What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

Roni, this is GENIUS!!!!
I’m a total Twitter addict and so this is right up my alley. This is such an ingenious use of Twitter.
I’ve already set up a new Twitter account and I’m using it on my blog.
GENIUS!!!
Is the chart supposed to come out pink on our blogs? Because mine isn’t.
Great question! No it will be styled the way your theme or template has defined tables. For example if you paste it into a BlogToLose blog it looks like this… http://www.blogtolose.com/profiles/blogs/day-8i-ate-and-ate
(well that’s the other generator but same point)
If you want it to look like mine I can give you the CSS to paste in your css file.
Roni, I am new at Twitter, but I do have an account. I would love to twitter my food diary. I am thinking I only have to copy and paste the above XHTML code. Well I shall soon see. Thanks for your blog, I love it.
Betty
Hey Roni!
I’ve been reading your blog for months now and like to watch AskRonis when I do my dishes at night :)
Anyway, this wole Twitter thing is absolut genius! My screen name up there is ShhhFood. I missed the #-tag today, my first day, but will be posting it by dinnertime!
Thanks for the crazygood idea!
Roni, I signed up for twitter, and I have been posting my food journal. I think I have been doing it wrong. I never seem to be able to copy and paste the table directly to my blog.( in fact I never get a table) I have to go to your page each time and add everything individually. What do you think I am doing wrong. Thanks, Betty
Hi Betty! I should be able to help. What is your twitter username?
Roni, It worked, thanks so much. BTW, I love your site, I made the pinto bean soup this weekend it was very good.
Betty
Roni, I would LOVE your css to paste into my blog to make my chart look nice like yours ;) I have a blogger blog I am not sure if that will make a difference?
Nope.. it would make a difference. Do you know where to put the css?
Try to copy and paste this…
table{border-spacing:1px;border:1px solid #c0e2f3;margin:5px 0 10px 0;}
td, th{padding:4px;}
th{text-align:center;background-color:#d4effd;color:#666666;border:0;}
tr{background-color:#e6f3f9;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #c0e2f3;}
Hey Roni! Have been reading your blog(s) for a while now and finally decided I’d delurk and also give this a try. I do not understand twitter at all, but I do understand that it will let me track consistantly, so I am giving it a shot! Particularly since it’s become clear recently that my track-book method is no longer working.
Just a random question/suggestion: I use tables on my blog for all sorts of random “I-hate-HTML-lets-just-bloody-do-it-this-way” moments. Is it possible to include a specific css class/style ‘tag’ for the table/tr in your generator? For people who don’t use HTML, it’d just revert to a normal table (right? My HTML skills are a little patchy), but for people like me, I could write those specific classes into my CSS to make it all pretty. Does that make sense?
Also, thanks so much for posting…well, everything. You’re a daily read for me and I find it so motivating. You’ve also inspired me to start cooking and to play when I cook, which is wonderful! Thanks again for this,
Katali.
Katali – GREAT idea! Of course I understand. For a quick fix I just added “foodjournal” as the class for the table. Hope that helps!!
Great idea Roni. Congrats on a fantastic job. Good luck in your new job also.
Thanks for all your good ideas.

Just started to use twitter for my food journal today! I am sooo excited to not have to be carrying around my ‘form’ that I made to track my week. Thank you sooo much Roni! Brilliant, I say, Brilliant!
have you seen ?
have you seen tweetwhatyoueat ?
Is there a way that this can be done as a “feed” – to continuosly update what you eat. Do you know what I mean?
Thanks!
It’s a great tool
Lori – twitter already has a feed. For example my food journal feed is… http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17754465.rss
You can simply add the feed to your sidebar!
Does that make sense?
I see it now! I am REALLY new to twitter, so thank you for your insight. Roni – you simply ROCK!
Roni,
Just read the article about you on CNN and found my way here. I’m a huge twitter fan and I’m trying to become a fan of eating right too. I’ve protected my feed but feel free to follow.
I’ve kept a food journal before but was frustrated with having to look things up and then still having to modify the actual number of calories. I love your unit system, although I haven’t quite figured out what they’ll mean for me yet. I’m thinking more of a “star” system corresponding to how good of a choice that food was.
It’s a good thing I started this before going home to my bowl of leftover Halloween candy!
Thanks!

Can I tweet my food journal from my phone without having internet on my phone? By just texting?
test
Im doing something wrong and I dont know what… I made my twitter account (chrissysfood) I sent a test food entry but I dont have [ ] on my phone, I have ( )… is that ok???
And I put the info into the food jounral thing on the top of here and nothing… there is an XHTML on the reply section but when I copy that, my blog wont let me paste it… although im not sure thats what im supposed to do anyways…. HELP
ok new question – I figured out how to get it to make the chart – yaaa me! and I found out how to make the [ ] on my phone (needed to go to keyboard option) now my new issue – so when I put in toast [5] as a test… it shows up on my chart as A5N with the A and N having lines over them. And the number doesnt show on the tally side… what did I do wrong?
Hi Roni,
I’m having a hard time getting my table to generate – my twitter name is annafood and I’m formatting my tweets like oatmel [2] but it won’t generate!
Thanks!
Anna – You have to “unprotected” your updates. By keeping them secure you are not allowing my app access. Does that make sense? Let me know if you get it to work!
Christina – Still working on you A D issue. Have to do research.
Thanks, Roni! That works! :)
Hey Roni
I already set up a twitter account but want to make another one just for my food journa entries. But when I set up another account it won’t let me bc it says email address already taken. Can you have multiple twitter accounts?
thanks so much
Jo
joanna – You can have multiple accounts but you need another email to do so. I have about 8 so it wasn’t a problem for me. DO you have another email you can use:
Hi,
I’d like to use this twitter thing to log! :) I created my twitter account as wyrillcosfood and I can post, but I think I’m being a dummy and missing a big step in the process of being able to get my totals and then post to my blog. Can you help? I have no ide what to do next.
Courtney – I can.. Unfortunately tweet eat post is having some technical difficulties AND I’m so swamped I can’t fix them right now. :(
I hope to update it soon. So sorry!!
I just found this,
and created my account, and downloaded tweetdeck…hopefully this is one move that will help me BUST this plateau!!
I LOVE LOVe this site!!
totally motivates me!!
thanks Roni!!!
Hi Roni,
When do you think the bug with TEP will be corrected?
Thanks!! :)
Anna – Good question. I haven’t had time to fix it since I’m planning the conference. I will put it on the top of my to do once that’s behind me. The problem is with Twitter, they changed the feed dates. It’s killing me!
I’ll get to it! Promise!

Hey Roni! In an effort to be more accountable, I’ve been tweeting my foods for a few weeks now. Only a few of my friends actually follow my food journal though. In a way that’s cool, because they’re the people who really are interested to see it; but at the same time, I’d feel more accountable if more people were checking up on me. Any suggestions on how to get more Twitter food journal followers?
by the way, my food journal is @LauraWVsFood
and THANKS for the awesome idea to do this, and for doing it yourself for so long. I look forward to reading your food tweets every day, and often get ideas for what I’d like to eat from them.
Laura, I’m glad you brought this up! I used to tag all my food journal tweets with #tep and a few others did as well, just so we can find each other. I’ll get myself back into the habit. Then we could do a simple search for each other like this… http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23tep
Cool! Sorry I didn’t read that up above… I got a bit mixed up with all the instructions (and as always, figured I knew it all and didn’t have to read them). I will definitely put #tep on all my food posts now, and will hope to find others doing so as well. Also, I realize now that I can look at who you follow (@Ronisfood), and follow those people as well.
Hey Roni,
I know you haven’t talked much about this recently, but for some reason I can’t generate my table. My twitter is erlfood. Any advice you have would be much appreciated!
