Valli’s food is….

yum.

She does alot of Greek food and that is a cuisine that I love, but I don;t cook nearly enough. She has inspired me many times over.

She gave me this award:

And I am so very honored.

Blogging is an odd thing. I have to admit that I don’t have much of a life outside of my home..I work at home, I homeschool, I raise a bit of my own food. It may sound odd, but with the exception of 2 or 3 people, the majority of the people I consider friends are bloggers or I know exclusively on the internet.

When Marc got sick last summer not one person from our church (with the exception of a couple that we are close friends with) brought us a meal.  Yet friends from the internet sent emails, e cards, real money, and even ordered us pizza. How can that not be “real relationship”?

Anyway..ahem…

So now I want to give this to 5 bloggers. I could give it to so many more! SOme I chose and found that they had all ready gotten the award…so..seriously there could be hundreds listed here!

Courtney from Coco Cooks is an amazing blogger. She is helpful, kind, and always has something awesome on her blog.  You see links to her blog everywhere and yet I don;t think she thinks of herself as “an important blogger”.. well she is.I am sure that she must have this award somewhere but I did not see it.

Wendy from Momlady has been a person who emails me, and prays for me, and seems always know what to say to be encouraging. How do you put a price on that?

Inge of course.  Vanielje Kitchen is always a must see, as soon as I have enough coffee to remember how to spell it.

Bonita of Streams of Living Water is someone I usually visit from Kettle and Cup.. She has tons of ministry in her to the point that it just splashes out when you read her blog.  I enjoy it alot.

Kevin of Closet Cooking has a blog that never fails to make me drool. I have to seriously wipe the computer screen after a visit to his blog.  Always my last stop of the evening before turning off the computer.

I am adding two blogs  because…

how can you leave out a person who lists ALL yes ALL of your blogs, and encourages you like a cheerleader AND calls you on the phone? Marla is like that.  She is also a  very cool baker-ista…but she rarely blogs about it.

And Monica. Knitted me a shawl! Is always emailing, and is a great friend who lifts me up in prayer alot. She is a sporadic blogger so I don;t love her for her blog..but for her friendship.

Lemon Doughnuts…Yummy!

And another week is gone! As I said on Kettle and Cup this morning, life has eben hectic and I haven’t visited as many blogs as I would like. By the way there are a ton of coupon codes for coffee over there today.

I have realized something.  You know there are millions of food blogs but really there are only maybe a thousand that are posted on regularly.  If you notice that you see the same names on the blogsurfing saturday it is because I have gotten frustrated hitting blog oafter blog where the last post is older than my youngest child.

Help me out. If you come across something that you think would work for saturdays..email me the webage.

O..k…well, I am not going to lead to you any ONE post of Marie’s this week..I have snuffled and boo-hoo’d my way through three posts and you willhave to find your own..BUT her blog gets ever better, a combination of her own fabulous recipes and images and her heart -touching, thought-provoking words. Go spend A Year at Oak Cottage…or an hour.

Kristin does Mini Berry Clafoutis Muffins…and they are so delicious looking! I have some raspberries and blackberries I had earmarked for a tart..but…I am not so sure. Check out Sweet Pea Patisserie

You can see entries for the Putting up Event everywhere lately! On Coco Cooks there is some yummy looking pickled watermelon rind. Now, let me just say that this stuff is summer in a jar…If you haven’t canned before take a deep breath and try it. It is very satisfying.

Becke, at Columbus Foodie is my source..Yeah..the one that got me hooked on Penzey spices. Her fault. They are going t have to build me a rehab center…I will be sitting in a padded room offering people my colelctible Vaseline Glass in exchange for cinnamon… Anyway..she has a great looking recipe for Pappardelle with Red Wine and Meat Ragu.

Stephanie is Dispensing Happiness on her blog with a book review on Grilled Pizzas & Piadianas. Oh, the images. Yum.

The Tuedays with Dorie crowd did Peanut Butter Tortes this week.  They all looked good but I like this from Maple Sugar.

You know, I realized I have never posted the link for one of my favorites, Eat Local Challenge. There are ways to do it, no matter where  you live. I have recently discovered a growers only farmer’s market not too far away and plan on a visit soon. We are growing green beans, tomatoes, onions, okra, cucumber, peppers, melon, zucchini, yellow squash, patty pan squash, beets, spinach, eggplant, two kinds of corn (red and white) ,chard…We have chickens which give eggs,a nd goats which give milk (and icecream, and cheese…).  I have a fifteen year old dedicated to the art of fishing.   Eating locally is a challenge if we try to eat the way we always have but not so much if we think it through.  End of soapbox…carry on…

Go ahead..play with your food.  Melonfish has an old post, but new to me, about fava beans. It is worth a peek.

Check out the chocolate mint bars that Em did on Repressed Pastry Chef. They look just like some Marc’s mom used to make..and I haven’t thought of them in years!

Wild Yeast has a most tempting fruit gallette.  You have to appreciate rustic food..O.k..I do.  I love the way that this gallette looks..you can almost smell the image.

O.k..I am off to do other things. I hope you have a blessed weekend! DOn’t forget about the What to Do with Leftover Eggs Roundup on the 21st. I have all ready gotten some fantastic entries for it!

I love this picture.

I won an award!

If you aren’t a blogger, or you haven’t been blogging long you may wonder at the excitement of being given a little picture to slap on your blog and have it called an award. It isn’t like you are going to get your picture in the paper or anything, right?

Yeah..but out of the thousands of you that read this blog everyday an average of 10 will comment, maybe. For all I know everyone else is just passing through on their way to Epicurious

So, getting the award is a way of recognizing someone for achievement, and the more you respect the person who gave it to you the cooler it is.

I am up at 4 a.m. this morning. I think I am at that point in my life where you stop sleeping really well? Anyway, I finally don;t have a baby waking me up in the wee hours and now I have hormones doing it. yay.

Blurry eyed, I make my way to the computer, noticing that the lights are on and the 14 year old who had a friend sleep over last night is still up with said friend… Sigh. He will be worthless later. I cheerily bid them good morning…(o.k..not really, I said, “Hey! You guys were supposed to go to bed! Why is the computer AND the T.V. on? And why are half the downstairs lights on?) and open up the browser to check here first.

What to my wondering eyes should appear but a notice telling me that Pixie has linked me to her blog! WOW. So I rush over to You Say Tomato I Say Tomato to find that she has not only linked to me she has mentioned my name TWICE. Yeah! Queen for a Day I tell ya.

So anyway she gave me, not just an award but an award for CREATIVITY! Woohoo! Many thanks Pixie, I will put this in my display case.

Here it is, the Arte y Pico award, used with permission of the creator, and Pixie of course.

So, now I choose 5 blogs that I think are consistent with Rule#1.

1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award-winning, has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4) Award-winning and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y pico“blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) To show these rules.

So…My picks are the following:

Chocolate and…

And what? There doesn’t need to be anything else, does there? Chocolate and air, chocolate and life, chocolate and…yeah. Lisa’s blog is one I have only just discovered in the past few days, but she has absolutely won me over with recipes for Butterfingers, chocolate croissants, and her Daring Bakers polka dot cheesecakes on a stick.

Sarah of Once Upon a Cookie absolutely bowled me over with her cheesecake pops. I think that out of all I saw hers were the most beautiful…and creative..don’t forget creative. She always has something amazing going on.

I used to do cakes, and once in awhile I still do the occasional wedding cake or birthday cake for a friend. So, when I say that someone does cakes worth looking at I promise they are worth looking at…Like..The Caking Hobbyist. I got there this morning to grab the url and saw the most awful cake I had seen. I thought, with my sleepy, non-caffeinated brain that I was at the wrong blog..so I refreshed the screen. And then my eyes cleared and I read the post…whew. Anyway, check out Doreen’s blog for some beautiful cakes, and some very scary ones.

Confessions of an Apron Queen is a new daily stop for me. Not always about food but always, always entertaining…if for no other reason that she has her blog plastered with retro images of women in aprons including a few old pin-ups that are wonderful…It is definitely a visual treat over there.

Another daily stop for me is right here at b5 Lifestyles. Jennifer and Peggy do a great job over at TreeHugging Family. It’s not easy being green but they have some incredible suggestions, and it is always a treat to read.

There…Five. Are there more I would award? Oh yes! But these five are my picks for today.

Now…hey, you came here to surf, right?

I am going to unabashedly promote my own post today. Some of you may not know that I also do a blog called Kettle and Cup about, what else? Coffee and tea. All week long I have been doing a Tea with Me tour of our house there but the post I want you to read is Something Different for Mother’s Day.

Flowers in the Kitchen is a fun blog, with great images and very imaginative recipes. Best of all she uses alot of local ingredients, another bit soapbox for me.

Boscoe, the Cookie Doctor. What? Yep. That’s the name. Do you love it? I do. Again, a new blog to me, but one that I am visiting often..I enjoyed the commentary but it was when I hit the recipe for Gingersnap, Raspberry, and Grand Marnier Ganache Sandwich Cookies that I was hooked.

Cabbage Roses and Cupcakes has an amazing ability to suck me in to the blog as time ticks away without me being aware of it. The recipe for chocolate mousse cake is incredible and garnished with pink rose petals it is divine.

Kopiaste is a Greek food blog that I met through Valli at More than Burnt Toast. It is fantastic! A feast for the eyes and the …well..I am almost always hungry when I come away from there.

And…Visions of Sugarplum. More specifically, Macadamia Nut Ale Brownies with White Chocolate-Toffee Ganache.

And that is all I am saying about that.

Have a great weekend…..Oh, and….

Don’t you hate it when you wake up and you are laying in bed and can’t go back to sleep? I do. I won’t stare off into the darkness of the room for long..I usually get up.

Well it has been unusually chilly in Texas this spring and I didn’t want to get up so I did the next best thing..I thought about something helpful I could add to the blog. I mean, doesn’t everyone contemplate their blog at 4 a.m.?

Frugality was once a trait that was admired. A cook that could make something out of nothing, that knew what was in her pantry and used it all..well she was admired. If you have ever read Anne of Green Gables series, perhaps you will remember Mrs. Rachel Lind commenting to Marilla in Anne’s House of Dreams that Anne didn’t have anything in the breadbox that shouldn’t be there..and there was a sense of pride in the comment.

We are such a wasteful society. What you find in the dumpster behind a grocery store is criminal. And with the economy doing what it is doing? Well, maybe it is time to admire frugality and wit once again.

This post begins a regular what to do with left over….. feature.

But…I thought that a cool way to do this would be to make it a round-up. So, every month we will have a new what to do with leftover…. roundup and link to all of the blogs. Cool idea? I thought so.

I will add the round up post, with links, to my pages section Under the heading of Leftovers. Imaginative, I know!

So…Here are the rules:

• Your recipe must include the leftover featured in a significant amount.
• For this month’s theme, eggs, you can use them in whatever form. Leftover egg whites, yolks, whole eggs, cooked, half cooked..whatever.
• You must post by May 21
• You post must include the banner and a link to this post ..You can reduce the banner size if you wish.
• You must send me a link to your post, I will grab the picture and format it for my blog.
• Send it to maryeaudet[AT]gmail[DOT]com

That’s it! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Better late than never…Today I have chosen alot of blogs that have images that I enjoy.  If you are going to blog food you need to take your own pictures as much as you can, I think, and they need to be good!  Following are some of the best images I have seen this week..

I saw this as I was checking out blogs the other day…Julie from One Wall Kitchen is a cheffing student and she has the most incredible sugar creations on her blog! It is a MUST see. The multicolored bowls seriously look like vintage California Pottery items! Kudos Julie!

Some pretty talented people grace my blog with their presence. Stop over and congratulate Carrie, at Carrie’s Kitchen Creations for opening her new photography shop on Etsy! She does beautiful images.

Talking about amazing images…Stacy at Vicarious Foodie has a scallion and cheddar panini that is ..yum.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cynthias Inspired Baking post on Tastes Like Home. I love beautiful images, and here are more of the best I have seen.

I just want to tell you guys that not only do you all cook like you are cheffing for God Himself but the images show how multitalented so many of you are!

Check out Kevin’s Green Tea White Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies…with Chocolate Ganache..We will just call them GTWCMBCG for short, ‘k? Closet Cooking is a great blog for improving your food photography skills because Kevin plates and shoots the images with an eye for pleasing detail and good texture and color contrast.  I used to be an artist in a previous life…(before kids) and I am telling you…if you want to improve your images then look at some of these blogs and see what they do, how they plate, how they arrange the shot.

For A Taste of Yellow Round-up Lina at My Life is Yummy, does a Condensed Milk Pound Cake with Pineapple Sauce. MMMMmmm.

We call Shiloh Snickerdoodle, it has been her  nickname since her birth. Kyrie is Bug, Shiloh is Snickerdoodle, Erin is still Bo.  Anyway Steph at A Whisk and a Spoon has the best looking Snickerdoodles that I have seen. YUMMY perfection.

You know there are alot of cool roundups…and I need to get organized enough to get involved in them. I feel like the kid that has to sit in the school room doing math while the other kids are on the playground. Pixie is one of the sweetest bloggers I know…and I love reading her posts on You Say Tomato… I Say Tomato.  They are always fun to read, and you get a real feeling for who she is…At least I think so…anyway, like Lina she did a post for A Taste of Yellow and this one is a fantastic Lemon Cake with Strawberries.

If you haven’t figured out what you are having for breakfast check out Valli’s Tropical Mango Pancakes with Brown Sugar Syrup.  Valli always has something good cooking up there in the frozen northland..

I have been chatting with Cathy at Noble Pig for a bit over on Kettle and Cup…but check out these kickin’ ribs that she has posted.  The rub sounds amazing..the only thing she left out was the chipotle…

For an excellent tutorial on making frosting clowns to decorate cakes check out this post by Min at Baking Project.  One of the best cake decorating how to’s I have seen.

Hope you have had as much surfer fun as I have..Have a great weekend.

O.k…well…

The Foodie Blogroll has changed. I have it up on Apron Strings and Simmering Things, because I don’t have creative license to what goes in the sidebars here…but I consider Baking Delights part of the blogroll. I can’t remember how many foodie blogs are on it now but there are a ton….and new ones every day.

One of the new ones is A Pot of Tea and a Biscuit. Welcome to the foodie blog roll, Sylvie! She has an awesome recipe for curried chicken parcels, which I am also pretty sure you could make ahead and use as part of your Once A Month Cooking line up.

If you think you have seen cupcakes, let me tell you..you have NOT seen cupcakes until you visit All Things Cupcake. Absolutely a cupcake feast for the eyes.

Look what I found on Home Gourmets! Hidden Chocolate Tarts. I would like to hide some of these away, myself!

Check out my cruller recipe on Apron Strings. It really came out awesome and I am ready to make some more! I liked the way that I shaped them, and so did the kids.

Stop by More Than Burnt Toast and congratulate Valli for winning the Royal Foodie Joust for February! She made Citrus Spice-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs…and…ummm…wow.

At Mrs Sac’s Purple Kitchen, Melissa cooks up an awesome version of one of my favorites, chicken tortilla soup.

Piggy’s Cooking Journal is not just a great food blog. The design of it and images are aesthetically perfect. She is part of the Tuesdays with Dorie crew and made some fantastic looking snickery bars this week.

Pixie is another one of my must read bloggers. She is magically amazing, as she has already eaten breakfast for tomorrow…oh wait..she is on the other side of the world!! Anyway..she creates Bagels on her blog, You Say Tomato..I Say Tomato

At Cafe Lynnylou Lynne makes a spiced blueberry grunt…did I mention my adoration of all things blueberry?

Dharm cracks me up…Call it sexist but a guy who cooks intrigues me…because…well…other than the grill, Marc would starve to death without me. We have a system..he keeps gas and oil in the car and I keep food in his belly. It has worked for 28 years…ANYWAY..

Dharm at Dad~Baker & Chef creates his grandmother’s recipe for Caramel Custard and it looks fabulous. Apparently his grandma made it for them when they were sick..I would have been sick constantly I think!

Check out the cake balls on Megan’s blog, which is aptly named, Megans Cookin. They look fantastic.

Laurie at the Quirky Cupcake announced the ingredient for March, which is Marshmallow. If you are going ot take part get your entry in by the 28th.

The Way the Cookie Crumbles is not a blog that I have ever visited before…so I head over there to see what’s up…and what’s up is..Oh my gosh…raspberry bars. Did I mention that raspberries are also adored by yours truly? So when I stopped licking the screen……

and went on to Jen at Canadian Baker only to find….Cranberry Pear bars.

So I am done..I have gained 20 lbs looking at this stuff. Everything looks good, and now I am craving food…

Hey, if you have a food blog, and you haven’t ever commented leave a comment! I like blog visiting on Saturdays and I would love to see what you are doing.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to spring forward to night with the clocks. I dislike this time change..I prefer the autumn one, by the way, but no one asked me.

o.k..so I had a rough day.  I am sitting here at midnight, should be sleeping, but decided to go ahead and post my Saturday Surfing because I am such a creature of habit.

If you must know, my computer is down for the count and I am on the slower, less cool, less helpful computer usually relegated to the kids reports and school stuff.  We are a paperless homeschool as much as possible.

However I am going to prevail on this behomoth. So…

One thing I have not posted about is the blog challenges and roundups that happen regularly.  DaringBakers is only one of the very cool activities that happen every month.

The first is the Royal Foodie Joust  by Jenn, the Leftover Queen.  Every month the winner from the previous month chooses three ingredients that the contestants have to use in their entry.  It is great fun.  For February I entered a Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Orange Honey Sauce

O.k…Next on the list is RootSource Challenge.  The ingredient this month is ..mmm…Orzo!

Almost too late for Master Baker.  March 2 is the last day.   The ingredient is  Cinnamon.  My entry is the Rose and Cinnamon Scented Scones on Kettle and Cup.

An Apple A Day is March 3rd.  You must use apples and one other item from  the following list:

•  Almonds
• Black Tea
• Cinnamon
• Dark Chocolate
• Fish
• Peperoncino
• Tomatoes 
  

You can bake something for International Women’s Day…March 8 but it MUST be yellow!

One Dish Dinners is the theme for this months Monthly Mingle at What’s For Lunch Honey? You have until March 10 to come up with something incredible.

Kitchen Parade has a special round-up happening for Pi Day March 14…Yep..it’s homemade PIE.

Culinography dishes out Homegrown Gourmet #6..Breakfast.  Mmmm….entries are due March 13.

What’s Cooking is doing a change of seasons theme with Food for Plastic II- A Taste of Spring or Fall March 14

Who can resist cupcakes? And what is more important, who would want to? The Cupcake Spectacular is March 15.

Art You Can Eat has a very cool competition.  This month it must be egg shaped or made with eggs.  Last month Inge of Vanielje Kitchen won it with an incredible creation. Due March 19

Festa Italiana is a celebration of Italian food and drink. Entries are due March 22.Check out the details at  Finding La Dolce Vita

Inge is a host of Apples and Thyme which is due the 20th of every month.  It is a celebration of the generations of women who cook and their impact on our lives..It is a fabulous thing..I can’t do justice to it in explanation so just go check it out.

If you like to read and you like to eat you need to check out Novel Food, a quarterly roundup at Champaign Taste.  Entries should be posted by March 22.  Just make something related to a literary work. Fun!

Stephanie is always doing something at Dispensing Happiness, true to the name of her blog.  This month it is a blogwide pizza party! .  Also 3/22

The Heart of the Matter is doing heart healthy party food. Entries due March 19.

And don’t forget Ruth’s Presto Pasta Night every Friday night! There are some incredible pasta recipes on the roundup every week.

This is not nearly all of them but it is many of them!  Enjoy checking them out, and get brave and enter a few!
