That’s all I have time for tonight. I’m trying to get to bed so I can wake up early and work out. Something I haven’t done in well over a year. I’m committing two mornings a week, Tuesday and Thursdays. I know it’s going to be tough but I also know I’ll feel so awesome all day.
Anyway, on to the journal!
Didn’t have much time for breakfast so I grabbed an apple and some Almond Butter.
For lunch I went a little overboard.
but it was for a good reason. Click here for the recipe and the reason why I made such a big lunch.
Afternoon snack was some hummus and veggies
HUGE NSV for me scooping out the hummus. I normally just grab the container and it’s gone before I know it.
After school the Little Guy and I split a can of Tropical Fruit Salad.
I also grabbed a handful of S’more Goldfish
We went out to dinner at our favorite Chinese/Sushi place. Started with some wonton soup…
Edemame..
and some sushi
I also had a few bites of the husband’s Hunan Chicken.
After the kids went to bed I made some hot cocoa with my customary shot of Irish Cream. :)
OK, off to bed! I’m gonna sleep in my running clothes!

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. [...]

you said Irish cream Do you mean the real stuff or the cream flavor for coffee.
You may have just started a new habit for me. Coffee and Irish Cream before bed!!! ahhhhhhh!
Enjoy your workout this morning and more importantly… enjoy the great feeling all day that it leaves you with!!
Curious about the Irish Cream too, real Bailey’s or flavored creamer? Oh and good for you getting up early tues/thurs! Wish my schedule would allow it but not now. I need to push myself to exercise late in the day…ugh!
It’s the real stuff. Not Bailey’s though a brand named Ryans. I actually like it better and the rumor is it’s much lighter although I’m not sure it’s true. Why doesn’t alcohol have to publish nutritional info?!? Drives me batty.
Is your hummus flavored? We LOVE the chipotle pepper hummus at Trader Joe’s. I use it for a base on pizzas, tacos and dips. YUM!
Hey Roni – love your photo updates…new reader for the last few weeks and love how you show us your day, you eating all by the click on the camera. The fish for lunch, the picture effect – gave me a good chuckle. My friend sleeps in her workout clothes most days…gives her that kick she needs.Hope your morning exercise was grand.

Garlic hummus! I can’t get enough of the stuff!!
OMG, they make S’More Goldfish? Good thing I haven’t seen them in my stores, I would eat.them.all.
Hi Roni. Can you tell me what that other veggie is with the cucumbers and tomatoes. I don’t recognize it. Thanks!
Amanda- I can do one better! Here’s a video Little Guy and I did about it.. http://greenlitebites.com/2010/06/17/produce-pick-kohlrabi/
:)
Roni,
Crazy question but how do you make your hot chocholate? I stole your idea last night and had a cup of hot coco with a “big” splash of irish cream. Yummo! It hit the spot and can’t wait to do it again tonight.
I want to thank you for your great tips. I make smoothies (in a bullet) almost everyday. Kids love them, husband loves them, I love them. Well, I had fresh Kale delivered yesterday and tried it this AM in my smoothie. Wow, great! I am so excited because I know I will be able give it to the kids and they should drink it down without hesitation. Thank you for all the great tips and advice. I look forward to reading your blog everyday. Happy holidays to you and your family,
Elayne
Love, love, love the food tracking technique! I am so doing that tomorrow.
Thanks Roni! Your answer was VERY comprehensive :)
Elayne – Honestly, I warm up some unsweetened almost milk, add unsweetened dark cocoa powder and a splash of the Irish Cream. It’s so yummy!
