Curry Roasted Butternut Squash
A recipe inspired by the Winter Meal Plan. And my new favorite January snack. Because simple + “barely a recipe” are my jam. And maybe welcomed now more than ever, after wrapping up the glittery, swoon-filled and fancy holidays. I just want back to my simple and easy. To good, clean food. That’s satisfying. And […]
Sweet Thumbprint Cookies [gluten-free, vegan + dairy-free too]
Tiny things are always better. They’re fascinating. And special. You may more attention to them. Which is good when we’re talking about eating cookies. Mindfulness is actually always a good thing when talking about what you’re eating. But even more so with desserts [and wine, and flour based stuff]. And even more so this time […]
Favorite Healthy Picks @ Trader Joes (Round 2) {VIDEO}
Yuuup. Back with Round 2. I blame it on the scary proximity to my house. Seriously. I have more of a problem restraining myself from a casual 3 block stroll to Trader Joe’s, than I do passing by the beautiful hand foraged doughnut shop, organic coffee + pastry shop, and brick fired oven pizza restaurant […]

Pumpkin Peanut-Butter Molten Cake Cups
Fact: Dessert is one of the great things about life. Fact: Too many great things will make you feel not great, especially when it involves sugar. “Not great” in the Sarah books = energy wise, sleep wise, mood wise, and productivity wise. Weight wise, sure. That too. But, in my experience with clients, those first […]
Coconut + Orange Crisp Macaroons
There’s actually nothing better when two great things become one. Both things just seem to get better, right? Recipes, people. For ease and less ingredient waste, in my head, it’s also the only way to go. So after a great month of little mini housewarming dins and nights with friends and family popping by the […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Grain-Free Granola

Peach, Avocado, Basil + Pistachio Salad
I call it a tweener. The [not awkward] time between summer and fall. If only my own growing up years had been as easy. And seamless. And nice to look at. Where one thing easily flows to the next. Like when peaches and tomatoes are ripe and sweet and falling off of the vines, the […]
What Is Healthy Food, Really? You May Be Shocked.
Ignorance ain’t bliss all the time. Especially if food is involved. Eating healthy is great………..if you know what you’re doing. Not just THINK you know what you’re doing. But REALLY know. Like eating truly healthy food [aka,real food, whole food, naturally occuring food] vs food that is marketed to you as being so. Because the […]
Sweet Cantaloupe Sorbet
Real food, made simply so you can love and enjoy better health. Simply, Real, Health. That’s the name of the game. My favorite game. This is one of those weeks where I started laughing to myself about my “recipe” of the week. That word seems to be a bit flattering. So much so that I […]
