Hi! I'm Sam, the baker, blogger, photographer, and writer behind Savor The Spoonful. First of all, thank you for being here!
I've lived in Ohio my whole life, and have always loved four things: horses, Jesus, baking, and photography. I got my first DSLR camera when I was 13, and since then I've been developing my photography skills and have turned my passion into a real business.
I'm currently in college studying Visual Communications with a minor in Marketing. My education helps me in many ways with running my photography business and food blog, and I love sharing all of my knowledge with people in my one-on-one coaching sessions.
I have fond memories of baking in the kitchen with my grandma all throughout my childhood. Those times were filled with box-mix muffins and full-fat cookies, but in high school, I became interested in nutrition and creating food that properly nourished my body. That's where Savor The Spoonful comes in...
Why "Savor The Spoonful"?
I named my blog Savor The Spoonful because I truly believe you should savor every spoonful of your treats! Box-mixed, full-fat or not, there should never be "guilt" with eating. There are no good or bad ingredients. No good or bad foods. Some foods nourish our bodies, while others cater more to our souls!
Diet culture has no place here. This is a safe space where you can find recipes crafted with gentle nutrition in mind, but never any diet talk. "Guilt" is not an ingredient here!
What You'll Find Here
Savor The Spoonful is all about sharing vegan and gluten-free breakfast and dessert recipes that are designed to nourish your body and your soul. I bake with nutrient-dense ingredients that fuel your body while satisfying your tastebuds at the same time!
If you're here as a fellow food photographer or food blogger, I have plenty of resources for you too.
Community
My favorite part of all this is you. You are the reason I am able to join my deep passion for photography with my lifelong love of baking. Savor The Spoonful is a dream, and what really makes me happy is the community I'm able to share it with. Seriously, I am so glad you're here.
I love connecting with you, no matter who you are or how you stumbled across my blog. Please feel more than welcome to contact me anytime, about anything! I truly would love to hear from you. You can also follow me on Instagram and join my email list to stay up to date with all the latest recipes and food photography resources.
