New podcast interview with The Ampersand Manifesto!

October 19, 2022/ Sara Ramsey

I’m delighted to share that I was interviewed on a podcast called The Ampersand Manifesto!

When my dear friend Jessica Wan asked if I would participate in her new podcast, The Ampersand Manifesto, I was delighted to say yes. Jess is an amazing woman and friend who is currently pursuing her own “ampersand”: as an executive coach and a classically trained singer, she somehow manages to navigate both worlds with a lot of passion and energy.

My “ampersand”, as some of you know, is my writing career and my tech career. I mostly talk about writing on this blog, but the energy I get from both pursuits is core to my values of creation and connection.

Please listen and let me know what you think - I would love to chat more about this topic if you have comments! And give the other episodes in The Ampersand Manifesto a listen as well - there are a lot of really cool people navigating multiple careers/lives, and you may learn some new tricks by listening to how they structure their pursuits!

The Ampersand Manifesto is available on Spotify or other podcast purveyors.

Quarantinechef: eggplant parmigiana

October 31, 2020/ Sara Ramsey

Sometimes (correction: all the time) quarantine calls for cheesy, delicious comfort food. Add this eggplant parmigiana to your fall rotation so that you can pretend you’re in Italy (or even just pretend you’re at the Olive Garden).

Quarantinechef: grilled veg and halloumi salad

August 17, 2020/ Sara Ramsey

It’s still the SUMMERTIME SADNESS edition of #quarantinechef - it’s been 95+ degrees for days in Denver, smoke from wildfires blankets the air, ash has fallen on my patio furniture, and we’re still in the middle of a fucking pandemic.

But I have a grill (and a wine cellar), so I gotta keep going. Tonight’s recipe: grilled vegetables with halloumi cheese and a perfect lemony honey vinaigrette.

Quarantinechef: quinoa tabbouleh

June 21, 2020/ Sara Ramsey

This post is proof that I occasionally eat something healthy. It’s also proof that Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, the Queen of Cosmopolitans, and the goddess of “how simple is that?!”, always creates winning recipes.

Without further ado, I present to you….quinoa tabbouleh!

Quarantinechef: fish tacos

May 17, 2020/ Sara Ramsey

I really want to be on a beach, drinking tequila and eating tacos. But I don’t think I’ll be on a beach again until climate change brings the ocean to Denver, which is at least five years and another apocalypse away.

So in the meantime…I’m making fish tacos at home!
