Semi Healthy Cooking for One

June 26, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

semi healthy cooking for one via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

Cooking for one can be tricky. Especially healthy cooking for one.

Most recipes I find tend to feed 6 or more. While there’s nothing wrong with eating leftovers, not everything is meant to be frozen.

My good friend Katie from 50 States in a Year (read her first guest post about it here), has some updates to share with us about her amazing charity project! They’ve actually changed their charity to partner with Sweat Angels, so they have the opportunity to work with a new charity each month but are still hosting events at Crossfit boxes across the US.

Healthy Veggie Burger with only 6 Ingredients

April 8, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

healthy veggie burger with only 6 ingredients

This healthy veggie burger packs a punch of nutrients including tons of fiber into one tasty package. I thought this recipe was so interesting since one of the main ingredients is the leftover pulp from your juicing excursions. Of course you don’t need to have juice pulp…it would just add some nice flavor and fiber. Woot.
