Quinoa’s going mainstream. It’s by no means “new”– it’s one of the most ancient foods out there– but maybe that’s why it’s more suddenly cool. Like vintage clothes and trinkets. Whatever it is, I’m not complaining. Maybe that should be my new marketing tactic. It’s so “vintage” to eat real food. From dreadlock crowded juice […]

If you’re a fan of fast + good, {Ok, who isn’t?} I’ve got a great one for you today. Introducing the cucumber boat. The newest addition to the Simply Real Health Food Files. A little bit crunchy, creamy, (sea) salty and filling, AKA, the perfect snack. The fact that’s it’s good for you is just […]

Don’t laugh, but for some reason I always though curry was a hard thing to make. It always seemed too flavorful and complex to even try at home, for a simple little cook like me. Read: too lazy to bother with it I’d left it to the pros. A typical Sarah order at any Asian […]

Spinach-Artichoke Dip usually reads something like this: Mayonnaise. Cream cheese. Cheese. Sour Cream. tiny amount of spinach. tiny amount of artichoke. Not that I don’t love cheese. I do. As a flavor enhancer. Not as a gut bomb. Call me a minimalist, but by using greek yogurt (full fat, of course because fat is naturally […]

I’ve been holding out on this recipe for a little while. Mostly, not to be hypocritical. You see, “rolled oats” are one of the ingredients. And. Brace yourself people. “Rolled oats” are not technically a true whole food. They are just a tiny (and not the healthy) part of the true whole grain known as […]

Let’s get right down to it today. Why this recipe is Sarah-approved & so very awesome? Let me count the ways: Seasonal– romaine lettuce & tomatoes are at peak season right now. That means great taste and cheaper prices too! Inexpensive- using good quality chicken as a topping instead of the main part of the […]

Some people travel and bring home cool trinkets, art, books or clothes. That’s really nice. And normal. Me, on the other hand. I bring home way too many pictures of what and where I ate. And drank. And the streets that I walked to get there. The classic and ultimate move of a food-dork. I’m […]

Sometimes inspiration for healthy dishes happen to me when I least expect it. Like in the middle of vacation. In Maui. In the middle of cocktails, in the middle of laying on the beach, in the middle of a great book. You never know. We had stopped at this roadside juice bar for a bite […]

Summer is officially here in Seattle. Well, for the week at least. Let us pretend. The season for boating, picnicing, fresh cocktails, and less time in the kitchen in general. In my kitchen, anyways. I, like many Seattlites, have the intense tendency to want to be outside at every possible moment when the weather is […]

There are some HUGE things happening around here. But today, I’ll keep it short and sweet. As long as you promise to stay tuned in the coming week. Deal? Deal. These delicious little bites are traditionally made for dessert. But. I’m currently picking crumbs out of my keyboard this Sunday morning. Hey. From a health […]
