The Adventures of Kitchen Girl

New food blogs come along all the time.  Most of these won’t stand the test of time.  There simply isn’t any passion in them.  A food blog without a real passion for food (and a blogger who cares nothing for rejection) simply won’t last.  Then there are those that shine, and The Adventures of Kitchen Girl is one of those.

Jo, the writer of Kitchen Girl most definitely has the passion that a food blogger needs to keep the posts and new ideas coming.  Her blog is loaded with simple, soul satisfying recipes that won’t break the bank or cause palpitations while reading the recipe.  No 34 step ultra-complicated  or overworked meals here.  You’re just going to get good solid recipes that you and your family and friends will love.

I really could go on.  Jo herself is a very sweet person whom I have the privilege of calling one of my friends and her writing will make you feel like you are sitting in the room with one of your friends as well.  I’d wager that if you drop by and leave a few comments, you might just make a new friend yourself.

If you haven’t already, add The Adventures of kitchen Girl to your favorite reader and prepare to be pleasantly surprised.  This is most definitely a blog to watch.

If you’ve walked by a magazine rack lately you’ve probably noticed that the number of food magazines available out there is increasing exponentially.  There are magazines for vegetarian cooking, gluten free cooking, home cooking and full-blown gourmet food jobs.  Add to that the list of magazines sporting the name of some food celebrity or another and you might just walk away shaking your head in confusion.

How do you know …

I love, love, LOVE Greek food.  I was introduced to Greek cuisine in Chicago, Illinois and I haven’t gone back since.  Aside from the eggplant, there’s nothing I don’t like about Greek cooking. Move along a few years and I have now had the experience of meeting many Greek people and people of Grecian descent. I can say honestly that of all that I have met, there has only been …

If you haven’t heard Sass & Veracity, Kelly Wright’s amazing Food Blog or her “personal site Kellementology, you’ve either been burid in the archives around here or perhaps you’ve been on a deserted island with no Internet connection.  Either way, it’s time you jumped over and checked both of these enlightening and rather witty blogs out for yourself.

Not only is Kelly one of the best writers in the food …

Let me just start off by saying happy St. Paddy’s Day to all of you who are observing it!

I’ll post My belated St. Paddy’s day meal on Monday, most likely.

It seems as though …
