Favorite Blogs

I recently posted about how I enjoy reading blogs, so I thought I should share some of the ones I read regularly:


Budget Bytes

• Food costs really vary by region, but I like the variety of recipes the blogger creates.
• Favorite recipe? Chana Aloo Masala (Chickpea and Potato Masala)
• I also like the tips Beth provides about cooking affordably. See "How to Freeze Leftovers," "How to Kick the Can (Of Beans)," and "Pantry Staples."

The Full Helping

• I do not fully subscribe to a vegan diet or the ethics behind it, but I enjoy the creativity in Gena Hamshaw's recipes.
• Favorite recipes? Golden Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry, Mustardy Lemon and Sweet Potato Salad, and Pumpkin Chocolate Pudding
• I skim this blog weekly, especially the "Weekend Reading," as Hamshaw provides links to a variety of issues on healthy living, often highlighting articles that don't make it into the usual press.

The Oatmeal Artist

• I like oatmeal. Can you tell? Lauren Smith provides a great variety of oatmeal recipes, plus weekly roundups of more oatmeal goodies.
• Favorite recipes? Carrot ginger and sweet potato fudge oatmeals
• Plus, the beautiful photos on this blog inspire me to add nut butter to my porridge more often. It makes a great addition!

A Reasonable Adventurer

• My dear friend's beautifully written blog about life
• Favorite posts? "An Open Letter to the Hurting Tribe" and "What I Wish I Knew When I Was 27"
• She has a Facebook page, too!

Tumbleweeds in the Wind

• My cousin's blog about sewing and such
• She makes lots of her own clothes!
• She also has a cool Etsy shop!
