Now for today’s picks:
Lately there have just been so many great new additions to The Foodie Blogroll, that as I approve new ones, I add several to the list of blogs to be featured on FFF. So here are a few from the past 2-3 weeks that I feel are of special mention and some folks that have been around for a little while longer that deserve the spotlight.
Susan‘s blog, She’s Becoming Doughmesstic
is such a fun blog to read. Susan’s personality and sense of humor really comes out in all her posts. Her blog, as can be gleaned from the title is about her journey into domesticity by way of the kitchen. Susan and her husband have lead an adventurous and interesting life and have traveled quite a bit in their past. Today they continue to escape from the norm raising their son and keeping things interesting in their quest to have it all: a happy family, a clean house, and a kitchen full of things worth eating.
Kait‘s blog, Kait’s Place
She is a university student who has taken a year off to do an internship with IBM. One of her passions is cooking (and eating!). The food on her blog always looks so good. Her blog is almost a few months old, but she is really taking charge and getting out there to experience all that food blogging has to offer. Not only is she a member of The Foodie Blogroll, but also of the illustrious Darking Bakers and she has also joined that fabulous group Tuesday’s with Dorie. So I am sure if you don’t know Kait yet, you will soon enough!
Then there is Feed The People, Jessica‘s Blog.
She describes herself as : “A young chef with a passion for food – not just the cooking or eating – but also the writing.” – all ingredients that make up a great food blogger. I love her posts that focus on a particular food item, like squash or carrots and then tells you about said food item and gives ideas for how to prepare it. She also does a lot of canning and preserving. Something I have wanted to get into for a while. Great place to get those creative juices flowing and getting you thinking about food.
Speaking of such things, another blog I have been wanting to feature for a while is Kat and Matthew‘s blog, A Good Appetite
I am pretty sure a lot of you are already familiar with this blog, but I feel it really deserves mention. It is because of these guys that I was introduced to my new favorite book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Reading their blog and seeing all the wonderful breads really inspired me to go check the book out, and the rest is history. This blog is full of delicious, fresh and simply amazing food ideas that makes you think, “I should get in the kitchen right now!”
Next is Amy of We Are Never Full
Whenever I visit, I always feel inspired to get outside my comfort zone. There are certain blogs that you go to and think to yourself, that you could never think of making the kind of food they do in your kitchen. Not because you don’t like the looks of it, quite the contrary – it just looks like it takes a lot of counter space, extra mixing bowls, a nice liquor cabinet with all the right stuff inside. This is one of those blogs. You will go away with your mouth watering every time and wishing you were their neighbor.
Don’t forget to go and visit these great blogs and let them know that heard about them through Finest Foodies Friday!

I am floored! Thanks so much for featuring me, Jenn. I was so excited to find this post!
We Are Never Full - July 11, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Hey, Jenn! Thanks so much for featuring us on your weekly shout-out (i’ve got to add that it’s me and my husband jonny who write the blog, but i’m the vocal one ! ha ha ha). that was a nice description! we really try to push the envelope just a bit w/ our decisions on what to blog about. we really believe it’s important to help people learn about new types of ingredients and food cultures. we may seem to make really ‘hard’ things, but maybe someone out there will seek out that new ingredient that they don’t have or that special liquor and give something brand new a try and love it! that’s my secret wish every time.
thanks again – we really appreciate it.
Kat - July 11, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Ah, thanks so much for the shout out! We really enjoy being part of the foodies.

Teresa - July 12, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Jenn, thanks for visiting my site. I love sopaipillas. But like I told Adam, everything in moderation. So, how do you make zeppole? Are they sweet? I’ve thought of making a filling for my sopaipillas or drizzling them with chocolate. I’d love to learn how to prepare your version.
