We've scoured the web, found our favorite food blog posts, and now we're bringing them right to your desktop. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it.
Even though a certain love-centric holiday is weeks away, it seems that many of our favorite food bloggers have chocolate on the brain. From tarts and pies to cookies and pancakes, chocolate has worked its way into every dish this week. We say, why wait until February 14th? Enjoy it now. (And later.) These links will help.
- These banana-chocolate-coffee muffins get a healthy kick from whole wheat flour. (The Vanilla Bean Blog.)
- This orange and chocolate tart is truly a thing of beauty. (Happyolks.)
- Marcona almonds take these blondies to the next level. (Joy the Baker.)
- Rye flour and dark chocolate team up to create rich, dense muffins. (Green Kitchen Stories.)
- Chocolate chunks and dark brown sugar belong together. (At least in cookies.) (Take a Megabite.)
- A chocolate cream pie that'll tempt you to break all your resolutions. (Sippity Sup.)
- Blueberry chocolate chip pancakes, inspired by Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch. (Yummy Books.)

This is a great roundup! Though I have to say that while I've browsed through many of these blogs on occasion, I always go back to With The Grains, especially when I'm in the mood for a classic recipe with a fun and quirky twist. I especially love the pie crust with chevre...I actually eat it like a cookie (no shame).

I've had a cooking blog for a little over a year. Mine is not your traditional "recipe" blog. It stems from my kitchen make over. I started posting on Facebook "hmmm, what am I going to make in my new kitchen?" hence, www.newkitchenmeals.blogspot.com! It is all about what I make for dinner. I'd love to hear commentary from you! I could use all the help I can get.... Thanks..

such yummy links! i saw the marcona almond and chocolate chip blondies earlier this week. genius! i'm kind of relieved to see treats and such instead of resolution friendly recipes...moderation in all things, right?

I made these crackers from TheKitchn as part of my on-going efforts to replace store-bought staples with homemade ones.

These were delicious, super easy, and totally done in 45 minutes flat!
