Who is Mighty

My name is Sarah Francis. I live with my charming and tech-savvy husband, Trevor Francis, on the 35th floor of a high rise in downtown Miami. We share our humble abode with two crazy English Bulldogs, Bentley & Gorgeous George. They are the life of the party in our home and take advantage of us at every possible chance.

I am recently certified as a Sommelier, that is an “I know more about wine than YOU certificate” and have passed the intro-sommelier certification through the U.S. Court of Sommeliers, watch out world.

I grew up in Oklahoma City with four siblings and was taught from a young age to speak up or forever hold your peace. I watched my mother bake a cake, brownies, or cookies most every night of my life, I thought all families were so lucky. I also learned a love for wine, our religion was to anoint with olive oil and drink a glass of red wine to heal sickness. I realize this sounds like we were Italians or alcoholics maybe, but in fact we were Church of the First Born, and the interesting facts of that religion stop with the wine. The important part is I learned to love the intoxicating burn of heavy red wine down the back of the throat and the feeling of expensive wine hitting the belly. Over the years I have developed somewhat of a snobbery to the mass produced juice on shelves and spend a lot of time researching the market for the best quality and value.

My husband and I moved to Miami not long after getting married in Napa Valley on the majestic Howell Mountain, and thank our lucky stars we reside here in South Florida every day. We have spent most of our newlywed days eating in fine restaurants and critiquing the food, service, and ambiance of each location. It is only recently that my dear Trevor sat me down and sweetly demanded I take my obsession with food into our own kitchen. In other words be the Suzy Homemaker I know you can be Ms. Francis.

The cooking and recipes are always a gamble and I am pretty fearless in the way of trying new items and techniques, so please when following my advice, due so with caution.

BTW- This picture is me in Boquete, Panama at breakfast....gorgeous place!
