THINGS THAT ARE AWESOME – THE FOOD BLOG EDITION
1. The Pioneer Woman Cooks! The Pioneer Woman moved from Los Angeles to ‘the middle of nowhere’ and married a guy she calls the Marlboro Man. I particularly like food blogs with step-by-step pictures, and hers are fabulous. She makes recipes that actually seem attainable – food I would actually make. I am using her turkey recipe this year for Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait.
2. Smitten Kitchen. I like Smitten Kitchen because most of the recipes are things I would never have tried on my own. They are just a little fancier than I generally consider myself capable of. But I’ve made a couple of things from this site (the Black-Bottom Cupcakes and the Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies), and both were easy and delicious.
3. Serious Eats. Serious Eats is great because it is about all kinds of food-related things – recipes, food news, chef interviews, etc. It’s also where I saw this, so it’s pretty awesome.
4. Chocolate and Zucchini. Chocolate and Zucchini is pretty much food porn. I read it because it is full of recipes I would never attempt to make. Half the time I don’t even know what the words she uses even mean. But the pictures look delicious.
5. Cook & Eat. Pretty, pretty pictures.

The cake for Suzanne was apparently made in Little Rock. We’re so proud.
those turkey pictures are kind of gross. good thing i’m not cooking the turkey this year, or maybe never. though one day i would like to get over my fear of raw giant fowl.
So how do you come across all these awesome blogs? Im trying a recipe or two from the Pioneer Women – funny and takes step by step photos!
