Looking Out The Window: Sara Foust Talks About Her New Book, Rarity Mountain




A Warm Welcome to Sara Foust

Sara shares one of her recipes for making the most out of leftovers and talks about one of her favorite Bible verses.

I love good food and I have a lot of favorite recipes, so it was hard to pick just one. I also really like experimenting with seasonings and leftovers and creating with what I have on hand. I cook a lot by smell rather than by measurement (weird, I know). Here is one I made up because I had leftover mashed potatoes and didn’t want to throw them away.

Left Over Mashed Potato Cakes

1 ½ cups mashed potatoes (I used unpeeled, red potatoes to make my mashed potatoes)
2 eggs
¼ cup bread crumbs
½ cup chopped fresh spinach
1 tbls chopped green onion
Dash All Season Salt
Dash pepper
2 tbls sour cream
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Form into palm-sized patties and fry in oil.

Makes approx. 7-8 patties

Oh yum! Thank you!

A Bible Verse From Psalms

My favorite Bible verse tends to change with time and life’s circumstances, but one that has always been near and dear to my heart is Psalm 147:3-4, “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I love that God knows what I need whenever I am hurting, and I am humbled by the fact that He knows the name of each and every star, yet He takes the time to know me too. It is a comfort that God is present in my life each moment.



About Rarity Mountain

On the surface, SIMON FINCUFF and FERN STRONGBOW have nothing in common. Simon has served his sentence, but his past conviction still haunts him. Fern is a veterinarian and grew up on an off-the-grid homestead. The one thing they share? Each has a dark secret they would do almost anything to protect.

When their current careers are yanked away, they are left scrambling to pick up the pieces. A reality television show falls into their paths, offering a life-changing opportunity that tests their resolve and their faith.

These two unlikely partners must battle to survive for thirty days in the untouched wilderness of Rarity Mountain with only a handful of survival items and a director who is out for drama, no matter the cost. With their lives and their carefully guarded skeletons on the line, they will discover how far they are willing to go to win the million-dollar prize for Survival Tennessee.

OH, love the spinach addition to the pancakes. Yum. I have your book on my list! Best wishes.
Hi Sara: Your book has an intriguing storyline. I'm sure it will draw readers. Recipes? I got permission years ago to use Betty Crocker's Whole Wheat Bread recipe on my blog. I revised it slightly. My cooking is limited to Whole Wheat bread, French toast and Tapioca pudding. My hat is off to you on your cooking.

Thank you , Lisa and Larry!
It's nice to meet you, Sara. I, too, have home schooled my children, and now they're all grown. I felt it gave them confidence in themselves. I really love your photo. You look so relaxed and happy. The description of your book sounds quite intriguing. Congratulations!
