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)

WIAW #80: Voodoo Tacos and Sweet Blueberry Almonds

October 9, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

What I Ate in Minneapolis at #HLS13

September 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I moved to the twin cities area three whole months ago! (Who else can’t believe it’s been that long?) This whole time I have yet to explore the Minneapolis food scene and I’m so excited I had the opportunity to try some new restaurants at the Healthy Living Summit this year! Check out my first…

Justin’s Nut Butter Raffle + Half Marathon Training Update

August 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

WIAW #73: Can’t Get Enough of These Eats

August 14, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I had a strong urge to title this WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) post with “What I’ve Been Eating Lately” but I get super annoyed when I see bloggers title their post “Lately.”  There is one in particular that I swear every time I see a post it is titled “Lately.”  If I demand a…

A Peanut-Butter-Chocolatey Giveaway!

July 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Yesterday I tricked myself again.  I mean you’d think I would wise up to my own ways, but I haven’t. I went out for a walk that really turned into a good run-with-some-walking.  I tricked myself by saying “it’s just a walk” and “you only have to go a mile.” These things make me all…

Monday Moves #3: Blogiversary Giveaway {#MIMM}

July 1, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Mine was filled with hanging with the BF (sans his work phone…hooray!) watching him shoot at flying orange targets and being fried to a crisp in the process.  Seriously, those sunburns catch you by surprise!  At least they do me…one minute I’m shivering from the chill of…
