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)

Aunt Amanda

December 7, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Today I had the day off from babysitting, so I had planned on working on my Nutrition paper ALL DAY LONG. Just one day to type it all out, get the rest of the facts I wanted and then I would have Friday and Saturday to edit.  It’s due Sunday (originally I flipped…

Thanksgiving 2012

November 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I took a surprisingly small amount of photos this holiday….okay I took some, but seriously, remember last Thanksgiving??  Lots of pictures…like this sweet one! My sis Rachel and I hung out the night before to do some baking and like last year…she didn’t really do much of anything except be a goofball. What…

Baby Shower–It’s a Boy!

October 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! No friends, I’m not preggers.  Someday!  But for now I am in a near-constant battle with Chemistry and I’m pretty sure it is better done sans kiddos.  I get my baby fix at my nannying job and occasional babysitting.  And soon I will get it through my little nephew! My sister Courtney is…

Spicy Mexican Chicken Tacos

October 19, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! As promised in Wednesday’s WIAW post, AND on my Semi-Healthy Facebook Page (if you haven’t already, head on over and “like” it to help me reach 200 “likes!!”) I am sharing a taco recipe that’s sure to kick you in the mouth. What a first line huh?  Don’t leave!  They won’t actually hurt…

{WIAW #38} Family Time

August 30, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Oh I needed some family and love this past Sunday!  School was really getting to me last week and it was so refreshing to be around people I love and have some good laughs, good food, and a nice long walk reminiscing about things like how my friends and I used to make…

Goodbye Grandma Knapp

August 14, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but my weekend went by with a big whoosh! Thursday night, late late at night, Dave (the BF)’s dear grandmother passed away.  She was 99 years old and lived a long and feisty life.  I only knew her from visiting her in the nursing home and she was…

{WIAW #34} Summer Staples

August 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up.  I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today.  (*sigh* I broke down…

Zoo-exercise

June 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well I am pooped.  And famished.  (And overly-dramatic.) Today I had the pleasure of exploring the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.  Apparently Trip Advisor rated it the best zoo in the US.  No big deal. 😉 I’m so excited!! I met my good friend Emily who had her little babe Rhea and the little…

The Day Before

May 20, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well it’s been tapering week!  (Which to be quite honest…wasn’t all too different from a lot of other weeks in my training for my first ever half marathon.) I only ran a short run once, instead of two short and one long run.  I tried to mostly get some walking in. Sunday: Rest/Eat…

Happy (Late) Mother’s Day + Cupcake Champs

May 17, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy (Late) Mother’s Day Friends! Apparently we celebrate things late in my family.   Celebrated the Daddio’s birthday a week late…celebrated Mother’s Day last night… It’s okay though, as long as we get together right? As I said, last night we celebrated Mother’s Day with my family (minus sister Courtney..she was working). Sister Rachel, Brother Josh,…
