DO YOU HAVE ANY BAD HABITS or JUNK FOOD YOU SECRETLY LOVE? I can’t tell you how many times a week I get this question. So today, I answered it, straight up: . It’s so funny, and ~tbh~ I normally avoid this question because I don’t have a quick answer for you…..probably because I don’t […]

I can’t post this recipe today without giving you some low-key full disclosure. I’m not a real sweets kinda girl, but these cookies are straight-up like cookie crack. There, I said it. You have been warned. I’ve made a few batches so far (“recipe testing” and just making extra certain they’re real, real good for […]

I’ve been feeling like a oatmeal connoisseur over here lately (you know, anything for that milk supply).  On a low-key morning that’s meant a little oatmeal bowl for breakfast (with added collagen peptides, chia seeds, a splash of maple, dousing of cinnamon, sprinkle of spirulina, or handful of raisins).  But on a busy morning? Like […]

This sun has been making me do crazy things. Like make tropical cookies while Jack Johnson’s words float around my kitchen like happy little sunshine fairies. Wearing hula skirts. Welcome to my thoughts.  So, when those said cookies turn out to be soo good, but also great for you (as far as cookies go), you let those fairies […]

So last week, I got a call that I’d never refuse. That Molly Moon’s ice cream needed a little winter recipe fun for their new take-home pints. And, would I be interested? I mean, come on. When life gives you beautiful, artisanal ice cream, you take it. Especially when it’s pumpkin clove season. So today, my […]

A dessert that you never have to feel bad eating, is dessert after my own heart. One that happens to make you feel like a little kid again, and I’m done for. So, because it’s hot and it’s summer and I can’t stop sneaking little cold bites of these in the fridge and smiling, I […]

    Rice crispy treats were all the rage at my softball games growing up.  They might have been the reason I continued to play (this may not come as a big ol’ surprise but I was not the team’s MVP, or even close). It was either the after-game treats or the long socks with the […]

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been gluten-free [the root-cause cure for my out-of-nowhere, un-curable-by-medication, hypothyroidism]. People always ask me if I miss it, with a very concerned look on their face. No. Never, actually, I say. Because to be honest, nothing will ever taste as good as being medication free. And like I’m […]

Coffee drinking, as a topic. It goes like this. I like coffee. I’m not above it, health wise. I have it sometimes. When I need it. Or really want it. I think it can be a beautiful thing. Iced, only. With a little bit of coconut water, thank you very much. But only the organic […]

Disclaimer: Chia seed pudding used to sketch me out. I’d see pictures it of floating around the internet and it would make me feel weird inside. Too sketchy. Too far out on the healthy scale, even for me. I mean, to be fair, I’ve never been a pudding girl, even growing up. It was a […]

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 […]

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 […]
