Finest Foodies Friday โ October 9, 2009
IF YOU LIKE FOOD BLOGS, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE EVERY FRIDAY!
As always here is what the FFF is all about. Finest Foodies Friday is a weekly Friday post featuring favorites from The Foodie Blogroll! We do this so we can share in the rich diversity of what The Foodie Blogroll has to offer by featuring some of our favorites and yours!
What is the Foodie Blogroll? It is the first and fastest growing free membership blogroll for food bloggers and has become a wonderful community to share ideas about all things food related. With a membership of over 5,200 food blogs, I am sure you can find much inspiration and new friends! ๐
The only requirement to be featured here on FFF is to be a member of The Foodie Blogroll and be displaying The Foodie Blogroll widget on your blog. If you are not yet a member, but you have a food blog and would like to join us, please click here!
If you have a favorite foodblog on The Foodie Blogroll, that you would like to be featured here on FFF, please join us over on The Leftover Queen/Foodie Blogroll Forum, and post your favorite Foodie Blogroll foodblogs here.
I wanted to feature this blog today, because Katie has been around the blogosphere for as long as I have. She is just coming out of a one year hiatus, and has a new baby. So for those of you who haven’t been to Katie’s blog, you should check it out. As for those of your who know Katie, let’s welcome her back! This is what Katie B. has to say about the inspiration behind her blog: โHonestly, I would sooner open a can of soup for dinner than try to make something without a recipe. Give me some directions and I can feed you something fun and fresh and yummy… nothing to follow, no carefully measured ingredients… and you get soup. Just how it is. What this means, is that I make meals pulled from friends, family, cookbooks, recipe sites, other food blogs… other people’s food.โ There are some really great recipes for just about everything you could crave.
Oh Kitchen, What Won’t You Do?
Another blogger I want to welcome back is my buddy Georgia, who just got married recently! ๐ This blog is authored by Georgia, and Randi, two girls, who much like the rest of us, are obsessed with food! These girls are part of the Daring Kitchen, and regularly participate in other online Foodie Events. Hopefully they will make an appearance soon on the Jousting fields! Looking at the attire from Georgia’s wedding, I think it is very appropriate (by the way, Georgia, I LOVE IT!!! and Congrats!)!
This lovely blog is written by Jan who lives in England. She and I like to talk a lot via facebook about food and the differences we have in weather! ๐ Her blog is always full of soul-warming, delicious fare. She has this to say about food: “I don’t believe that you should be too concerned with exact measurements in cooking. Within reason, if you like something put more in, if you don’t put in either less, or something else in it’s place! It will nearly always turn out fine. I love cooking and eating especially! I like almost anything – from good old English Roast Beef to Greek, Turkish, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Moroccan, Mexican……..most things actually!” As you can see she enjoys many culinary influences, and I am sure that you will enjoy her blog!
Another Twitter buddy of mine is Jo from Adventures of Kitchen Girl. Jo is a thirty-something Mother of 3 who loves to cook and take pictures of food. She also enjoys doing product reviews, wherehonest opinions are always given… good, bad or just so so. Of course she has a lot of family friendly meal ideas on her blog, but they are perfect for everyone!
This blog is written by Gretchen, who loves to write about the flavors, markets and cuisine of Peru. She lived in Peru for 6 years as a missionary. She says: โMy experiences here in Peru have taken me to 19 of the 24 departments, including the heights of the Andes mountains and the depths of the jungle. I love the variety of cultures within Peru and I find that variety so often represented in the foods of the different regions…I hope to take you on an adventure through Peru, showing you the many delicious foods found here as well as all the creative things you can do with them.โ
Thatโs it for this week! I hope you enjoyed this weekโs FFF. Remember, if you would like to see a blog featured here, who is part of the FBR please visit the forum and nominate them.
I NEED NOMINATIONS!!!!!! I know we all have our favorite blogs that we read everyday, and I would love to know about them. We have a very diverse food community, and I would love to see more of the blogs you love featured. We also have a lot of humanitarians out in the Foodie Blogosphere. If you think there is a food blogger out there that deserves a little recognition for their culinary skills, or what they are doing to help the world through the lens of food, please tell us about them!!! Please post your favorite Foodie Blogroll foodblogs here.
Also we all love to know how people came to find our blogs, so please visit all of our featured bloggers today and donโt forget to tell them that you found them via Finest Foodies Friday! They would love to have your feedback.

Another round of great pics – and some more people to meet and bloggers to learn from. I am always amazed at moms that blog. My life is busy enough without kids – these moms are incredible.
Didn’t know you were on Facebook – will have to find you.

Lost of blogs to look at. I can’t even remember my password for foodie blogroll and even if they sent me a new password yesterday, they won’t allow me to log in.
