Life in the East: FOOD BLOGS!

I know there are hundreds and hundreds of food blogs out there....but I feel very privileged to have two good friends who have really AMAZING food blogs.

The first is one of my closest and dearest friends. We were college roommates, and she means the world to me. DEBORAH! She has even been on TV a couple of times to do some cooking clips...(I think on KSL). She's amazing!

I think that I've made more of her dessert recipes than anything else, because they look so dang good! Deborah has literally HUNDREDS of recipes on her blog.....just check her "recipe archives" on her site to see the list.

Her blog is www.tasteandtellblog.com

Cookies n' Cream Cake (I just made this Sunday for Damon's birthday)

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie - to die for

My other friend, I only knew in person for a couple of months, but in that short amount of time she became one of my favorite people, and has become an inspiration to me in more ways than one. JENNA!

Her food blog is www.just-cook-already.blogspot.com

Many people contribute to this blog, and I've made some super delicious, yet, ridiculously EASY recipes from this blog.

My favorites being the Big Sky Chili, and Crock pot chicken taco's- which you later make into chicken tortilla soup with the leftover chicken (cooking on my stove right now!)

Big Sky Chili

Peach Cobbler - which I can't wait to make!

I will never be an avid enough cook to have my own food blog, which is why i am super grateful for good friends who can share their delicious recipes with me!
