Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

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)

Honey Roasted Almond Butter + Some News!

May 6, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

make your very own almond butter all drippy and delicious. via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com 2

This homemade honey roasted almond butter is slightly honey sweet and dreamy creamy goodness on your morning toast. I’m pretty sure this stuff disappeared in 4 days flat. And Dave barely had a taste of it…it was just this nut butter monster slathering it on toast, tortillas, a cookie (ohmigosh)…really anything.

Why Would You Try to Make Money Blogging?

September 29, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

why would you try to make money blogging via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

This is a post I’ve been putting off..oh..for months? Ever since I started trying to diversify my blogging income and started sponsored posts (gasp!) this year, I’ve wanted to talk to you guys about the mindset behind all of this.

Money + Blogging.

It’s a tricky thing to talk about. It’s kind of awkward and even taboo among some bloggers. (thus stalling on writing a post about it.) Some view it as “selling out” but others criticize bloggers for not taking their blogs seriously and for not taking money for product reviews.

With the conflicting ideas out there…let’s talk about why I decided to make money blogging.
