ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

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)

{Thursday Thoughts} Your Problems, My Problems

March 1, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Just a little empathy.  That’s all we want right?  When we complain..however dramatic..we really just want someone to say, “Oh that’s crazy!” or “How could she!” I suppose sometimes we want a solution, but a lot of times it feels GOOD to vent!  And to have someone say, “I’m here for you!” or…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #27} Baking Itch

February 15, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! I have the itch. The baking itch. I mean it hasn’t been that long since my last baking excursion…but a week is long enough!  I am getting ready to head out for the weekend to hang out at the hotel that is Dave (the BF)’s home most of the time and I won’t…

{Fitness Friday #4} Fitness Rambles

January 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday! I really couldn’t decide what alliteration I wanted to use today, or really what I wanted to blog about, but I knew I did want to blog.  Anyone ever feel that way? It also seems like I have a bazillion ideas when I’m busy, not near a computer, or should be paying attention…

I need a humidifier

January 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hey Friends, Man this morning is weird.  I randomly woke up at 5am, even though I went to bed late.  I think I heard someone get up in the apartment above me so I thought it was 6am (since this happened yesterday around that time).  Not that the people above us are loud..it’s just weird…

{MIMM #6} Day Off?

January 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I surprised myself (and my roommate) when I decided to try to keep my circadian rhythm in order (see guest post from a sleep expert) by getting up at 6am this morning…when I don’t even have school! I suppose part of it had to do with the fact that I went to bed…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #26}

January 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Happy Friday Friends! I’m bringing back Friday Five Foodie Finds!  Maybe.  I tend to have commitment issues when it comes to blogging since this is supposed to be a hobby.  But I will likely be looking more for good recipes that I can make at my new apartment because I feel a little in a…

Hello Friends!Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I spent mine out at the farm for the Thiele family Christmas. More on that later. Speaking of “more on that later,” I told you I had another baking party with my sisters to share with you.   The first one with my friends took place…

Semi-healthy Chocolate Chip Caramel Shortbreads

December 20, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Most of my recipes on this blog aren’t revolutionary.  Tasty, but really, I am just a college gal who has a love for baking and nutrition, not a culinary genius.  Some recipes I have simply modified from other recipes, which of course I cite those sources.  This is one of those instances. I…
