Jazzed up Hamburger Helper

August 3, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I was sending BF Dave a picture of the yummy guacamole dip I made tonight (get excited!), I realized how much I miss making food for him or with him.  He has been traveling a lot the past few months and I’ve felt pretty uninspired making meals just for myself.  A couple of…

{WIAW #34} Summer Staples

August 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up.  I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today.  (*sigh* I broke down…

Faithful Friday #SheReadsTruth

July 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Dave (the BF) and I were attending a bible study for a few months and loved it.  It gave us a chance to learn (a lot!) from the wise leaders and it was fun to hang out with a smaller group of people (since our church is rather large).  But…. it got cancelled…
