Savory Flavors: April 2012
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. Whoever told me getting married was easy, was clearly incorrect, or had a wedding planner. I have been swamped with both a new job at work and with planning our upcoming wedding (6 weeks away! Unfortunately, I have not even had a chance to blog about anything that I have been up to, including trying out all of the new kitchen toys I received at my shower! As a thank you for my testing, OXO has given me an additional set of locking containe...

Savory Flavors: November 2011
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. I have always been curious about edible flowers. I've seen them, heard of them, but have never eaten them, until now. A few weeks ago, at my local farmer's market, I came across lavender buds, and knew that I had to have them. Lavender is typically used in fragrances, candles, and cleaning products. I would guess that most people are unaware that it is actually edible! Adapted from Joy the Baker. 1 tablespoon dried lavender blossoms. In a ...

Savory Flavors: September 2011
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. Between weekend travels, house decorating, and loads of work, I somehow tried to squeeze in some last of summer pickling. I happen to have a special place in my heart for dill pickles. They were a constant in my home growing up as my brother LOVED pickles as much as a dog loves bones. So, by default, I had them a lot too. That's my type of canning! Dill Pickles from Put 'Em Up. 2 c of ice cubes. 4 c distilled white vinegar. 2 Combine the v...

Savory Flavors: March 2012
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. Recently, I have started to try to make a few recipes that are a little on the challenging side for me- homemade marshmallows, vegetarian meals as I have given meat up for Lent, and this recipe for bagels. When I started to see a lot of fellow bloggers in the blogosphere attempt bagels successfully, I decided that it was time to get over my fear. Either way, these bagels turned out fantastically! From King Arthur Flour. 1 3/4 teaspoons salt.

Savory Flavors: Roasted Red Peppers
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2013/01/roasted-red-peppers.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. These chilly days and nights in New England have certainly put stop to my desire to venture outside as much as I had done in the warmer weather. Bundling up in layers and boots and hats and scarves may sound romantic in the summer months, but when you're in the thick of snowstorms and single digit weather, I promise that it is not even romantic in the least bit. Inspired by My Berlin Kitchen. Recipe adapted from The Wednesday Chef. Preheat...

Savory Flavors: January 2012
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. I never thought I would be one of those crazy dog owners that talk to their dog, take the dog everywhere, and make the dog a birthday cake. Then again, I never liked to cook before either. The recipe is super simple to throw together, and is almost a twist on a cheddar apple biscuit, sans the cream cheese frosting. Gorgi LOVED the pupcakes, and I loved to watch him eat them! Unfortunately, he devoured them too quickly for my camera to catch.

An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. Back at It- Finally! Thankfully, I was still cooking and using all of my lovely shower and wedding gifts during my long absence, which means that my skills have not diminished, but rather, improved. I'm super excited to be back at sharing my meals with a bigger community! Without further ado, here are a few things that I've done in the past 6 months. The first of many, many batches of Christmas cookies. Friday, January 04, 2013. Tuesday, J...

Savory Flavors: February Foodie PenPal Reveal!
http://savoryflavors.blogspot.com/2012/02/february-foodie-penpal-reveal.html
An urbanite trades in takeout for home-cooked meals and desserts. February Foodie PenPal Reveal! During early February, I stumbled across a blog post from a fellow blogger that detailed a foodie penpal group, and gifts she had received from her penpal. Also in the blog post was a link to the organizer of the event, and the opportunity to participate. As soon as I saw that I could join, I jumped for joy! I love a surprise package in the mail, and if I can send one to someone else, even better! Bulgur and ...
