Semi Healthy Cooking for One

June 26, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

April 12, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I took half a dozen colorful, hard-boiled eggs off my grandma K’s hands.   I know, I’m such a sweetheart!

Leftovers 101: EAT THEM ALREADY!

September 2, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Being in my current situation…no kiddos and no husband to feed, a Daddio who usually only eats popcorn, and the BF who I don’t have to cook for every night…I usually have lots of leftovers!   I find myself eating leftover enchiladas (I always try to spell that with two ‘l’s) and pizza days in a row…
