You Asked for Recipes!

Right before Thanksgiving I was writing a lot about all the baking I was doing and many of you left comments asking if I would post some of my favorite recipes. I'm still planning to do that but I'll have to wait until after the new year since there's so much going on right now with all our Christmas plans.

But wait! I've been spending some time over at a new blog some of you might really enjoy. If you've ever read anything by the author M.J. O'Shea (my personal favorite so far is Unintended), I think she does a really good job of writing about young m/m first love. She's has an author's page over at Goodreads with all her other other books, and I encourage you to check it out.

Also, she and Piper Vaughn have their own blog at Babes in Boyland and that's another site I'd recommend.

And now M.J. has started a new cooking blog and regardless of whether you're a "professional" cook or just somebody like me who's trying to learn the ropes of how to be a better cook, I think you'll love what she's doing over at The Salad Gourmet. She's posting recipes for meat courses, veggies, salads and all kinds of deserts and baked goods.

In addition to the scrumptious dishes she highlights, I really like the conversational tone of how she explains each step of preparation. It's more than just a list of ingredients and cooking instructions, she actually goes step-by-step and explains how she does things and gives you ideas of how you might modify the recipies.

The site is also really well-designed and the pictures of the dishes will literally make your mouth water. So what are you waiting for? Head on over to The Salad Gourmet and check it out!
