Hi, I'm Sarah.

I'm a home cook, a weekend renovator, and the person behind Simmer & Sawdust.

This started on Instagram and TikTok, sharing what was cooking and whatever wall I was painting that week. People kept asking for the full recipes and the paint colors, and a caption only holds so much. So now it all lives here.

What you'll find here

• Recipes with scaling, metric conversion, timers and a cook mode that keeps your screen awake
• Projects with real costs, every material, and what I'd do differently
• A journal for everything in between

Most of our house is still a little unfinished. I've made my peace with that.
