Friday Feature | Making Thyme for Health

August 9, 2013 by Hillary 5 Comments

Hey ya’ll! I’m excited to bring you the third edition of Friday Feature. Today we have the stunning Sarah of Making Thyme for Health. If you haven’t stumbled across Sarah’s blog yet, you’re missing out. Although she just recently started publishing posts at the beginning of this year, her food photography skills and recipes are up there with the pros.

Sarah and I decided to do a post swap today, so be sure to head on over to her site to get in on the juicy details she asked me ;)

 Q & A with Sarah Cook | Making Thyme for Health

1. What/who are your greatest inspirations for your healthy kitchen creations? How did your blog come to be?

I would say my greatest inspiration is drawn from all of the delicious local food that surrounds me in Northern California. I know you can attest to that too, Hillary!

I’m also inspired by all of the wonderful blogs that I have enjoyed reading for so many years; I often base my recipes off something I’ve seen on another blog, such as my Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burgers that I adapted from Eat Live Run.

My interest in healthy eating and exercise started to peak around 2008, right after graduating from college. I began searching for new recipes and advice online and stumbled upon a few blogs that I found myself going back to on a regular basis. The longer I read them, the more connected I felt to the authors as I found we shared similar passions for cooking and striving to live a healthy lifestyle. I started my own blog so that I could connect with others and share my passions to hopefully help inspire them, too.

2. Is there something you are afraid to cook or bake?

Great question! I am very afraid of gluten-free baking. I have experimented with it several times and failed miserably. I usually try to bake things without starches or gum,s which is probably why I’ve had so many failures; but, I’ve had a few successes that were worth it, like my Chocolate Chip Yogurt Donuts.

Trying to bake things that are actually healthy is a huge challenge that I continue to try to master.

3. If we were to open your fridge in this moment, what would we find?

Well, I usually restock things on Fridays, so at this moment, it’s looking a little bare! There is a huge container of watermelon I just sliced up last night, a few apples, an avocado, and some left over quinoa chili. And there are also the staples that I always have on hand: unsweetened vanilla almond milk from Trader Joe’s, sprouted grain bagels or English muffins, Greek yogurt and almond butter.

4. Your travels are featured on your blog, too. What are your favorite trips and/or traveling experiences?

I’m glad you left this question plural because I don’t think I could pick one single trip. Paris will always hold a special place in my heart. It was so incredibly romantic and full of history. I literally felt as though I was being transported to a different time while I was there. The food, the architecture, the wine, the culture…I could go on forever.

I also loved spending time in Germany, especially Cochem. The views of the city surrounding the Mosel River are so beautiful and the air was so fresh and clean. Plus, it didn’t hurt that it is considered to be the “wine country” of Germany.

5. What are your non-food/cooking related hobbies? What would we find you doing in your “free time”? 

Actually, you will find a lot of my hobbies in the different sections of my blog. I was so excited when Brandon told me he got the job in the East Bay area because I seriously love wine… And I also enjoy spending as much time as possible outdoors, so in my free time, you can find me hiking or gracefully sipping wine at a vineyard. ;)

I also like to kick back and relax with a good book. I enjoy books from authors like Emily Giffin and Judy Blume.

    I just read Sarah’s blog, then hopped over to yours. This is such a good idea for a feature! It’s fun to learn about new bloggers and realize that you have things in common – for example, Paris was one of my favorite travel destinations, too!

    I’m not sure which one looks more delicious, the veggie burger or the dessert!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
