Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Bake
When I was in high school, dinnertime was a little complicated for our family. My parents worked. I had many activities and a job. So getting dinner on the table for all of us? It was challenging. Because there was seldom much time between when my parents got home and when I needed to go [...]
Two Cheese Steak Flatbread Pizza with Swiss Chard Chimichurri
Friday night in our house is Family Movie Night. It’s a family tradition that started in the dark days of winter a few years ago when I felt like work was encroaching too much on life. So I decided to do something about it … and one Friday, I announced it was Family Movie Night, [...]
DIY Dip-Dyed Halloween Kitchen Towels
Halloween is a-coming and I couldn’t be happier. Last year, Halloween was weird for us given the unexpectedly bad blizzard and power outage that nearly cancelled it altogether here. So this year, I want Halloween to be big for us. Pumpkins and decorations and creepy snacks, oh my! But while I plan on decorating our [...]
Back to School: Hosting a Back to School Party (And a Giveaway!)
Going back to school can be bittersweet. For families with school age children, it represents the unofficial end of summer and the return of structure.

Join Me for the #PlatesofPork Twitter Party Tonight
Hope you are all having great summers! There’s something to be said for easy meals that can be enjoyed without taking away from the fun with long prep times. Pulled pork falls into that category for me (especially since I usually make mine in a slow cooker). This evening, I will be cohosting a fun [...]
Spontaneous Summer S’mores
I believe in being spontaneous. It’s what summertime is all about. The last minute decision to take a walk past all the beachfront homes, letting yourself imagine what it would be like to live there. The turn-on-a-dime choice to close the laptop and run off to the beach to play in the sand. The mid-dinner [...]
Business of Blogging: Business Cards
The hotel is booked. My husband has planned time off to take care of the kids. And my elevator pitch is mentally ready. BlogHer 2012 is coming up fast and I’m preparing for my trip. But with the recent launch of Sarah by the Sea, there’s one thing missing: business cards that present both my [...]
Cheesy Italian Roast Beef on Garlic Bread
Have you been eating outdoors? We often take our lunch down to the beach to enjoy or pile around the backyard picnic table. And picnics? We love those. When I was asked to join the “30 Days of Outdoor Dining” event put on by Land O’Lakes and Kitchen PLAY in July, I said yes [...]
Review: Domino Light
Did you know that I have a serious sweet tooth? I do, and I am not afraid to indulge it. But sometimes, it’s really key to cut back where you can. So when I was asked to review the new Domino Light sweetener, it made sense to give it a shot. So what is it? [...]
