Hi! I'm Sarah. Welcome to Bear Kitch. Around here we relish in cooking with ease. Making healthy recipes that are approachable and most importantly, fun! So put on your chef's hat and stay a while.
I’m always looking for recipes that take On my most recent trip to Costco I purchased a wok (even though I went there for paper towels)… Anyway, I have been searching for a recipe to make in my wok, but honestly I don’t typically cook Asian cuisine, so I stepped a bit outside of my comfort zone…
Last week I was walking home from work and the noticed the air was crisp and the leaves were turning. I had the sudden urge to make something quintessential to fall and comforting for dinner. When I got to the store spaghetti squash immediately caught my eye…
Brownies are hands down my favorite dessert item. There’s just something about a warm, fresh, out of the oven, gooey brownie. But, like all dessert items, brownies aren’t entirely…health conscious. In an effort to lighten up your traditional brownie, I tried a recipe for sweet potato brownies that I saw a few months back…
Fall is upon us, which means it's time to a) pretend to like football, b) bust out the pumpkin spice, and c) make some dang chili. I love making chili because there are so many different variations of the classic recipe. You can feed a hefty amount of people with just one pot of chili, or have your meals prepped for the week…
Last week I had the sudden urge to make a ton of homemade pie dough to have in my freezer for future baking endeavors. Yes, these are my Friday nights now. However, I have a mixed relationship with homemade dough. I once spent 3+ hours trying to perfect a pie crust that just would not roll out without falling apart…
Mussels are one of my favorite things to order when I see them on a menu. They are so light and flavorful. However, my favorite part about mussels? The broth. There is nothing like dunking some bread into a delicious broth…
I think pineapple upside down cake is a significantly underrated dessert. When I was young I had a nanny who would always make pineapple upside down cake. I absolutely LOVED it, but never really have it much as an adult…
Want to know the great thing about scallops (besides being absolutely delicious)? They are super easy (and quick) to make, and are an absolute crowd pleaser meal. Scallops are naturally sweet, so they are best paired with a simple sauce. These scallops are pan seared in a flavorful butter sage sauce…
Who's my absolute chef idol? Ina Garten, duh. Pretty much everything Ina Garten touches turns to gold, and her recipes truly are foolproof. About a year ago I threw a dinner party and made Ina's Sticky Toffee Date Cake with Bourbon Glaze…
Is there anything better than a perfectly ripe avocado? Why yes, yes there is. A creamy smoked salmon stuffed avocado. I have been seeing stuffed avocados pop up on food blogs and menus a lot recently. Tuna salad stuffed avocados, caprese stuffed avocados, egg stuffed avocados, etc…
If I could eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would be sushi. Ever since I was a little girl, I have LOVED sushi. My parents literally used to pack my seaweed in my lunch box... now it makes sense why was I never invited to play post lunch...
I remember having baked eggs at brunch a few months ago and thinking, "I could make this!" Baked eggs have become a full proof breakfast staple in my household. This is one of those dishes that you can get creative with…
This recipe is a lightened up version of your classic spinach and artichoke dip, and takes all of twenty minutes to make. The red pepper flakes add a nice kick, and the lemon zest a nice tang.
Summers in San Francisco are pretty much non existent, and these foggy nights have had me craving some spicy ramen. There's just nothing quite like ramen on a cold night…
As a pescatarian, buddha bowls are my jam. What is a buddha bowl? Basically a buddha bowl is a balanced, plant-based meal... in a bowl…
Tuna has always been one of my favorite fish to cook (and eat). Tuna salad? Yep. Spicy tuna roll? Sign me up. Seared ahi? Fire up the cast iron! And these days, who doesn't put avocado mash on..everything…
Need a quick, easy, delicious and aesthetically pleasing appetizer? Pop by the cheese aisle (I'm giving you an excuse here) and snag some burrata.
Hosting a brunch and unsure what to make for all your guests? Enter : quiche. Quiche is my go-to whenever we host a brunch. It is easy to make, can be prepped ahead of time, and is an automatic crowd pleaser. I usually make one vegetarian option and one meat option.
It's Watermelon season! I love cooking with watermelons in the summer because they are so seasonal. Watermelons are super sweet and have a crunchy texture so they’re great in salads! This is my go-to for all summer BBQs. It takes about 5-10 minutes to make and is always a total hit!
Okay so it's true, I have a slight obsession with crab cakes. While I'm still in denial that they are (relatively) unhealthy, I've been on a mission to perfect a healthy version of my favorite food.
