Amanda is a twenty-something Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Manager turned food blogger living just outside of Boston. She spent the last 5 years working a 9-5, climbing the corporate ladder…and then she got completely burnt out. She moved 3,000+ miles from Boston to San Francisco and then back again, learning more about herself in that year than she had in the previous four, and trading her fears for motivation to create the life she wants.
In the last year, Amanda quit her 9-5, leaving safe, but stagnant to pursue what she loves – writing, specifically about healthy, vegan food.
Amanda blogs at Pickles n Honey and can also be found on Twitter.

I am a certified raw food chef but my real training takes place daily in my home kitchen where I unleash my passion for preparing healthy dishes. I personally believe that each person needs to discover how to feed their own body. We don’t live in a world were one diet fits all. We are all so unique and individualized and our daily menus must cater to that if we want to live in optimal health. I strongly believe that we need to add in fresh, whole foods into our day to day eating and in return this will automatically start to crowd out the not so … optimal foods. It is all a journey and that journey ought to be fun, exciting and filled with great tasting food! Through my recipes I hope you find inspiration that will make your journey a positive and healthy one!
