Not sure why, but trying to figure out which of my regular recipes came from them may just drive me crazy. 😁 And her Insta? Just wow!

Wow…what a trip down memory lane. Lol I remember Kevin and Amanda, the fonts, recipes and the Boston terriers. And it’s so weird to see Jeff and Kristina’s kids looking so old! I remember when they were babies; didn’t they only have the two girls when 2Peas started?

I’ve only been to the site for her spicy sausage pasta recipe. I’ll have to try the pulled pork. That isnt "her" recipe. It is from America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated. I don't like people claiming other people's recipes as their own. 🤷🏼♀️ |

I remember her as a pea and used some of her recipes years ago. I found it strange when she started all the international travel and Kevin never went. Her Dad and sister traveled with her on a few early trips. I haven't followed her in years.

She was a pea who would do a bunch of fonts for the site (I can't remember if they were free or you paid for them) She made them all for free - she was a Pea at the time and offered - you can still find them and download them HERE
I am sad to hear that she and Kevin are not together anymore. I didn't know that. I loved the posts about their Boston Terriers and when she started traveling, I always assumed he was with her and wondered who watched the dogs. I liked her travel photos at first - it was fun to see different places...but she stopped posting about the dogs and scrapbooking (she made some great scrapbooking recipe pages) and when it became all about travel, I kind of stopped keeping up with her (although I do follow her on IG) I guess she kept the name "KevinandAmanda" because it was kind of like her "brand name" |

I'm fairly certain she gave credit to America's Test Kitchen because we liked the spicy sausage so much, I bought the cookbook. I understand what your saying, I'm just not sure in this case that she's guilty. |

I figured out one of her hit recipes. The cheesy party burgers recipe was a huge success with my small group from church. For a while, that was all I was "allowed" to bring to potlucks.  Haven't made them in ages. I'll have to try to sausage pasta recipe. That sounds delicious! Cheesy Party Burgers |

How did you find that out? On Facebook! I follow her on FB too but haven’t really looked in a while bc I thought they were all just recycled recipes. If she’s in so. America right now she’s clearly not developing new recipes! I unfollowed her blog in 2020 when shortly after the whole world shut down, she posted an entry about traveling in India, visiting the Taj Mahal, etc. I realize it was not intentional, simply poor timing, but it was tasteless and tone deaf enough that I couldn't get over it. If you can't adjust your posting schedule for a worldwide pandemic that at that point had everyone terrified? I completely understand that! |

My Gramma used to make them when I was little and I am.older then Amanda I am sure. |

I just looked up her spicy sausage recipe and she doesn’t claim it’s hers. She even includes a paragraph about where it’s from:
This amazing Spicy Sausage Pasta dish is one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite cookbooks, The Best Simple Recipes from America’s Test Kitchens. It’s filled with over 200 recipes for quick and easy dinners that can be ready in thirty minutes or less. Perfect. I’ve gotten so many new dinner recipes for us from this cookbook. And since it’s from America’s Test Kitchens, you know that every single recipe is tried, true, and to-die-for. They even conduct blind taste-testings and tell you what brand of whatever ingredient they’re using is the best. I love stuff like that.

I still use her pulled pork recipe. It's the best. I make her sausage breakfast bake regularly, and a tortellini recipe. |

I follow her on Instagram and whenever someone asks about Kevin she NEVER answers. I find that stupid. If they are divorced why doesn't she just say "we are no longer together".
I can't believe she can afford to travel as much as she does, even if the trips are sponsored. She still needs money for basic living expenses. And I found it weird she relocated to Canada a few years ago (before the pandemic started)

She was a pea who would do a bunch of fonts for the site (I can't remember if they were free or you paid for them). I remember she was doing free fonts with people handwriting on Two Peas. And some yummy recipes. She was fun to chat with when she was on Two Peas. That's where I probably got my handwriting font done for free.. I know it was from 2peas. I do remember her and chatting with her on occasion. I have only gone to their page a half dozen times at most. |

I understand what your saying, I'm just not sure in this case that she's guilty. I use Pioneer Woman's Texas sheet cake all the time... everyone knows it's not "her" recipe including PW... it's done all the time.. Really for the most part, is anyone recipes really their own? Yes, I guess there is, but there are so many that are passed down over and over again, people claim them as 'their'. I have a chicken and rice recipe that is 'ours' but I am sure it came from somewhere else. I know my mom didn't just make it up. But it is ours and people like it. |

And I found it weird she relocated to Canada a few years ago (before the pandemic started) She's making money off the ads and affiliate links, in addition to the sponsored travel. DD has a couple of friends who are full time influencers and they are making 6 figures. She also had the benefit of building up her following (75+k/Instagram; 1+ million/Faceook) while married to someone with a steady income which I'm sure made things easier for her. As for moving to Canada, she didn't mention she'd moved to Canada until July 2021 (or thereabouts). If she's been there a few years as several here have said, it will be a few more years before she admits she is divorced! |

I still use her pulled pork recipe. It's the best. Agree! Tempted to try the recipe, but do you really cook it for 12-15+ hours? It will depend on the size of your roast -but it does take a long time. Low and slow. I know it takes at least 10 hours for me. I use my DOT thermometer that I can leave in the roast, and let it come to the full 200 degrees, or it won't 'pull' well. If your roast is super cold going in or if it is really large - it takes a while. Cooking this is at least a 2 day process for me. I marinate in a 2 gallon zip bag for a day in the fridge - turning it a few times. Then I pop it in the oven early the next day at 225, and it takes all day. It stalls out at around 180 for a while - just leave it in until it hits 200. A "leave in" thermometer is a must for this. I use them for my smoker, so I have them - but it really makes it easier, than opening the oven all the time to take a temp. I use DOT thermometers from Thermoworks. thank you for this, wow, it must be popular it has it's own Google search! I'm gonna try it! It's so good. I think it's the cumin - anything with cumin tastes so good, and it smells SO FREAKING good while it is in the oven! It freezes well - I shred and portion into quart freezer zipper bags, lay flat and freeze. Then they thaw fast and make a great sandwich, or in a tortilla or as nachos! I let the liquid cool and pull off most of the fat and keep that liquid in with the shredded meat. Leave a little fat.  |
