. Note to MYself: eat what it takes to not be hungry on the way home from work tonight. Healthy snacks prevent chocolate meltdowns.
Great note to self Roni. Enjoy your Halloween!!!!
Happy halloween, Roni.
I know you enjoy a good horror movie (like me!!), so here’s one my husband and kids (ages 4 and 2) put together. :)

Thanks Roni! I’ve really been challenging myself lately to eat a healthy meal every 4 hours so I don’t have these meltdowns where I want everything that’s bad for me(especially this time of year). Happy Halloween!
I continued a family tradition with my kids, one that all my sibs & I enjoyed (a genius plan formulated by my mother to keep her out of the trick or treat candy!) Here’s the deal – each kid gets a container big enough to hold all their candy. (In my day it was a coffee can – can you even buy coffee in a can anymore?) Each kid labeled their container & put it in their hiding place of choice. The contest was to see which kid could make their candy last the longest. Mom always campaigned for the hiding place to be in the freezer to keep her from being tempted to raid our loot, although all I can say is (from my experience as the mom), frozen Snickers are delicious.
No chocolate in this house this year except for my one very special dark chocolate bark in the freezer, of which I enjoy one little square a day…okay, maybe two in honor of Halloween. Kids in our neighborhood are getting giant sweet tarts this year! That I can control, but not the other stuff, Hershey bars, Mounds, Milky Way, Reeses, off limits.
No candy here either. I can not stop at one piece. I just finished throwing out all junk!
We got mini boxes of Nerds because it’s lower in calories and we can fit in 50 calories if we want to on movie night. They’re not tempting but man I can see if we had kids that those big ol’ bags would be tempting. I like the persons idea about hiding the candy to see how long you can make it last for the kids.
Me too!! I definately struggle when I don’t eat enough good calories during the day. The body has an amazing survival instinct and doesn’t want to be deficient. My problem is that it wants me to us M&M’s to ward away the deficiency. :)
When it comes to just plain old noshing, though, I heard something really neat on the radio the other day. A lady called into a health talk show and was lamenting that she was very overweight and her doctor wanted her to try and lose some before getting pregnant. But she still just wanted to eat and “start again tomorrow”. The health-talk-show-lady gave her this tool…. and I’ve been using it.
Every time you go to eat something, you have to say this (to the food, haha) first:
“I can choose you, or I can choose to be healthy and (insert your goal)”
Then… if you EAT the food, you HAVE to say it!!
(to the food) “I choose you.”
Boy, when you have to say it, it really makes you think!!
We went out to dinner and a movie last night so no candy here! We were with the over 50 crowd every where we went!
Stop! Stop watching me! How did you know that about me? Do you have a camera on my computer? Seriously, that is exactly what I do. I attempt to eat like a mouse during the day (healthy food-sometimes) because I don’t burn many calories in the office. As soon as I walk in the door–booyah–the race is on! It’s either Reduced Fat Cheeze-Its, WW cheese stick, p-nuts, reduced fat potato chips, etc. Before dinner munching is my demise. I decided to bury my old habits (even had a funeral for them) which included weighing myself everyday and the munching before dinner. I took the battery out of my scale. The first 2 days, I did well. The third day, not so well. Fell off the wagon. Dug up the old habits from the grave. The serioud thing about all this is 3 doctors said “get the weight off or diabetes is next.” Hellppppp!
Hello,
