Hi! I'm Sara Lenton. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet - I'm so glad to have you here.

As an illustrator and designer with a love for food and cooking, I started this blog as a way to document my love for food while also flexing my artistic muscles. That's why you'll notice that each post is accompanied by an original illustration, in addition to photos. You can purchase prints and other products with my illustration work on them in my Society6 shop.

This blog allows me to share a slice of myself with the world in a way that I hope is relatable and fun, and more specifically enables me to share my enthusiasm for food and cooking at home. I have a considerable sweet tooth (as in I'd gladly choose "cake over steak"), so I tend to share a lot of desserts, like My Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (or my Ultimate VEGAN Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe), or a fruity slab pie.

But I don't like to put myself in too much of a box, so you'll also find easy weeknight dinners like peanut butter chicken and broccoli, my favorite method for homemade pizza (use it to make this fig and goat cheese one with honey), or orange-ginger salmon packets. I eat just about anything, but try to balance my cookie intake with plenty of vegetables, and I like to cook from scratch with whole ingredients as often as possible. 

My love for food shows up in other ways, too: pizza crawls in local cities, fun dinner parties themed around something like whiskey, pumpkin or Gilmore Girls, or recaps of everything I ate on a trip, like in Amsterdam or London.

In 2019 my love for food (and travel) branched out into my podcast, called Passports and Pizza, which I host with my friend Laura. If you enjoy my blog and want to get to know me even better, head over there. We talk about everything from frozen pizza to traveling on a budget to mental health, and we have a blast.

When I'm not working on this blog or the podcast, you can find me listening to other podcasts, reading books (novels and cookbooks), baking for fun, exercising, or chilling on the couch with a cozy TV show.

If you'd like to chat about something or you'd like to work with me, please reach out. Thanks so much for visiting!
