Chocolate Cherry Almond Vita-Loaf
Posted in: Bread Ideas, Breakfast Ideas, Dessert Ideas, Food Photos, Snack Ideas, Toddler Approved | Leave a Comment
This was a another snow day experiment. I like baking from scratch but sometimes using a mix is a life saver. It takes all the guess work out of it and I can simply have fun. I like having fun. Especially in the kitchen. :)
Anyway I used Vitalicious’s Deep Chocolate Vita Muffin Mix. I’m a fan of these mixes. There ingredient lists aren’t perfect but they are one of the few whole wheat mixes I can find.

Produce Pick: Kale
Posted in: Produce Picks | 29 Comments
Confession time. I have NEVER bought a bunch of Kale ever. Never!
I have no memories of mom buying it. I never ate it growing up. I rarely see it on a restaurant menu. Yet I read about it all the time. The health benefits are countless. According to NutritionData.com Kale is a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper and Manganese. 1 cup chopped (67g) has only 33 calories, 1 g of fiber and 2 g of protein.

We are in the middle of a blizzard here in Baltimore. So what do I do?
Well, come home early from work and cook, of course. :)
I decided to fill the crock pot and not worry about dinner. While it was cooking we played trouble, soccer, watched The Incredibles

Curried Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Vegetarian Ideas | 20 Comments
THIS is what happens when I don’t have to make the husband or the child happy with dinner. Here’s the story… We have a TON of leftovers from a get together we had this weekend but nothing I really want to eat, again (fried chicken) so I decided to simply cook for me and let the boys fend for themselves.
It.was.WONDERFUL!

Spiced Tomato Soup with Pinto Beans
Posted in: Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Soup/Stew Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 8 Comments
I had a hankering for soup. Sure, I could have just grabbed a can of condensed soup from the pantry but where’s the fun in that?!? :)
Instead, I took an old time favorite, tomato soup and made it into a satisfying meal by adding a few additional ingredients and spices.

Mexican Pizza

I took a vacation day from work today after a fabulous trip to Boston. I don’t know about you but I always need a vacation from my vacations. :)
Anyway, I wanted to make a quick brunch and I happened to have a can of refried beans opened from some quesadillas I made on Thursday with the little guy. You guys know me and my pizza addiction so it shouldn’t be that much so this idea shouldn’t be that much of a surprise.

Posted in: Produce Picks, Video Posts | 10 Comments
It’s been too long since we’ve done a video and even longer since we’ve done a produce pick. This week we try the pummelo.. with some friends. :)
As I say in the video, we researched a bit and watched this video about how to peel one. We may not have done it perfectly but it was all we needed to get started! Click here to continue reading Produce Pick: Pummelo (aka Pumelo, Pomelo) >>>

Vanilla Pudding Cups with Oranges and Pomegranates
Posted in: Dessert Ideas, Snack Ideas, Toddler Approved | 6 Comments
The little guy and I had some fun at breakfast with an old box sugar free pudding, a can of Mandarin oranges and an aging pomegranate we had in the fridge. Can you tell we need to hit the grocery store? ;~)
Regardless, I LOVED this. The flavor combo was tasty and they were so much fun to make together. However, even though the little guy loves pomegranates plain after awhile he got sick of them in the pudding. When I asked him what he wanted to call our little creation he said. . .

Asian Inspired Tabouli Salad
Posted in: Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Party Ideas, Salad Ideas, Side Dish Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 6 Comments
Let me start this post by saying, I didn’t even know what Tabouli (Tabbouleh) was about a year ago. I had some at a party last year and the cafeteria at my new job has it all the time. I believe it’s traditionally bulgur, parsley, mint, tomato, onion, lemon juice and olive oil. But unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I don’t have all of that stuff. Heck, I don’t even have any fresh vegetables in the fridge except some carrots and an aging celery stalk. Click here to continue reading Asian Inspired Tabouli Salad >>>

Ask Roni: Other Weight Watchers Friendly Recipe Sites
I was wondering if you knew of any other good web sites besides yours that includes WWP with their recipes. I never really stray from your site, but I decided that I want to loose weight but I can’t afford to join Weight Watchers so I thought I would just go by a 28 point value system each day and see how that goes for me.
