Sticky Toffee Pudding with Cardamom Mascarpone Cream

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, November 14, 2023

I was totally inspired by the Angry English Chef the other night to make my own Sticky Toffee Pudding. Sure, I was tempted to make it gluten-free with my go-to almond flour and coconut flour combination. Maybe I could have used Swerve sweetener to take down the sugar content but then I thought, whatever, just …

Toffee Pumpkin Spiced Lattes

By Amber Woods on Thursday, November 9, 2023

Why am I spinning through the autumn oak leaves in my brand-new to me, thrift store workout skirt? Why have I been throwing bunches of freshly fallen leaves in the air daily? And why exactly have I been walking my cat on a leash around the neighborhood? The neighbors may be wondering why do I …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a alpine adventure enabler who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
