Seeing Stars: 6.12.09

So even though I haven't been commenting on your blogs over the last couple of weeks, I wanted you to know that I've been keeping up with them. I promise I'll have more time for the food blogosphere when I get home, but in the meantime, why don't you check out the following sites?

Big Red Kitchen: Robin Sue brings back the memories with her adult-like "Edible Cocktails" (which we all know to be Jell-O shooters). Somehow, unfortunately, her Sangria Edible Cocktail didn't make it to that grad school party I last had shooters at, and they definitely didn't look this pretty!

goodLife {eats}: Now that summer is upon us, we're all in search of light refreshing meals. Check out Katie's Pasta with Green Beans, Feta and Dill for an easy weeknight summer dinner.

And now for some food-related, but not recipe sites:

Food Network Humor: Have you seen this site yet? Am I the only one who doesn't know about it? It's a hilarious blog making fun of our favorite cable channel: The Food Network.

Food & Fizz: This is a relatively new food photo site. Check it out and submit your photos!

VeggieTrader: Do you have a garden, but don't know what to do with all of that extra produce that could feed an army? Check out VeggieTrader, a site that connects people to swap produce within their geographic area.

Seeing Stars: 6.5.09

Annie's Eats: Annie has posted her lovely Chicken Gyros this week, and I am definitely running to the store to make these, just as soon as I get back to the U.S. and to my grill!

Citrus and Candy: It's Karen't 100-post anniversary, and she celebrated with her Chocolate Lime Brulee Tart. Go over to congratulate her...and be prepared to drool!

Life's Ambrosia: Des created this lovely Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade that makes me want to sit on the porch and watch the world go by...

Our Life in Food: After living in Spain several years ago, I'm always drawn to Spanish cuisine. I especially love paella, but don't particularly like seafood. Carrie's Tomato Paella with Chorizo fits the Spanish paella bill--lots of flavor and no seafood!

Panini Happy: And finally, Kathy, my Adopt-a-Blogger mentor, has been nominated for the 2009 BlogLuxe Awards for Tastiest Blog. Go over and show her your support!

Seeing Stars: 5.29.09

I have decided to create a "Seeing Stars" in order to share my favorite posts from other bloggers that I've stumbled across throughout the week. I've seen other food bloggers do this, and it's turned me on to some really great blogs and posts out there, so I thought I'd pass the joy on to you. I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did!

Bell'Alimento: Paula created a beautiful Napa Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with spinach and mushrooms that had even this mushroom hater contemplating making that mushroom sauce.

Our Best Bites: Sara is worked on a food-as-beauty-products series this week that I loved. I especially liked her Spa in the Kitchen: Facials. This post has tips on steams, exfoliation, masks, and more! And who doesn't like facial products that you can find in your kitchen?!

Playing House: Amy's Made-Up Marinade could inspire anyone to fire up the grill! I can't wait to get back to mine!

Oven Love: Natalie is the host of Pre-Made, Our Way and chose homemade Pop Tarts for this month's challenge. I participated, and although mine turned out very tasty, her Bite-Sized Pop Tarts are just so darned cute!
