[FONT=Arial]there are so many food blogs its hard to find a place to begin and a way to focus. I find it incredible to see so many really talented cooks of all kinds contributing the most beautiful food blogs complete with photography, from pastry to savory, ethnic foods, regional foods, traditional, gourmet, fusion, and on and on. I thought I would just start by giving a link or two to the ones I have seen. but I am still just starting out on the quest for the best food blogs/sites. maybe some of you have some favorites you would like to share, or do you have a food blog of your own? [B][URL="http://www.seriouseats.com/"]Serious Eats[/URL][/B] this is a comprehensive blog & site with articles, blogs, recipes, shopping - all about food. one feature I like is the photograzing section. photos of beautiful dishes - click on one for the recipe.

This is a favorite of mine. The World's Healthiest Foods If you scroll down toward the bottom of the page you will see "Over 100 Quick and Easy Recipes" You can design your search to an ingredient you have and would like a recipe for, or you can see a list of recipes based on Breakfast/Salad/Meat/Vegetarian...etc. I love that site.

Happy cooking. ;-) :wave:

Red Lentil Soup with Spinach and Lemon
adapted from Fresh Food Fast
Serves 4

1 1/2 cups red red lentils
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes, with their juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 bay leaf
5 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
In a large saucepan or soup pot over moderately high heat, saute garlic and ginger until aromatic, just a minute or two. Add lentils, bay leaf, tomatoes, and 4-5 cups water. Raise heat and bring to a boil; then reduce to a simmer and let cook until lentils are velvety soft and falling apart, about 15 minutes. Add spinach cook until wilted. Stir in lemon juice. Serve over hot, cooked whole grains or with bread. A dollop of Greek yogurt on top would be lovely.
