Blog Crush - Joy The Baker

Aaaaaand the blog love continues.  Joy The Baker is laugh out loud funny + baking.   My kind of blog!  What really got me was a post called "How to Impress a Boy by Baking".  It's utter hillarity, but kept reminding me of my recent blunder where a date asked me what I like to cook and I said "salad dressing".  My friends laughed about that all last weekend.  Clearly I should have read this post and I would have had him eating out of my hand.

Some highlights:

"Even if you are a wild, foul-mouthed hippie… you’re a wild foul-mouthed hippie who can cook. Moms like girls who can cook. Be a girl who can cook."

"boys are happiest with a simple meal that involves steak, barbecue sauce, and warm chocolate chip cookies."

"And that’s my two cents… put that in your brain hole to marinate"

Blog Crush - My Tartlette

There's nothing like being home on a Friday night with crippling heart burn and an empty DVR.  Thank God for the interwebs.  I stumbled across http://www.mytartelette.com/ and fell instantly head over heels in love.  Look at these pictures!

My Tartlette is making me
1) Want to learn French
2) Get an incredible camera
3) Become a macaroon making machine
4) Have the ability to quit my job, and cook and blog for a living
     4a) Be able to eat incredible creations like this and not gain 100lbs. 
     4b) Or get crippling acid reflux.

I think I got about 20 pages deep and I'm still going.  This blog is beautiful, and inspiring.  Enjoy!
