Last night I went on a recipe cutting binge. It all started with a picture of mustard turkey burgers on the cover of Whole Living Magazine. From there I clipped out recipes for whole-grain waffles with sliced strawberries and yogurt… and then sautéed chicken with spinach, garlic, and pine nuts. As my grocery list got a little bit longer, and my mouth watered I got excited about these new recipes… all of which I intend to make in the next week.
Today as I am still salivating I came across this post from WordPress about 7 Food Blogs to follow this summer. Although you will never find recipes on my site b/c I am not a food blogger, I DO love to eat, and when I am in the mood, cook! Evidently I am in the mood.
So as we roll in to Memorial Day weekend I am sharing the wealth (and calories) with all my lucky readers. I know many of you love to cook and are savvy in the kitchen, so enjoy perusing these food blogs.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Let me know if you come across any delish recipes. And please share!
Grillin’ and chillin’ this weekend,
The Banter Lady
NOM NOM NOM! YUM!
… are there TOP 7 TRAVEL BLOGGERS to follow this summer too? 🙂 …

Waw very interesting. Be able to really feel the new atmosphere, let alone see homemade meals with various menus, can definitely make hearts melt in running activities this summer.
Fabulous. Thank you for sharing.
I hate cooking but I do love eating tasty food, which doesn’t always match its appearance. And you’re making me hungry.
The photos of food are making me hungry, I mean.

Well, I just got through eating and looked at this page and decided it was in my best interest to Post and Run or I will be eating again. Everything looked so good and appetizing and no more room for any of it LOL. Not even the Pic of Ice Cream at the top. I deal mainly with dining sites but this is something just for me to try at home and I will be back to see some more of the recipes that you post. Thanks for the temptations.
Wow, these references were very great..:) thanks for sharing.
