My Favorite Cooking & Baking Blogs

Speaking of cooking, I subscribe to a growing number of cooking and baking blogs.  Over the years, I've come to rely on some of them for their wonderful recipes and I want to share them with you (but only if you promise to leave me the names of your favorite food blogs!)

• Simply Recipes -- Elise's recipes are wonderful and have never failed me.  She rarely calls for exotic ingredients and I have learned to look in her archives for a recipe before searching throughout the internets. Why she doesn't have a cookbook out yet, I do not know.
• The Pioneer Woman Cooks -- I was drawn in by the beautiful photography depicting ranching life on her main blog, but was quickly sucked into her cooking site.  Her photography of each step in a recipe is fabulous and her commentary is always witty.  And get this, she has a cookbook coming out in October called The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl.
• Bitten -- Mark Bittman's website.  But haven't I already raved enough about him?
• David Lebovitz -- His blog, subtitled "living the sweet life in Paris", is always a good read.  Not only are you guaranteed to learn something, but also come away craving some of his wonderful creations.  I have and love his book Perfect Scoop and I'm dying to get my hands on his new book -- The Sweet Life in Paris.

Other food sites of note:

• Joy the Baker
• Smitten Kitchen
• Baker's Banter

I'm sure I'm missing many good foodie blogs, so please let me know which are your favorites!

I really don't cook much anymore. I stopped when my girls were in college/HS. No matter what I cooked, one wouldn't eat it if it had meat, the other would complain if it wasn't beef & my partner would put whatever it was on bread with cheddar cheese. Now I rarely cook other than old family recipes when I get a taste for them. Other than that, my partner cooks (he is terrible), we eat frozen things or eat out. But I do love to look at the Pioneer Woman blog - can't even remember how I discovered her but her photography sucked me in (that is my other main hobby besides yarn stuff.)

I like Homesick Texan too. Her photos are amazing and I love some texmex.
