Spoonbread in September

I had a blast cooking with about 150 people from across the country this morning! 😱 My first time leading a virtual cooking class! “In the Kitchen with The Amateur Apron” was a session for the National 4-H Volunteer Conference! 4-H has played a major role in my life, and my husband’s life, and when I was approached by a blog reader to do this segment I knew I wanted to do it! Thanks to Darrell for being my “sous chef” / assistant / camera guy / picture-taking blogger husband. It has been so sweet to watch photos roll in from participants and just to actually cook alongside so many awesome 4-H people all across the country! We baked spoonbread, which is a dish native to my hometown!

Trader Joe's Fall Haul

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!

Pulled Pork Salad

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!

My Gluten Free Journey

September 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.

Sarah's Harvest Salad

Happy 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!”
