Hello SITStah’s!

Are you ready to learn how to take very simple ingredients and turn them into an amazing recipe? Today’s featured blogger Brooklyn Locavore does just that!

Hi, I’m Melissa. Originally from Jersey, with a few years layover in Philly, I now call Brooklyn home along with my husband and pet turtle. My life revolves around food—where it came from, who grew/made it, and how I can further elevate simple ingredients into outstanding dishes. By day I’m a marketing professional, by night I’m a food blogger, recipe developer and advocate of the local food movement. Join me in my adventure of eating, cooking and living local!

    Excited to check out your site–I need some inspiration in the kitchen (I have the tendency to make the same dishes OVER AND OVER). Off to check you out now (PS: Former NY girl now living FT in Jersey. WHOOP!)

    Hi Melissa, I’m a Philly native & enjoy passing through Brooklyn to visit hubby’s family in Queens. I enjoy a good food blog so I’ll surely be stopping by. Enjoy all the love you receive on your SITS day!

    I disappeared again but I’m back from birthday celebrations and house guests and some more fun described in my latest post. So happy to meet a food enthusiast on my return! And a marketer by day, food blogger by night – maybe we are related???

      Thanks so much for the kind words, Emily! I kind of regret the strawberry shortcake one. Everyone keeps raving and all I can think is no more local strawberries til next spring!

      Yay Philly! Thanks for checking out my blog. I went to La Salle and lived in South Philly for a couple of years before heading to Brooklyn. Would LOVE to move back but it’s “too small” for my husband. I keep showing him the cute row houses that cost less than the 1-2 bedroom places we’re looking to buy to convince him Philly’s better.

    This sounds like the blog for me. I want to start a new challenge where I attempt to make more simple meals using fresh ingredients. Can’t wait to read more. Have a great SITS Day.

    Sounds like the blog for me! I’m not much of a cook, so the simpler the better. Recipes with unusual ingredients that aren’t already in my pantry tend to scare me away! Happy SITS day!

      Thanks Heather! I try to keep things simple, mostly because I don’t want to have to deal with a thousand ingredients, but also because I like the flavors to stay pure. I do sometimes use a crazy ingredient (like foraged mulberries) because they intrigue me, but all in the name of staying local!
