The Best of the Best in Food Blogs

We are not Martha

Obviously I’m including my own blog in here. Because, duh, it’s the best cooking blog of them all. We were sick of people hating on Martha Stewart all the time, so it’s our mission to show people how awesome her food is and how it’s not all that hard to make. And how everyone can be a little Martha Stewart.

We are not Martha, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to try!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is one of my favorite cooking blogs beacuse Ree, the Pioneer Woman, is just awesome. She lives on a farm/ranch and cooks amazingly bad for you food that she takes the prettiest photos of.

She’s hilarious, has a beautiful family, and her blog must get at least 15,000 hits a day. Oh, to be Ree.

Bakerella

Bakerella makes the cutest baked good ever. Plus she was on the Martha Stewart show, which makes her a hero in my book. She made those adorable little cupcake lollypops as seen above. If I could do half the stuff bakerella does, I would be a happy blogger.

Closet Cooking

I have no idea where Closet Cooking’s Kevin came from. I don’t even remember where I found him. I just know that I am obsessed with his blog. And we’d probably be married by now if he didn’t live in Canada. He’s so nonchalant about the whole cooking thing, claiming he was bored with his food so he decided to start cooking everyday. And um, cook did he.

His food always looks amazing and I’ve made TONS of stuff from his website. So obsessed!

Smitten Kitchen

Smitten Kitchen is another obsession of mine. And Deb, its blogger, is another past guest on the Martha Stewart Show (when I was in the audience!). Most of her recipes make me say, “omg, I want to make that!!” Plus, her photography is beautiful and I am in love with the name of her blog. SO adorable!

The Recipe Girl

The Recipe Girl is one of my new favorite food blogs. And it became even more favorite after I saw today’s post (and the below picture). She does super creative, fun things that aren’t overly difficult. Lots of great stuff for whatever holiday you happen to be celebrating. Love her!

Whipped

Whipped is another one of those blogs where the photography just makes you drool. I don’t even care what’s in the picture. It could be chopped liver and Chicago’s Caroline would make it look like the most appetizing thing in the world. Whipped is definitely one of my favorite cooking resources!

Simply Recipes

Apparently, I’m the last person on Earth to hear of Simply Recipes. Well, that’s not entirely true. I had heard of it before, but I kind of just ignored it because I think the name is kind of boring. Well, that will teach me to judge a blog by its name because Elise’s cooking blog is out of this world. In fact, in 2006, Simply Recipes was listed in Time magazine as one of the 50 coolest websites.

Simply Recipes has a few contributors and tons and tons of awesome recipes. Definitely an ideal resource that I’ll be visiting lots from now on.

Food Blogga

So yeah, I’m from Boston. Obviously I would love a blog called “Food Blogga.” But I don’t just love it because of it’s name (the blogger is from RI anyway, and not Boston!). I love it for reasons like the one above. Pumpkin pie pudding. That equals love right there. But she has tons of recipes that make my tummy rumble. Like mac and cheese that is actually made with orange cauliflower but allegedly tastes like Dorritos. What? Ok. I’ll try it.

Kalyn's Kitchen

Kalyn’s kitchen is a blog full of recipes all based on the South Beach Diet. Which I am not on. But you know what? I love it anyway! And who can’t use a few recipes with a low glycemic index (what? I do know what that is)? Plus, I met Kalyn at BlogHer Boston and she was absolutely awesome. And a super smart food blogger who is retiring this year to blog full time. Lucky lady!
