Can a blog have a birthday? Or is it better referred to as an anniversary? Whatever the case, five years ago today, I sat down at my old laptop and wrote the very first post ever for Sarah’s Cucina Bella. Coming from a journalism background, I hemmed and hawed about publishing it without an editor to double check and and finesse it a bit … But finally, I hit publish and there it was.
I wasn’t really sure where this blogging thing would lead, but I was hoping it would open doors into food writing for me. It did, and I am forever grateful.
The cool part though? One day, someone I didn’t know left me a comment. People — beyond my friends — were reading! Writing this blog has been so much fun over the past five years, and I am excited for what the future will bring. Thank you so much for reading Sarah’s Cucina Bella.

I am a newbie on your site. I love the recipe for Olive Brussels Sprouts with Feta, Roasted Red Peppers and Bacon. I am not a brussels sprouts fan but this sounds delicious. Happy Birthday!

Happy blog birthday!!! I love all your posts, and I look forward to each new one, but one that I've tried and loved was the Extra Crispy Homemade Fried Chicken. It's easy and soooo tasty! Thanks for all the great recipes. :)

My favorite post is from May (https://sarahscucinabella.com/2007/08/07/organic-hot-chocolate-mmmm/) because my fiancé uses this all the time to since the weather has started to cool off. She knows hot chocolate is my favorite drink and it gives us a good reason to cuddle up and watch a movie.

Congratulations! 5 years is huge milestone. I just came across your blog so I don't have any favorites yet, but I have plenty of posts to look over and I'm sure I'll find some favorites.
