There's a chill in the morning air lately! I am the nerd that’s been calling my closest TJ’s location asking when their fall seasonal products will hit the shelves for a couple weeks now... I haven’t gotten the same person answering the phone so I don’t think I’m quite ‘that person’ but still. 🤣🎃 Check out my run down of this week's Trader Joe's Fall Haul!
Read MoreRaise your hand if you’re ready for all things fall! 🙋♀️ Need some cozy tunes? I got you. Light up your favorite candle and follow The Amateur Apron’s latest playlist “Fall Feels” on Spotify!! Now if the temperature would drop low enough to pull out my sweaters! 😏
Read MoreWhat 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 MoreMy idea of a perfect accessory is always a hat!! 👒 And the only thing that can make a pretty hat prettier, is a bow of course! This summer has been so weird and it’s hard to believe it’s already coming to a close. (Don’t get me wrong, fall is my favorite!!) With social distancing, there haven’t been many opportunities to dress up, but when we have a reason to go somewhere, anywhere, I take that as reason enough to get dolled up haha!
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!
