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)

May 22, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

grilled s'mores banana boats before and after

So what do you think of when you think s’mores? Probably roasting marshmallows around a campfire and then sticking said marshmallows in between graham cracker squares and some chocolate, right? Well…it turns out, there is more than one way to make s’mores!

[IMM Link-Up #9] Chocolate Covered Strawberries

May 11, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

Sunday was Mother’s Day and I had this idea in my head that we needed to make some chocolate covered strawberries. I had seen them while I was surfing Instagram (that’s a thing, right?) not once, but twice and became obsessed with the idea. Not that chocolate covered strawberries are a new thing…I just got really excited to try it!

This homemade honey roasted almond butter is slightly honey sweet and dreamy creamy goodness on your morning toast. I’m pretty sure this stuff disappeared in 4 days flat. And Dave barely had a taste of it…it was just this nut butter monster slathering it on toast, tortillas, a cookie (ohmigosh)…really anything.

Healthy Veggie Burger with only 6 Ingredients

April 8, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

healthy veggie burger with only 6 ingredients

This healthy veggie burger packs a punch of nutrients including tons of fiber into one tasty package. I thought this recipe was so interesting since one of the main ingredients is the leftover pulp from your juicing excursions. Of course you don’t need to have juice pulp…it would just add some nice flavor and fiber. Woot.
