WIAW #74: Intuitive Eating- Stop Battling with “Bad” Foods

August 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Last week was Dave’s birthday so, as he requested, we headed to Chili’s with a friend! I even got to wear my new “t-shirt dress” (my word…it’s comfy like a t-shirt) that I got on sale at Target. Seriously, go check out the end of the season sales going on at my favorite store.  I…

Justin’s Nut Butter Raffle + Half Marathon Training Update

August 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

A couple of weeks ago I did a whole long, heart-felt post enlisting help to support Girls on the Run, a wonderful organization who’s mission is:   “to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.” Well, I got a few thumbs-ups, but no gravy.  Since…

The Salted Skillet Cookie…. with Toffee and Chocolate

July 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Thanks for the thoughtful comments on Sunday’s post.  I am pretty sure I will always have seasons of self-doubt and anxiety in blogging, but it really helps to know I’m not alone! I found out that one thing I do like is having my posts done the night before I want them on the blog…

{WIAW #72} Current Confessions

July 17, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I have a confession to make.  Well, I have a lot of confessions I should probably make…like the fact that sometimes I make cookies solely to eat all the dough left in the bowl.  That’s pretty normal though, right? I should also confess that in three days I had Starbucks three times.  Once…

{WIAW #67} Our Very Own Fridge

June 12, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! It’s the little things, right?  Having to share a fridge with a roommate is kind of a pain.  Since you’re not sharing money…you’re not likely to share food when you just have a roommate.  This means that you will probably have doubles of certain things…like bread, milk, eggs, salad, fruit, veggies, etc and…
