It's Finally Happening: I love Erin's take on life in the Twin Cities, and she has great recipes too!

Eggs on Sunday: Tasty, healthy recipes that I love!

Good Things Catered: My favorite source for entertaining and menu ideas! I also enjoy her recipes with Lebanese influences.

Amber's Delectable Delights: The name says it all! She has a lot of great baking recipes.

Taste and Tell: I have a ton of Deborah's recipes on my to-make list!

Blogging With a Purpose- My First Award!

Thanks to Court Cooks at Prescription for Good Food for giving me my first blogging award-- I am honored! Not only does she have great-looking food, but she's also a pharmacist-- I love the pharmacists, I am married to one!

I am nominating the following five blogs for this award:

1. Erin at Dinner and Dessert for encouraging me through my yeast bread fiascos and inspiring me to order The Bread Baker's Apprentice. I hope my breads turn out like hers someday!
   
   
2. Brooke at ... and a cookie for dessert
   I love her recipes, most recently the shrimp lasagna rolls. I have starred her Mexican Sour Cream Rice to make soon!
   
   
3. Gaga in the kitchen
   For her wonderful recipes, many with an Asian focus.
   
   
4. Ally at Culinary Infatuation
   Great recipes and easy to follow instructions! I used her Salisbury Steak recipe last week and it was delicious.
   
   
5. Melissa at It's Melissa's Kitchen
   She has really good ideas (Fish Taco Friday, hello!), recipes and photos. I can't wait to make her challah recipe once I've figured out this baking-with-yeast thing!
