WIAW #82: Weekend Fun

October 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I went out of town again last weekend. I know, right? Does anyone else feel like it takes awhile to get back to normal life after being away a couple of days?  I’m pretty sure I’ve been out of town the majority of the weekends in the past three months. This leaves me feeling scatterbrained…

WIAW #80: Voodoo Tacos and Sweet Blueberry Almonds

WIAW #79 Two Weddings and a Birthday

Is it really Wednesday?? It has been a crazy few days! This past weekend Dave and I made the 6-7 hour trip back to Omaha, Nebraska. For two weddings and a birthday. Dave was in one of the weddings, so it made the weekend that much busier. Friday night we attended Sam and Claire’s wedding…

WIAW #78: I Like to Make Food at Work

September 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

turkey avocado sandwich

I’m working at a cafe now which is fun in that it gives me all of these ideas for things to make, but then again it’s torture to work with food when you are hungry. If you’ve ever worked in the food industry, you know that you might not get a chance to eat until…

Western Egg Casserole + Bonus Recipe

September 24, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

western egg casserole. great for breakfast or brinner!

I am all about quick and easy meals…especially when they last a couple of days (hello leftovers!!). This western egg casserole was super satisfying, flavorful and made a great brinner as well as breakfasts throughout the week. This was not all that quick when Dave and I were making it, but that is likely because…

What I Ate in Minneapolis at #HLS13

September 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

{WIAW #75} Whole Wheat Saucy Pizza Recipe

September 4, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

whole wheat hamburger pepper pizza baked

I used to not share recipes because they weren’t “from scratch.” I would have never shared a recipe like this that had a pre-made crust and pre-made sauce. I thought in order to share a recipe it would have to be something that rivaled what Martha Stewart would come up with. I have changed that…
