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)

 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…

{Recipe Round-Up} What to Take to Thanksgiving

November 21, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! Are you a host or an invader?

Banana Spiced Muffin Top Cookies

October 6, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

    Hello Friends! Sometimes an accident can be a wonderful thing.  Take these Banana Spiced Muffin Top Cookies, for example. I was going for cookies, but the texture and taste were so close to that of a banana muffin that I couldn’t just call them a cookie.  And of course they don’t really look…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #22} Housekeeping

June 29, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! This post almost didn’t happen today.   For my Friday Five Foodie Finds posts, I have been trying to just let the finds come to me…and try to not search for them in order to post every single Friday.  (Does that even make sense?) Well, after hanging out with my good friend Emily to…
