About Me
About Me.
- I have a severe peanut allergy. Unfortunately, peanut butter was one of my favorite foods, but now of course I can’t eat it. It’s funny, too. I used to eat it everyday- especially after my nutritionist suggested I eat it for its healthy fats. What’s even funnier is the story of how I developed my allergy. Well, it’s not hilarious but more precisely, weird. I got bit by a bat and had to get rabies shots. The allergist thinks the shots contributed to my allergy. I discovered later that the bat actually came from the building that my boyfriend owns. (I didn’t know him at the time of the bat bite.) I love him, but he owes me ; )
- I live in a really small town. I mean, really small. The closest mall is about 45 minutes away. I only have the choice of two local grocery stores- Fresh and Green’s and Acme. I save trips to Trader Joe’s, Giant, or Whole Foods for the occasional weekend treat. But I do love our farmer’s market.
- I have both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English literature. For the longest time, I wanted to be an English professor. Now, I’m not so sure…
- I love, love, love magazines. I’ll read just about any of them, but I do have favorites like Cooking Light, Martha Stewart Living, and Real Simple.
- I’m a certified zumba instructor, and I LOVE it! It’s the best workout, and I always feel my most joyous when I’m dancing.
This is me and my little sister in beautiful Martha’s Vineyard.

You are quite amazing, did you know that?
Both of you are too beautiful for words!
I was totally that girl in gym class too! And I used to always argue that I was still in really great shape because I was a dancer. Glad I’m not the only one!
We are a lot alike.
I grew up in a small town too (population 800) with one stop light and one corner store. The closest mall is slightly closer at @ 30 mins! Luckily I now live in an area where the supermarket is not an all day event. I have a B.A in English and am working on my M.A in Literature. And furthermore, I was also that girl in gym class!
I just found your blog and I think you do a really great job!
I live in a pretty small college town right now. My options are Walmart and Kroger for grocerys and I sadly have no idea where the closest Trader Joes or Whole Foods is :/
I’m glad you stopped by my blog. I came to check out yours and saw donuts. Yep! I’m hooked!!!
The bat bite story is quite incredible. Yikes!
I grew up in a small town with a Kroger and a Piggly Wiggly. I feel so spoiled now with Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods on my doorstep. My mother likes to remind me that I’m spoiled when I post about things that she can’t find back in Arkansas! I once had to mail her a can of tahini so that she could make hummus.
I can’t wait to read more!
I love the NYC Ballet dvd too!! For a while, it was my favorite dvd ever–then I lost it. I go to a dance/yoga fusion class these days that combines my love of yoga with a lot of the ballet moves from that DVD, but I need to buy myself a new copy. Thanks for the reminder
I’m so glad you are out here sharing your story.
Hi Sarah! I’m glad I found your blog through foodbuzz. You and your sis are gorgeous and all your food looks great! I’m horribly unathtletic too, but I’m working on it!
Sarah I love your blog! Your story is amazing! I can’t wait to read more of your blog!
You’re so cute! I completed a B.A. in English, and I’m working on my M.A.T. in Secondary English. What do you think you want to do now if not teach? I’m not sold on the idea, but I am going to give it a try… haha. Glad to have stumbled upon your blog.
So glad you found me! Ideally I’d like to work in public relations for a museum or theater one day. It would be so much fun to write the brochures and work on the ad campaigns. Can’t wait to check out your blog, too.
Hi Sarah! Just another Zumba instructor named Sarah dropping by to say I stumbled onto your blog and love it!
Thank you so much!
