Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

Apple Cider Cupcakes and Pumpkin Pie Shots

October 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday!  I hope you all slept in or if you did not, I hope you got up early to do something awesome.  Such as running 10 miles.  Or baking a pie.  Or leaving for a tropical vacation.  Or whatever you define as awesome.  I made myself coffee, which usually seems too time…

{WIAW #43} Cupcake-arific Eats

October 25, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! After a long day of driving and school (I left my lab notebook at home today…an hour away…le sigh), I am excited to shower off the rainy day and unwind looking at pretty pictures of my food. I present to you the 43rd edition of WIAW on this Semi-Healthy blog in the form…

Baby Shower–It’s a Boy!

October 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! No friends, I’m not preggers.  Someday!  But for now I am in a near-constant battle with Chemistry and I’m pretty sure it is better done sans kiddos.  I get my baby fix at my nannying job and occasional babysitting.  And soon I will get it through my little nephew! My sister Courtney is…

October 19, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! As promised in Wednesday’s WIAW post, AND on my Semi-Healthy Facebook Page (if you haven’t already, head on over and “like” it to help me reach 200 “likes!!”) I am sharing a taco recipe that’s sure to kick you in the mouth. What a first line huh?  Don’t leave!  They won’t actually hurt…

Get to Know Me

October 18, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’m dropping in quickly to let you all know about a fun Get-to-Know-Me guest post I did today over at my friend Heather’s blog, Kiss My Broccoli.  We met at Blend Retreat 2012 and she is one of the many reasons I am so grateful that I decided to push my fears aside,…

{WIAW #42} Mexican Tacos and Dessert Fail

October 17, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well it looks like my last post was actually LAST WIAW. (What is WIAW?  Check out why I participate here.) This shows how much school (I’m looking at YOU Chemistry class) is taking over my life.  (Or I’m just watching too much How I Met Your Mother and it takes me longer to…

Take a Fitness Break

October 10, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! No, not a break from fitness…although some people could use that too! I notice during the school year, I can get so into my homework/studying/facebooking-when-I’m-supposed-to-be-doing-homework-and-studying, that I sit for too long and get sore. It’s recommended that people working at a desk get up once every hour…and that counts for sitting in front…

Banana Spiced Muffin Top Cookies

October 6, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

    Hello Friends! Sometimes an accident can be a wonderful thing.  Take these Banana Spiced Muffin Top Cookies, for example. I was going for cookies, but the texture and taste were so close to that of a banana muffin that I couldn’t just call them a cookie.  And of course they don’t really look…

No More Free Coffee + Pepperful Panburger Partner

October 5, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! So in the midst of fervently studying for my second Chemistry exam that took place this evening, I get an e-mail from my boss at the coffee catering gig.  I haven’t heard from her for a whole month, since the last e-mailing incident.  I really should have just kept plugging away at my…
