This week’s guest is a celebrity - at least in our household! She is the type of friend you call by her first and last name because we’re just waiting for her to get discovered by the Food Network so we can tell everyone we know her way back when. 

Sarah is very skilled in the kitchen. She's a bit of a high achiever and gives everything 110%. For example, on the Saturday we recorded this, Sarah arrived right on time, wearing a stylish cheddar yellow dress with a warm pan of photo-worthy macaroni and cheese. We talked about her mother’s recipe for this quintessential comfort dish, and debated the merits of Team Crispy Top (in the age-old debate between the best ways to enjoy mac and cheese). 

Sarah is the creator of Simply Sarah Salt, a delicious salt blend that I personally use on everything. Yes, everything. We discussed the impact of COVID-19 on Sarah’s work and personal life, and how working from home has saved some time, opening up new opportunities to grow her business. 

As we mentioned in the episode, Sarah invited me to participate in an online focaccia decorating event last Spring. If you are interested in trying this at home, here is an easy recipe and here are some ideas about how to decorate! Oh, and this is the sourdough cracker recipe I like the most, if you’re looking to test one out. 

You can follow all of Sarah's adventures in the kitchen on Instagram at @sarahwhy31. Keep up with her awesome salt business by following @simplysarahsalt. And guess what else: Sarah was gracious enough to share her mom's mac and cheese recipe with us, too! Check it out!
