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)

8 Essential Tips for Moving to a New City

May 13, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

8 Tips for Moving to a New City or State via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

First of all, I need to say that I’m not an expert on the topic of moving. After a month I still feel like I am settling in and learning new things about my new city and state (and still getting lost)! I can offer a few tips on moving to a new city based on what I have learned so far! I hope this can help anyone who will be relocating from their hometown.

My good friend Katie from 50 States in a Year (read her first guest post about it here), has some updates to share with us about her amazing charity project! They’ve actually changed their charity to partner with Sweat Angels, so they have the opportunity to work with a new charity each month but are still hosting events at Crossfit boxes across the US.

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.
