A Few of My Favorite Things....


Here I'll share some sites and blogs, both cooking related and otherwise, that I tend to frequent often.  You'll find food and cooking related links at the top of this page, and towards the bottom I'll share sites and blogs I enjoy just for fun.


Cooking & Baking Blogs and Websites

  • Bakerella - One of my favorite baking blogs.  Everything sweet.  And she's so creative!
  • i am baker - This woman makes so many awesome cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats.
  • Adriana's Italian Gourmet Cookies - This excellent site (which is actually Adriana's bakery's site) hosts a variety of traditional Italian and Sicilian recipes.  I'm dying to try the Torta Caprese  (Chocolate Almond Torte).
  • Just A Pinch - A sharing community for all sorts of delicious recipes.

  • Wilton - Aside from some great tutorials on creating cakes, cookies, and candy, this is also a great sight to see what sorts of equipment are available for all your baking needs.
  • Williams-Sonoma - I love this store, but can't afford to buy much there, sadly!
  • Bed, Bath & Beyond - BB&B has tons of great kitchen equipment - almost my entire wedding registry was found here!

Just for Fun

  • Katie Jacobs - This girl is amazing.  Sewing and historical costuming is to Katie Jacobs what cooking and baking is to me.
