Hello Friends! I was sending BF Dave a picture of the yummy guacamole dip I made tonight (get excited!), I realized how much I miss making food for him or with him.  He has been traveling a lot the past few months and I’ve felt pretty uninspired making meals just for myself.  A couple of…

Success! Rice and Edamame 3 Ways

July 9, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve been devouring this batch of edamame and rice I made last week for three days.  That’s the beauty of cooking for yourself (and yourself only)…leftovers! I boiled a bag of frozen edamame in their shells and set it aside to cool. Then in the same pot, I prepared some boil-in-a-bag rice, which…

  Happy Friday Friends! Well I was going to run 6 miles this morning.   Then when my alarm clock went off I convinced myself I should just run after class…and therefore right before work. We will see how that goes huh?  With warm temps and little time to run a distance that I’m not sure…

How to Boil an Egg {or Egg Salad Delight}

January 23, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! The last time I made hard-boiled eggs…there was a bit of a disaster.  You would think that making a hard-boiled egg would be pretty basic, right?  Isn’t this one of the first things one learns how to make?  After mac n cheese and pb&j? I was in the mood for eggs today and…
