Over the course of break the amount of time I spend cooking and baking has grown exponentially. Seriously. If I’m not addressing Christmas cards I’m probably in the kitchen trying a new recipe. Let me tell you, it has been wonderful! I think hobbies are super important, especially if you have a job where your to-do list could be never-ending if you let it. We need to make time to play and have fun, people! I honestly think the Lord delights in it because, for me at least, it’s a trust issue. At some point I have to put down my work and trust God will either give me the time to do what I need to do or He will complete what I cannot do. But I digress…

This break I’m publicly declaring cooking as my new hobby! I will make time for it and won’t let guilt distract me. There, I said it.

But with the new hobby comes a need for new resources, which is really what this post is about. I can’t stop Googling cooking blogs or watching the Food Network. If my roommates didn’t reap the benefits, I think they would have an intervention.

Here are three blogs that I absolutely LOVE!

(1) The Pajama Chef
This blog is actually written by my former roommate Sarah! I can tell you first hand she is a wonderful cook and never does anything from a box…except brownies. I recently made her Sweet Potato Soup. I highly recommend it.

(2) Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body
I stumbled upon this blog when I was searching for a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe made with whole wheat flour. There is no butter and less sugar than other recipes I’ve used in the past. It was really good!

(3) Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice
I just found this one last night but can’t wait to try out her recipes! What caught my eye last night was her Zuppa Toscana.

So with that, who’s ready for dinner?
