Today was the debut of my monthly craft show on TheMotherhood. I will appear once a month, each month demonstrating a seasonal or holiday specific project that moms can make with their kids.

Friendsgiving with Bailey’s Irish Cream
A couple months ago I was contacted by Bailey’s Irish Cream. They introduced a concept to me that they were working on and wanted me to participate using my food blog, Amanda’s Cookin’.

Amanda’s Cookin’ has moved to WordPress
I’m excited to announce that Amanda’s Cookin’ has been moved from Blogger to WordPress… finally! Been dying to do it for a while. It took me a while to get going on it, but I would say a solid 2-3 days of work on my part, considering I pretty much did it on my own [...]

Back in April I had this idea. I knew that I had gazillions of recipes bookmarked on my computer and earmarked in my cookbooks, and I knew I had a group of food blogger friends in the same boat. I know we all would make recipes from other blogs and blog about them ourselves, but [...]

In that time frame I’ve been a webmaster, freelance writer, crafting expert and recipe developer. It’s about time I created a space to highlight all of [...]
