{Vegetarian Curious #3} Andrea’s Go-To Pasta

August 23, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I have a post for you from my friend Andrea for my “Vegetarian Curious” series!  If you’ll recall, she also guest posted for me for my Running for Newbies series here and we also ran my first ever 10K together!  This gal is super busy with her kids homeschooling AND running a daycare. …

{WIAW #37} Meat-Free Day

August 23, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! So, I’ve started this series called Vegetarian Curious (see the first post and second post) and for now it’s from the perspective of wonderful guest bloggers who are sharing their vegetarian recipes and stories of how and why they are vegetarian/vegan foodies.  I decided I’d try a meat-less day and this is what…

{Vegetarian Curious #1} Katie’s Story

August 20, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I have this semi-healthy blog here which means not TOO healthy so I have stayed away from diets such as vegetarian because to a gal from Nebraska…it seems UBER healthy to be a vegetarian. There are many healthy benefits, however, and I thought rather than research on the internet, I would ask some…

{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…

Nutty Cookie Bar

July 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Is it hotter than hot where anyone else lives?? Here in Nebraska it’s been in the hundreds of degrees with ludicrous humidity.  How the heck is a girl to run outside when she rolls out of bed at 9am (don’t be too jealous, I worked last night) and it’s already 86 out…and feels…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #22} Housekeeping

June 29, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! This post almost didn’t happen today.   For my Friday Five Foodie Finds posts, I have been trying to just let the finds come to me…and try to not search for them in order to post every single Friday.  (Does that even make sense?)
