Bloggers have the best recipes! It is inspiring to see the diverse and luscious dishes posted each week. I have been a better cook because of it! This week I am trying two new recipes from some very creative blogging cooks. Hope you will try them too!
One perfect example of a fabulous food blog full of mouthwatering pictures, recipes galore and lots of personality is Butter Yum. Don't you just love that name? And my friend Patricia can cook! She is celebrating her 1 year Anniversary in the blogging world and is having a generous giveaway. If you don't know what a Bouchon is you'll want to find out. And if you already know I'm sure you are not even reading the end of this sentence-

Also, My dear friend Mrs. P at Faithfulness Farm is having a 100 post giveaway. She has posted 100 posts since July giving us a wealth of interesting and creative ideas, recipes and thoughts.
