My sister Angela is the best friend I could ever have. She is my biggest fan, a huge inspiration, SO MUCH FUN, the best to laugh with, and always up for listening to me rant about whatever I'm into that week! There are a couple of things that the people who are closest to me know. I LOVE food, I LOVE healthy food, and I LOVE to cook and bake. I'm always experimenting with the latest thing I read about, different types of diets, exercise classes, pretty much anything I find interesting. Well lately I've been interested in cooking gluten free. Its a whole new world out there that I never knew about! I've lost myself for hours reading so many cool blogs and websites, discovering AMAZING recipes. So of course I've been trying all these awesome recipes and RAVING to my sister Angela all about all of them. I always take pictures of the things I try and have had so much fun. So today I was once again raving to Angela about these awesome cupcakes I tried from an awesome blog called Elanas Pantry. Once we finished talking Angela INSISTED that I start blogging about all this, since it was obvious how passionate I was. Attached is the picture of the cupcake I made today. It was SCRUMPTIOUS!!! So this is my first post on my new blog. Simply Sara. Credit goes to my creative sister Angela. I'm excited to update this blog and talk about all the cool new recipes I've tried, the things that went well, the things that totally FLOP and all the fun that goes along with it :)
So Angela this is dedicated to you :) I love you so much and I cant imagine having a better sister than you!
Love Sara

This is how the girl in Julie and Julia got started. Maybe a new career.
ReplyDeleteOh fun!! I'm always looking for new recipes that are healthy and YUMMY too!! Can't wait to see what you have in store. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Sara!! Looking forward to keeping up with you and your recipes on here :o)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering...did you sub anything for the grapeseed oil, etc...where do you find that kind of stuff? Especially in a small town.LOL
Hey Marjorie! I'm looking forward to meeting you in April :) Yes. I subsitute grapeseed oil with either melted butter or melted coconut oil. However the coconut oil does have a flavor that will come through in the end product. I just happen to love coconut so it doesnt bother me. I also make substitutions for the Agave. I either use Maple Syrup, honey, Stevia, or Xylitol. I've also used coconut sugar. Really you can use any sweetener you like :) I buy some of my stuff from this site http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=IKA501 . Its called iherb and its awesome. You get 5 dollars off the first time you use it and then you get a code, whoever orders stuff using your code you get credits and money! So using my code above I get credit for what you buy and they when people buy stuff with your code you get credit for what they buy :) Plus their prices are VERY competitive. I also buy stuff on Amazon :)
ReplyDeleteSara, how exciting! I've been wanting to try new recipes, but the ones I'm trying aren't all that healthy so, thank you for sharing! On another note, you are absolutely the sweetest young lady I know, and I just love you, so I'm really looking forward to 'following' your posts. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! I will definitely check that site out. And I'm looking forward to your visit too!! Have a great week!!
