Back To Blogging!

Well I'm finally back to blogging! My 2 week break from blogging turned into nearly a month, whoops! But it has been an awesome break from the norm. Here are some things that we've done:

Right after finals Luke and I jetted off to Florida. We spent the first three days in Orlando and visited Disney world and relaxed at the hotel. We went to Epcot and had a wonderful day! Apparently May is the time to go if you want to avoid the crowds, lucky us!

We sampled all kinds of food from around world at the International Showcase. 

Fish and Chips from England were Luke's favorite.

Napoleon from the French bakery- now on my list of recipes to try!

Next we ventured to Ormond beach where we spent the following week. 

We:

     Played on the beach

     Went to St. Augustine 

     Went sea kayaking

     Went on lots of long beach walks

     Watched the sunrise

     And played at the beach some more

So that was our Florida trip! After that we spent time unpacking and cleaning, Luke went to a wedding in Canada while my friend Brianna visited me in the Lou. 

We celebrated our one year anniversary this past week (wahoo!). Luke planned a lovely date complete with roses, dinner (The Wildflower) and a movie (Snow White and The Huntsman), all of which I highly recommend. Sorry no pictures, I forgot the camera :( 

We did have our one year old wedding cake- which was not so good tasting (or looking!). 

 Since Luke and I really only had the last two weeks of summer off together we have been trying to make the most of it. We've gone floating on the Current River, went hiking, and had a picnic at a nearby park (Abby loved chasing all the ducks there!).  

(Wearing the shirt I got him for our anniversary!)

Well, that's all for now! I'll get back to cooking ASAP! Happy, happy summertime everyone!! 

The Hunger Games Inspired Menu

Who's excited for The Hunger Games movie?! We are!
So in preparation we decided we wanted to cook a Hunger Games premier feast! It is during our spring break so we have lots of time for prepping and cooking. We brainstormed and came up with these ideas:


App:

• "Peeta" chips with hummus

Main Menu:

• Cornish "game" hens

• Prim's goat cheese mashed potatoes

• Haymitch's boozy glazed carrots

Zert:

• "Poison" berry pie  

Drink:

• "The Girl On Fire" Marg

So that's what we are planning. It may change by the time March 23rd rolls around though. I hope this has inspired some of you to have a premier party of your own. I would love to hear your ideas! 


I have high hopes for the movie and I hope it doesn't disappoint! The trailers have been really promising.

Happy Hunger Games! 

And... 

Welcome to Walker Whims

I love alliteration, don't you?
This is a blog that chronicles my life, but it will mostly end up being a blog about my cooking adventures. I have recently discovered that I have a passion for cooking and I love using it as a way to serve my friends and family. 
So I guess I'll start by introducing myself and my family.
Well I'm Sarah, a wife, pharmacy student, Christ-follower, cooking fiend.
Next is my wonderful, handsome, smart, funny husband Luke, who's also in pharmacy school with me. That's where we met. He loves being the guinea pig for new recipes and helps me in the kitchen a lot too!  We are happily married newlyweds :)
Here's a picture:

He's cool.


And then there's our baby, Abigail Moose, our Miniature American Eskimo pup.

I love her. She's the sweetest!
Okay so that's us. Hope you enjoy the blog!
