My two favorite blogs ever!

Since it is the season of giving and all that happy joyness. I have decided to share with you my two favorite blogs in all the world. Actually one is technically not a blog but a site that links to blogs but who's counting?

Blog number one:
Pioneer Woman
To get started on Pioneerwoman, I strongly suggest doing one of two things (both of which I did when I discovered the site but then again, I think I was up all night reading): first, browse her recipes. Unlike most food blogs out there, Ree (the Pioneerwoman) has good down-to-earth recipes with normal ingredients. Nothing fancy-smancy that you have to mail order from a tiny little country somewhere in Europe that charges $600 for a little half ounce jar and you need two ounces. 8-0
Secondly, check out the Black Heels To Tractor Wheels section of her site, but only if you have several hours to burn.
About once a week or so, Ree will have giveaways. She will give away anything from the latest copy of Photoshop to a brand new you-pick-the-color Kitchen Aid Mixer. I want. I really want. I have entered several giveaways for various items but a Kitchen Aid mixer...I salivate. I'm really hoping I'll win one from her latest Kitchen Aid mixer giveaway.

Blog Number two:
Foodgawker (WARNING! FOOD PORN! ;-) )
I could be on this site for hours! Literally hours. I should clarify that this is not technically a blog. It is a super awesome site that links to food blogs. There are over 200 pages chock full of recipes with mouth-water pictures. Some of the sites that are linked are in a foreign language, use European measurements and or crazy weird ingredients. Most, however, can be made with ingredients you have on hand or maybe only one or two special ones. Also, you can use an online converter to convert the European measurements into American.
