WELCOME!
If you are here to watch the very first episode of my new show, Food Blogging Diaries, thank you! I am the executive producer, but not the star per se. That’s because while the show is about me and my business, it also features the people that have played a huge role in getting this business to where it is.
Each episode (8 in total) will cover the important part of what we do here, which is, of course, food. They will also highlight the trials, tribulations, and achievements that accompany running a business, navigating social media, and how the heck we remain sane through it all. (Hint: Its belly laughing.) A new episode will go live, RIGHT HERE, every Monday through December.
Food Blogging Diaries: Episode 1
In this episode, you will meet the stars… my team! A lot goes into getting recipes before your eyes. A lot of people have to do a lot of things just for one recipe to be published.
Autumn (has been here 4 years) is the manager, she oversees employees, recipe organization and development, sometimes cooking, and did all the video filming and editing for the last 2 years.
Liz (has been here 2 years) is the head writer. She spent a year “learning my voice” and is the one who researches every blog post and types up every recipe.
Mary (has been here 9 months) is the kitchen assistant and she cooks and bakes all the things. Testing and retesting recipes all day long. And of course, taste testing!
And me, Amanda. I’ve been doing this for 15 years with my first blog being i am mommy and i am baker starting in 2008. Before hiring Autumn I did everything all by my lonesome. Recipe creation, development, testing, writing, photography, videography, and social media. I’ve worn every hat here and I’m sure my employees will tell you that micromanagement is a thing that is alive and well. 😂 I’m in a treatment plan. Kinda. 😉

I love your recipes and comments. Is “Food Blogging Diaries” a video?
love your recipes. glad to see you have your own show. i am normal I do not like ads. more no cook appetizers would be great for me while i am stuck in a nursing home with only a microwave to work with for now. No cook recipes rock for me right now
I’m trying to get rid of the ads on the video… hopefully, they won’t be bothersome in the future!
What an amazing first episode!!! I’m so excited to see the rest! Great job, and fun to meet the team!
LOVED the first episode and can not wait for the rest!
What a fun team, that obviously works hard to provide such quality content!
I loved the first episode and look forward to more!
Oh my word girl!! You are destined for even greater things! This was such fun to watch! So real! Love all your ‘girls’! You appear to be an awesome Team! I can’t wait for the other episodes! Just one question….is there ‘any’ chance that ‘Shirley’ will ever make an appearance?? Just wondering, cause ‘she’ has been there for you! 🙂 Kidding aside, love all that you have done, and shared with us!! You are the best!!
LOL Thank you!! She kinda does… I think it’s Episode 4 or 5 🙂
I want more !!! This was great…and the “big network” was an idiot to not do it your way. They missed out, not you and your team. Wishing you the best on this new endeavor…looking forward to it!
I watched this first episode with interest and a smile, feeling as if I was right there in your lovely kitchen, rather off to the side. Your team seems amazing! (PS: What kind of range do you have?)
Thank you! It’s Zline
I loved it. Keep on.
So fun to see some behind the scenes content! What a great team you have!
