Eat to the beat of your own drum
Saturday, May 11 was Stamp Out Hunger, a food drive coordinated by the National Association of Letter Carriers. You may have received a post card or a plastic bag in your mailbox asking you to leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox. It would be picked up by your letter carrier and [...]
Dear Body, You’re 25 years old. Wow, has the time passed by. I remember when we were riding bikes on Dogwood Street, skinning our knees on gravel and riding as if the road never ended. Playing in the creek at the bottom of the hill in the backyard. Running far away from the boys that [...]
Who doesn’t want to surround themselves with four-legged furry animals? The dog-lover in me sure does, and I’m super excited for Mutt Strut, an event that benefits IndyHumane. Want to get in on this? Of course you do. Here are the details: WHAT: Mutt Strut 2013, presented by IndyHumane WHEN: Saturday, April 27 as early [...]
April 22 – 28 is US VegWeek 2013, an opportunity for individuals, families, organizations or whomever to pledge that their meals will be meat-free for the entire week. I just signed up, and you should too! Why should you pledge to eat meat-free? Well, lots of reason. Health, happiness, the key to living long… or [...]
Do you remember what your school lunch was like? I can break it down by grade – elementary school had the best food. A hot lunch with vegetables, fruits, healthy protein and milk. Friday was the best because of the salad bar. The line would back up so long, we’d run to the cafeteria just [...]
Today’s post is a guest blog from Wade Wingler – a coworker, fellow foodie and now, an author (check his bio at the end of this post). Wade was one of my biggest supporters when I started my food blog. He gets credit for teaching me much of what I know about blogging and social [...]
Many good friendships have started over a pint or tasting glass of beer. Tamre is one of them. For the past few months she’s been heavily working an event called Fishers On Tap, and I knew that when she told me there was not just beer but lots of food involved that I’d have to [...]
I love my pups, but I’ve never made treats for them before. As I learn to treat myself better through food, I figured I ought to do the same for them, too. Dollar and Brandy were so excited, it’s almost like they knew what was going into the mixer was for them. And with it [...]
I really thought I was going to get out of this season without getting sick. Sadly, I was mistaken. Luckily I haven’t had a fever, but head congestion + asthma + mucus = no good, no good. Things are rough at work, too, and I’m sure stress played a huge role in beating down my [...]
Some of you may know that I write for Visit Indy‘s blog, Doing Indy, where I get to share my favorite Indianapolis experiences. Most of my blogs revolve around food, but I have been known to do something crazy like take a sunrise hot air balloon ride or go to Indy Scream Park during Halloween. [...]
We really didn’t need an excuse to get people together for a food feast, but thanks to Food52 and the release of their 2nd cookbook, we had one. Tamre signed up online to host a Food52 party, which meant that she’d be sent lots of goodies (and cookbooks) to giveaway if we hosted a party [...]
If you’re looking for a recipe or a food post, this is not it. This is going to be one of those posts in which I ramble, then delete the rambling, then ramble some more, before I realize that I don’t know how to edit myself. But that’s okay, because you’re here for me, not [...]
My name is Sara - welcome to my small blue kitchen and all of its creations. Here you'll find one-pot meals, my adventures in baking, canning and preserving methods, and a photo or two of my two pups and my loving boyfriend John. These recipes are about my life, and I can't wait to share it all with you!
