5 Food Blogs I’m Following Now

I was adamant about winter not ending.

After the past few years of abysmal winters here in Utah, this winter’s forecast of El Niño striking the mountain west with droves of snow had me in a literal tizzy of anticipation. And hope. And please, please, please, give me a white Christmas.

And it delivered! And then some. And I’ve relished every snow flake of different shapes and sizes.

Even just two weeks ago, when Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his groundhog hole to declare it would be an early spring, I was still hopeful winter would prove him wrong and the snow would continue to fall.

But then it turned warm. And these 50-degree temps in February have made me a turncoat as I shoosh Old Man Winter through the back door to greet Mother Nature and the spring in her step into my welcoming arms.

Bring on spring and new beginnings!

The change of weather has me craving healthier fare, food with a lighter hand. Too soon I’ll be trying on swimsuits and that means this girl’s gonna watch herself.

It’s something about the feel of fall in the air that turns me into a vicarious baker.

It’s all I want to do, to get into the kitchen and start baking all the banana breads, all the cinnamon rolls (of which I collect every single recipe but have yet to make from scratch) and whip out the recipe to my childhood favorite chocolate chip cookies.

Too bad I’m on a perennial diet. At least my daughter and all of her friends love me for my seasonal obsession.

My craving for baking is just one reason this month’s selection of food blogs I’m following now is leaning toward the baking and sweets style of food blogging, with a few totally healthy options thrown in.

Grilled Corn With Spicy Buffalo Butter

Easy grilled summer corn gets a kick in the tastebuds with a slathering of yummy buffalo sauce and blue cheese-spiked compound butter.

My husband has three fetishes when it comes to eating seasonally come summer.

First, watermelon. Seedless please.

Second, cucumbers. Even though he’s allergic to them he still puts us through listening to him clear his throat for minutes at a time because he can’t stop eating them. Lovely.

And third, corn. Corn, corn, corn.

Virtually every menu we’ve grilled up this summer has been peppered with the addition of grilled corn. Corn with burgers. Corn with ribs. Corn with chicken. And yes, even corn with (and on) pizza. While we’ve certainly been known to toss the cobs into the big stock pot to cook for a mere minute or three, our most favorite way to enjoy it is cooking it alongside whatever else is on the grill to make it, “charred corn for the win!”

However, corn would be nothing without butter. And this blue cheese buffalo compound butter is all about the slather. Off your chin. Like this butter is guaranteed to be.
