One of the best (?) parts of being a food blogger is keeping tabs on millions of other food bloggers. This means that I’m exposed to unending stream of tempting recipes. Some of the gems that have become a part of our regular rotation are listed below. These are meals/sides that most of the family is happy with most of the time. Thank you fellow bloggers.
Ponyo Noodles from Cook Play Explore. Rent the movie. Run out and find some lidded soup bowls the next day. Make some of the funnest and easiest noodles around.
Simple Seasame Noodles from Pioneer Woman. When I am completely unmotivated to cook and the refrigerator is bare, The Pioneer Woman comes to the rescue.
Roasted Broccoli with Lime from seaweed snacks. A small part of me is excited for the onset of winter each year so that the unending stream of roasted vegetables can begin.
Dilled, crunch sweet-corn salad with buttermilk dressing from Food 52. I don’t think Food 52 is really a blog, but I’m including it anyway. This salad is unbelievable.
Broccoli Slaw from Cook Play Explore. Quick, crunchy, and delicious.
Kale and Pear Smoothie from Joy the Baker. Yum!
Apple Caramel Pie from Pioneer Woman. My husband insists upon this pie at Thanksgiving.
Curried Lentil Soup from Molly Wizenburg at Bon Appetite. Lentils used to be the kind of food I really want to be crazy about but I just couldn’t truly embrace them. This recipe, however, makes me love them.
Chipotle Roasted Vegetable Salad from Perry’s Plate. This is a picture of my salad. I put all the fixings in bowls on the table the and the kids make their own “salads” and everyone’s happy.
Tuna Melts from The Pioneer Woman. I normally turn my nose up at gooey mushy tuna melts. But this version is loaded with crunchy veggies which keep the tuna and its mushy nature at bay. They’re perfect.
And last but certainly not least, Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies from Baking Bites.
First there was the best of 2009. Then the best of 2010. Here are some of our favorites from the past year.
Wheat Thins
Salted Chocolate Almonds
S’more Bites

I just spent 17 hours combing the interweb for healthy Halloween snacks. Along with the usual fatigue in my posterior, I think I’m going to lose it if I see another Halloween cupcake, cake pop, cookie pop, cake topped with gummy worms, or mummy dog. All that stuff is great (especially if you’re five years old). But I would like to tip my hat to the brave and creative souls that actually came up with ideas for Halloween snacks that contain something resembling food. My kids will have enough sugary goodness after the sun goes down.
A few of these aren’t necessarily specific to Halloween. But I see some potential there nonetheless. Please fill us all in on any of your brilliant ideas in the comments below. Thanks!
