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 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 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 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 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!
Read MoreWhile the beginning of the school year tends to signal the kickoff of “fall” we’re technically only a little past the halfway point in summer (I googled it, apparently halfway was 8/5 lol). Luckily this means lots more time for summer sweet treats! Today, I’m rounding up the summer desserts I’ve enjoyed making thus far - including one of the most popular posts on The Amateur Apron, my delicious gluten free recipe for a classic ice cream treat!

We had a very chill weekend celebrating my birthday, just hanging out around the apartment. We cooked risotto and steak, I beat Darrell in 3/3 rounds of Sequence, and we stayed up late to catch the latest episode of Big Brother! I whipped up this incredible appetizer in place of a birthday cake for my special treat and it was sheer perfection!
Read MoreQuick post tonight! We tried a recipe for Strawberry Slaw this evening and LOVED it! Glad we have leftovers because I’m excited to eat it again tomorrow as part of my lunch!! I love finding cooler side dishes for summer nights and this one is perfect! It’s relatively quick (especially with a few shortcuts) and requires simple ingredients.
Read MoreAnother summer treat! This time, I wanted to give smores bars a try with gluten free graham crackers and my favorite gluten free flour! I added a little twist to the recipe which resulted in fluffier bars than expected but we’ll get to that. Check out my recap of this recipe modification.
