#31 Have you heard of food writer, Julie Van Rosendaal?

Guess what I found on my son's bookshelf... Julie Van Rosendaal's cookbook!

I LOVE reading cookbooks! : )

A young mother and food writer, Julie Van Rosendaal is easy to listen to and very practical.  You can hear her on CBC Calgary Radio, The Eyeopener, or find her radio clips and recipes here.  

Julie also has her own "kitchen diary" website, Dinner With Julie.  

And, if you love cookbooks, Chapters has five:

● Starting Out: the Essential Guide to Cooking on Your Own

● Spilling the Beans...

● One Smart Cookie...

● Grazing: Portable Finger Snacks & Finger Food...

● In the Dog Kitchen (recipes for your dog)

#13 Sandra Juto's photo blog

If you have time this morning to wander around the world, visit Sandra Juto in Berlin.  She has an amazing blog - few words, incredible photographs.  Originally from Sweden, Sandra now lives in Berlin.  Peek into her world!  Visit an open air market, walk up the staircase to her apartment, visit her uncle's home in Sweden.  For me, her pictures bring back wonderful memories of living and travelling in Europe.  In her blog Sandra also showcases some of the art design work she has done.  On the side, she makes wrist worms.  I'd love to learn how to knit a pair!

# 12 A "Linky" Experiment!!

So, we're trying something new tonight...hope it works!!  I've linked a previous post, Oatmeal Muffins, to a "Weekend Potluck" at The Country Cook.

Here, have an oatmeal muffin!  They really are tasty and super simple to make.  

While you're over at the potluck, check out some of the other posts Country Cook has put up lately.  Currently, she's sitting up in my Bookmark Bar and I make a point of checking her site a couple of times each week.  Lots of good cooking and well-written posts!

Hey!  I'm curious!  Which recipe sites do you like best?  

Happy Saturday!
