These are in no way in any particular order, but here are 5 food blogs that I love to read. It takes a lot of planning, awesome photography skills, and patience to run a food blog, but the results are always amazing. Here are the ones that provide sensible recipes, useful hints and tips, or are just plain mouthwatering eye candy.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks! - I love love love this blog. You are taken through recipes in a step-by-step photo tutorial, which makes everything seem more reasonable to do. Not to mention she doesn’t use hard-to-find magical ingredients, like unicorn spittle and kitten laughter.

101 Cookbooks - This is an amazing blog that showcases amazing food. I can’t believe that these recipes are made from scratch. You know dedication when you read a recipe that calls for setting aside an entire weekend for lasagna.

52 Cupcakes - Eye candy galore. I don’t even like cupcakes! But this site makes me crave them. The best part is that each cupcake is experimental and different–a great inspiration for those who love to bake but can’t think of new combinations to try. (I would strangle a one-armed koala for one a caramel cowtail cupcake)

The Cake Blog - Awesomely designed wedding cakes! What more could you ask for? Graduation cakes? Mini fruit tarts? Equestrian cakes!? I’m about to pass out from all the baked goodness. If I ever have a traditional wedding, you better believe it’s because I want the cake.

Lunch in a Box - Chock full of cute pictures and lunch-packing ideas (which is what I have been all about lately), what I love most about this blog is its practical ingredients and bento-style organization. It makes lunch-making into something fun instead of a chore, which is always a plus!

Bonus:
Tastespotting - If you haven’t been following this site, get on the ball! It’s a great portal for finding other food sites, and of course just looking at some amazing things that you will never, ever get the chance to eat in your lifetime.

If you follow any other food blogs you’d like to recommend, leave a comment or send an e-mail–this will probably be the first of many posts like these

I absolutely love 101cookbooks. I’d better skip the cake & cupcake blogs, though, or I know I’ll be baking tonight!

That’s the downside to blogs that revolve around baked goods–you might say they are a little TOO inspiring. Next thing you know, you’re waiting eagerly for friends and family to try your latest concoction…
