Then, after a few months, and at the request of some of my followers, I started FitFunandFantastic.com!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your approach to eating\/health?\u00a0<\/strong>My eating approach is focused on intuitive eating. I listen to my body. If I am hungry I eat and if I want candy I have it. That being said I try to primarily eat wholesome ingredients that are unprocessed and rich in nutrients. I also believe that eating healthy does not mean you have to live in the kitchen! Most of my recipes take less than 10 minutes to prep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you always had an interest in healthy food or did it come later in life?<\/strong>\u00a0I definitely was not always this interested in healthy eating. My main sources of food before I taught myself how to cook were: cereal, pizza, and fast food. Until about 3 years ago the only thing I knew how to cook was a box of mac n\u2019 cheese!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite ingredient to use in the kitchen?<\/strong>\u00a0Whoa, I have so many favorites, but, some of my staples are: nutritional yeast, old fashioned oats, peanut flour, protein powder, chia seeds, pumpkin puree, coconut flour, vanilla, butter and maple extracts, non-fat greek yogurt, berries, cottage cheese, eggs, and unsweetened almond milk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Has blogging changed the way you view food and cooking?<\/strong>\u00a0Not really, just that I have to try and make my food look a lot prettier then I would if I were just eating it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite recipe to date?<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fitfunandfantastic.com\/2013\/06\/12\/cheesy-crusted-jalapeno-popper-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cCheesy\u201d Crusted Jalapeno Popper Chicken<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 recipes you&#8217;d like to share with our readers:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fitfunandfantastic.com\/2013\/10\/27\/flourless-blueberry-lemon-pancakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cFlourless\u201d Blueberry Lemon Pancakes<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fitfunandfantastic.com\/2013\/10\/15\/honey-almond-crusted-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Honey Almond Crusted Chicken<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fitfunandfantastic.com\/2013\/10\/10\/pumpkin-ice-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pumpkin \u201cIce Cream\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/12\/food-blogger-spotlight-amy-from-fit-fun-and-fantastic\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94158\" alt=\"pumpkin ice cream\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/pumpkin-ice-cream.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/pumpkin-ice-cream.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/pumpkin-ice-cream-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/pumpkin-ice-cream-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Amy is\u00a0featured in our\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/food-bloggers\">series of spotlights on healthy food bloggers<\/a><\/strong>.
