I love the idea of writing my favorite recipes into a book! That will happily be one of my summer creative projects now:) thank you!

Yay! It is so fun, and useful. Love writing little notes and doodles in with them, too.

Amanda, just wanted to say I always love and look forward to your posts! Thank you for a little insight into your weeks.

I also started writing most loved recipes into a notebook about three years ago. I agree that it is so much nicer than constantly looking them up on a phone and it is also handy for the recipes from various cookbooks (including those from the library). It has become a journal of sorts that shows the evolution of my cooking and contains notes for little tweaks I make along the way.

So glad you enjoy being here! Thank you. The recipe notebook is so fun, and I love, like you said, being able to write notes and modifications and doodles alongside! Great idea, writing recipes from library cookbooks, I always check them out and often take a picture of the recipe I enjoyed, now they will go in the book xx

I love that you can bike so much, that sounds amazing. I work from home currently which saves so much gas and time. It's not forever (long story) yet, I am cherishing all the days my commute is simply going up the stairs to my desk!

We are so grateful to be able to bike almost everywhere! It’s such a pleasure.

Lucky you! I understand the luxury - My husband currently lives only has a 5 minute bike commute, after years and years of commuting to the next city over and dealing with traffic, loss of commute time, etc. it is incredible!
