Inspiration

I have been posting a lot of news items as of late, and while they are fun in their own sort of way, I realized that one of my favorite times of day is when I scroll through my RSS feed of food blogs for updates. My favorite are the posts riddled with food porn that makes me want to run home and try out a recipe, ok tinker with said recipe and see how it turns out.

Food blogs (non-discriminating against the gluten kind)

La Tartine Gourmande - this straddles the line because many of her recipes are gluten free, she even has a gluten free section! She has also been one of the rare few who has been able to not turn her amazing food blog into a mommy blog post delivery.

Smitten Kitchen - its just great all around, really approachable

Simple Recipes - the name says it all, they just happen to do it with great photography as well

The Pioneer Woman - there is a reason so many people like her! She breaks down the recipes into small steps and photographs each one of them, it rules.

David Lebovitz - yes, the man knows his ice cream, but his posts are also fun and sometimes savory

Bitten - I cannot hate him forever for not including Indian Pudding in his big book

$5 Dinners - for a while, one of her kids had to eat gluten free, so there are a ton of cheap recipe ideas

Nose To Tail At Home - Game, offal, weird cuts and using the whole beast cooking

Hunter, Angler, Gardener, Cook - yeah, it rules
