I'd like to thank the Academy...

I recently received an award from a fellow blogger, Andrea The Kitchen Witch... check it out here!


This is what I love about food blogging... I've never even met Andrea but on any given day, I know that if I made one of her creative and mouth-watering recipes, my tummy would be pleased. So to be recognized by her is truly an honor, thanks Andrea!

Now it's my turn to pass on the award. I read too many blogs that span too many categories, so I'm going to try and narrow this down to my top 5 favorite food blogs:

ANDREA THE KITCHEN WITCH
Well, I've already told you how I feel about her blog. Did I mention she includes Nutritional Facts for each recipe? Awesome.

PREGNANT
Ashleigh is constantly posting exciting new recipes. This might change soon because she's about to have a baby (wonderful news for her, not wonderful news for my recipe obsession). I relate to Ash, and I feel like I know her well enough to call her "Ash" apparently (we've never met). Her mission is to find a "signature dish for baby and man" - also something I relate to. Check out her blog for good food and good humor.

SWEET LIFE
Beautiful blog. I don't know what else to say about it, beautiful food, ideas, photographs. It makes me smile.

ROOTS AND ZEST
I'm a sucker for food blogs written by mothers, and R&Z is one of the best. Virginia often throws parenting into the mix of her well written blogs, cooks with her kids, indulges in great restaurants, and makes some good-looking food!

I AM CHASING THIRTY
A breath of fresh air. I broke my own rules a little because this is not solely a food blog, but when she does post recipes they're innovative, delicious and photographed beautifully. Katy was my roommate for years and I'm lucky to know her AND her food.

Okey dokey, thanks for listening, and for more on this award click here...
