In mid-November, I flew back from spending the weekend at my grandparents’ house in Arizona. As we boarded the plane, a tiny aircraft with only fourteen rows and two seats per side (and the stewardess even asked people to change seats before taking off to evenly distribute our weight in the cabin!), I ended up next to a nice lady slightly younger than my parents’ age.
During the two-hour flight, she flipped through a magazine and watched part of a movie on her laptop while I typed away on mine, writing new blog posts to share with you and organizing my recipe calendar for January. After we landed in California and started standing up to exit the plane, she turned to me and asked, “Are you a blogger?”
Completely surprised, it took me a few seconds to reply, “Yes, I am!”
Very few strangers I’ve met fully understand the concept of blogging, and even fewer realize that it’s possible to turn blogging into a full-time job… But that’s exactly what I’ve done with Amy’s Healthy Baking, thanks to you!
Your interest in my recipes and cookbook, whether you’ve tried every single one or simply browsed around my website, whether you’ve saved my recipes on Pinterest or Facebook, whether you’ve shared their links with your family and friends, whether you’ve baked my recipes and posted pictures on Instagram…
All of those little things have added up and allowed me to turn Amy’s Healthy Baking into my full-time job. That’s truly a dream come true for me, and I’m incredibly grateful!
So to say thank you, I’m putting the spotlight back on you today! Here are some of the recipes that you’ve tried and pictures that you’ve shared on Instagram. I truly appreciate each and every time you do that; it really means the world to me! ♥
If you’re interested in starting a blog too, I have a super easy step-by-step guide on how you can start your own blog here. It takes less than 30 minutes!

Would you like to see your picture in my next Sunday Spotlight? Then share it with me on Instagram using #amyshealthybaking and tag @amyshealthybaking IN the photo itself. (That guarantees I’ll see your picture! ?) I can’t wait to see what recipes you make!
Amy I look so forward to Sundays to see what everyone has been baking. I just want to head to the kitchen!! Thank you as well for the spotlight..I am a huge fan of all your recipes. My kids are coming home this week to celebrate Christmas, so I’m thinking a full day in the kitchen might be in order. Have a beautiful day and happy baking.
You’re welcome Lynn, and thank YOU! That means a lot to me! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you and your kids bake for Christmas!
Amy, I love your recipes. I can’t wait to try the ones that you posted today.
looks like everyone has done you proud by making your healthy recipes. I don’t think people realise how much work does go into blogging that’s why I haven’t taken it up lol. Have a great week xoxo

Hello Amy, I am a father to 4 grown children and have 5 grandchildren along with be married to my soul mate. My passion is cooking. Everything scratch. So much so I was up to 295 pounds. March 1st of this year I decided to take charge of my weight. With exercise and your amazing recipes I am down to 195. Have tried most of your recipes. Thank You so much! You have been life changing.
Congratulations Terry!! That is absolutely amazing and completely incredible to hear. It takes a lot to determination and perseverance to change our old habits and stick with a new lifestyle. Good for you!! I’m truly touched that my recipes could contribute to your weight loss journey; that really means so much to me. In my 6+ years of blogging, your kind comment has been the best one I’ve ever received and the only time I’ve been left speechless. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and let me know — I’m on Cloud Nine just thinking about your amazing transformation! 🙂
