What I love most about this salad: it’s full of flavor and crunch!! If you’re looking for dinner options you can prep ahead of time, allow me to introduce you to my latest concoction/recipe: The Pulled Pork Salad! It is fresh, delicious, packed with veggies and requries ZERO stove time! Plus it’s topped with a fun twist - Frito’s!
Read MoreSeptember marks 5 years of my gluten free journey! 2015 seems like so long when I think about all the life changes that occurred in that timeframe but it kinda also feels like just yesterday! I remember the frustration and difficulty of those first few weeks and so many crazy disaster recipe experiments along the way. Today I’m reflecting on these past five years and talking about the path to discovering my gluten intolerance.
Read MoreHappy September!! This is the day I personally deem acceptable to decorate for fall LOL. So I may have started the morning digging out my painted gingham pumpkins and working on a few more to add to the collection… 🤪🎃🍂 I felt a little ambitious with all the fall excitement and made my own take on Sweetgreen’s Harvest Warm Bowl for lunch. Check out my recipe for the similar [but different] salad I whipped up this afternoon, on the blog. I’ve decided to call it… “Sarah’s Harvest Salad!”
Read MoreNew favorite part of my morning rhythm: making a latte at home!! We recently purchased a budget-friendly espresso machine and I’m “spilling the beans” about it on the blog today!
Read MoreToday’s adventuring took us to Columbia, SC for the afternoon. We explored the state capitol grounds and walked a few blocks over for lunch at the Blue Marlin. At least by appearances, the Blue Marlin looks like it is housed in an old train station. Talk about exceptional southern hospitality and low country inspired fare!
Read MoreWe ate our veggies in a fun way tonight - snuck into our pizza and cheese sticks! That’s right. Gluten free pizza AND cheese sticks for this wild Saturday night in! I absolutely love the Caulipower pizza crusts (made from cauliflower) for an awesome gluten free alternative. We kept it simple with pepperoni as our topping (Penny approved) and paired it with recipe I was super excited to try out - Zucchini Cheese Sticks! These gluten free wonders were delicious and required very few ingredients! They were made even easier with the help of a new gadget I can’t wait to tell you about!
Read MoreWe took a little adventure to Mount Pleasant today and enjoyed a waterfront, socially distant dinner. We basically made a little date out of going to a different part of the state for a brief meeting. We figured, why not check out a restaurant and make the most of the 6 hours on the road? I reached out to a new IG friend, Brittney, who provided us with some awesome recommendations. We went with one of her suggestions, Tavern & Table on Shem Creek. We were thoroughly impressed with their social distancing precautions and their food!!
Read MoreWhile the beginning of the school year tends to signal the kickoff of “fall” we’re technically only a little past the halfway point in summer (I googled it, apparently halfway was 8/5 lol). Luckily this means lots more time for summer sweet treats! Today, I’m rounding up the summer desserts I’ve enjoyed making thus far - including one of the most popular posts on The Amateur Apron, my delicious gluten free recipe for a classic ice cream treat!
Read MoreA Simple and Sophisticated Appetizer
We had a very chill weekend celebrating my birthday, just hanging out around the apartment. We cooked risotto and steak, I beat Darrell in 3/3 rounds of Sequence, and we stayed up late to catch the latest episode of Big Brother! I whipped up this incredible appetizer in place of a birthday cake for my special treat and it was sheer perfection!
