Hi! I’m Amanda.

Smores Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars [NF]

September 23, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s probably a good thing that I only got one piece of this s’mores chocolate chip cookie dough bar because if it were up to me, I would have cleaned the whole pan. And that’s not super healthy, right?

Confessions 9-7-15

September 7, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

I hope these confessions posts give you a little peek into my brain (if you’re into that sort of thing) and might either entertain you or likely make you feel a little better about your own life. Cuz I definitely don’t have it all together.

Frozen Banana Pops Covered in Chocolate Taste Like Dilly Bars

September 2, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

These delicious frozen chocolate covered banana pops covered in chocolate are the perfect semi-healthy treat for a hot summer day. Or any day, really. The frozen bananas taste so similar to ice cream (especially when you use super ripe bananas), but you get the benefit of potassium, no added sugar and no dairy. The chocolate candy shell is just icing on top.

Happy Things #5: Good News

August 31, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need to focus on the happy things in my life. I have one of those weird brains that naturally seeks out the negative in pretty much any situation, but I think with practice (and with these types of posts) we can train our brains to focus on the GOOD.

Happy Things #4

the happy things series

For Today’s post, we are going with the Happy Things title. Remember when I started the Happy Things series forever ago? I wanted to focus on the, well, happy things in my life instead of complaining about everything (like I tend to do).
