♥ My fav Food Blogs ♥ Can You Stay For Dinner? I was tearful reading Andie’s story. Her blog’s beautifully done, her recipes: marvelous. But it’s her life that’s the most beautiful — at least, that’s what I came away thinking after reading some of her journal entries. ♥ Cook Like A Champion I like this blog’s way of presenting delicious foods that are common and “do-able!” It’s clean and neat. And they have a cute new baby. :o) ♥ Best Friends For Frosting I like this blog for many different reasons… you know how I love to bake and love to try new things… well, i just love to see the photos from this blog and spark my imagination with their ideas and creations. That, and the recipes are delicious. Like recipes from friends should be. :o) For Trim Healthy Mama Recipes ~ Links ~ Tips ~ Articles ~ Reviews TheWelcomeHome = THM = Trim Healthy Mama ♥ Just A Pinch ♥ The Old Hen Bed & Breakfast — UPDATE: The B&B closed, but you can still glean delicious & beautiful recipes here at The Old Hen! I love reading this blog… so many interesting stories and wonderful recipes for all occasions! I guess what I like most about this site is that the recipes are very, very similar to many things we make or have made in our family… so the foods are “common to us” and that’s really what makes a site a favourite to me. It’s like having friends who like us and the same tuff we like… and we don’t have to continually make excuses for what we make or why we do what we do. It’s all understood. :o) ♥ ♥ ♥ America’s Test Kitchen You will be so thankful you have this marvelous site at your fingertips.
