Food Blogs I Follow

The title of this post may be misleading because there is really only one food blog I follow regularly, but there are others I visit occasionally to see what's new.  It's kind of ridiculous how many food blogs there are out there, and it seems like every time I find one I like, they stop posting.  But here's a list of some of my favorites.

Mel's Kitchen Cafe - The obvious choice. I don't actually make that many of her new recipes (although I did make the double chocolate oatmeal cookies, which were delish), but if you are searching for a good classic recipe, she's a go to.  I have made a few things from there that I didn't love, but chance are good, whatever you make will turn out well. We've been making these granola bites quite a bit lately. Lauren once ate eight in one sitting (or standing). Plus, Mel very rarely has spelling or grammar errors, which is a big turnoff for me.

Pennies and Pancakes - If you are poor, this site is for you. She is not posting any longer, but it's worth perusing the archives for cheap and tasty meals, especially breads. I really like her recipe for hamburger buns, and I have been making her Best Wheat Bread (to use up some hard red wheat) and Grandma's Country White Bread (not actually white, but with white whole wheat flour) lately, and they are both very good. The Grandma's recipe might become my new everyday bread because it holds together much better and I can make thinner slices. Oh, and her refried beans are easier and cheaper than Mel's.

Super Healthy Kids - I occasionally go here to see if there are any new recipes that interest me. They focus a lot on veggies and being well rounded and healthy. My one complaint is that their website is not very easy to navigate.

100 Days of Real Food - Same as above. I only go for the recipes and try to ignore all the organic/natural hype. I like this kale salad and the pumpkin spelt muffins. It's been a while since I found a new recipes from there.


Other sites I have made recipes from, but don't really follow includes Real Food, Real Deals, Two Peas and Their Pod, Budget Bytes, and Tasty Kitchen.


Tell me - what other blogs do you follow or sometimes read?  Not that I need to spend more time online, but sometimes I need some new inspiration.
