Recipe Wednesday: Top 5 Favorite Food Bloggers -

I’m obsessed with food bloggers. Everything from the amazing recipes, to the incredible pictures, and feeling like I truly know some of these people through their cooking and writing, I think food blogging is awesome and I want to eat everything I see, all of the time.

There are a few food bloggers in particular I make sure to look at weekly, if not daily. I thought I’d take this Recipe Wednesday to share them with you, showing you where I get some of my inspiration from, and introducing you to some great bloggers you may not know about!

First, I love love love Jessica Merchant of How Sweet Eats– I want to be besties with her. I’ve been following her since college, and in addition to making a ton of her recipes from her website, I’ve added her super cute cookbook, Seriously Delish, to my collection. Her recipes are easy to follow, and you can tweak them quite easily as well. She’s my #1 favorite food blogger, and I love how her posts incorporate her family, favorites, and even beauty products every once in a while too! This freezing weather in D.C. is perfect to make her Creamy Roasted Garlic Potato Soup.

My next favorite, Oh, Sweet Basil, created by Cade & Carrian, a husband and wife dynamic duo, also makes super functional recipes perfect for weekday cooking. The Easy Sausage Alfredo Pasta is on my list to make in the near future. The desserts featured on Oh, Sweet Basil, are incredible looking, take these Blood Orange Cream Puffs for example. Oh, Sweet Basil also incorporates fitness lifestyle posts, which are great additions to their hearty, but healthy, recipes.

Third on my list is Love and Lemons, written by Jeanine Donofrio. Now, I’ll be honest, I’ve only made a few of her creations, but her pictures are incredible. She features healthy and wholesome recipes that thrive on fresh in season ingredients. For example, this Winter Farro & Kale Salad. I also love her drink recipes, like this Sparkling Paloma cocktail.

I find the best dessert recipes from my next favorite, Brown Eyed Baker. Michelle focuses on comfort food to the max, perfect for parties. I mean seriously, these Mocha Cupcakes with Espresso Buttercream Frosting are to die for, they’re currently on my cupcake list. Yes, I have a cupcake list. Aside from her over the top amazing desserts though, Brown Eyed Baker has some seriously practical weeknight dinner ideas like these Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs.

My last favorite is another husband and wife duo, Two Peas and Their Pod. Maria & Josh cover all types of recipes, I love going through their easy recipe index to find some new ideas. This 5-Ingredient Spinach Parmesan Zucchini Noodle recipe is a quick and healthy dinner for a busy teacher like myself. I also love how easily I can access their Weekly Meal Plans, endless ideas with tons of variety.
