{Friday Five Foodie Finds #27} Baking Itch

February 15, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! I have the itch. The baking itch. I mean it hasn’t been that long since my last baking excursion…but a week is long enough!  I am getting ready to head out for the weekend to hang out at the hotel that is Dave (the BF)’s home most of the time and I won’t…

 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…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #25} Healthy Eats to Make

September 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday Friends!   Wow I am surprised at this round-up.  I actually picked healthy foods…I’m pretty sure the last couple of Friday Five Foodie Finds consisted of desserts.  Semi-healthy desserts on the last one, but desserts nonetheless. I will probably be headed out to my cardio fitness class at school, listening to Chronicles of…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #24} Semi-Healthy Sweets

August 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   My sweet tooth seemed to be in full-fledge action the past couple of weeks as I gathered recipes that I want to someday make or that inspire me or that quite simply look mouth-watering.   All of these recipes are deemed by me to be semi-healthy.  Meaning that there is some form…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #23} Sweet Tooth Day

July 20, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! I just looked at my google countdown and eek!  Only a month left until I head  back to school! I’m sad the summer is half-way over since I’ve been having so much fun with blogging things, writing lots of guest posts (three new ones will be up on blogs next Tuesday and another…

{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…

{FFFF #20} Blog Reading Guilt

May 18, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Happy Friday Friends! I haven’t done a Friday Five Foodie Finds for…awhile.  (Oh I just checked..it was a month ago.) That’s okay though!  I just selected the best of the best over the last month. 😉 Truth be told, I’m not a very good blog reader.  Not that in a normal world this would be…

{Friday Five Foodie Finds #18}

March 16, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

  Happy Friday Friends! Well I was going to run 6 miles this morning.   Then when my alarm clock went off I convinced myself I should just run after class…and therefore right before work. We will see how that goes huh?  With warm temps and little time to run a distance that I’m not sure…
