2 cookbooks that you must get this season are Steamy Kitchen Cookbook-101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight’s Dinner and The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl. Both bloggers with very different styles of cooking and very tasty!

Jaden from Steamy Kitchen makes these amazing quick and simple asian recipes.  She’s funny as heck,  her food photography is beautiful, and has recipe creativity coming out her wazoo .   I watched her work hard on it and can’t wait to get it.  Congratulations Jaden on creating such a fabulous success with your natural talent!

Ree from The Pioneer Woman, a gal living ranch life like myself, adds a bit of the city to her country cookin’.  Her step-by-step photos make you drool and her witty writing captures you from the beginning.  I have no doubt that her cookbook will be the same.  Congratulations to you as well Ree and have fun on your book tour!

Well, it’s official!! I came in second place at the Blogger’s Choice Awards for Best Food Blog.  WOOHOO! Of course, I would loved to have come in first but I was 157 votes shy from the ever so popular Pioneer Woman.  That’s okay though…I’m proud to have won second place and a total of 300 votes ain’t to shabby!  Coming in third was Cake Wrecks which is a very humorous blog!

They are already taking nominations for the next year and there are tons of categories including the best food blog so I encourage you to go and nominate someone and start voting!!!  By the way, you can vote for more than one person in the same category, you just can’t vote for the same person twice in the same category;)

Thanks so much to everyone who voted for me!  I really do appreciate it!!! You guys RAWK!
