8 Food Blog Links We Love

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. 

With the Oscars on Sunday, you've got the perfect excuse to throw a party. Because most of your guests will be parked on the couch or floor all night, eyes glued to the TV, you'll want to whip up plenty of small bites that require little fuss. A few snacks, sweets, and a cocktail (for good measure) should do the trick. These links will help.

• Speaking of inventive toppings, try pistachio butter and candied kumquats on your crostini. (Princess Tofu.)

• These delicate Korean dumplings are filled with tofu and kimchi. (Seven Spoons.)

• Get out your grill (or grill pan) and make these pears with cinnamon drizzle. (A House in the Hills.)

• These spice-roasted chickpeas are addictively crunchy. (Vintage Mixer.)

• A different take on chickpeas: za'atar-spiced garbanzo flour crackers. (Dolly and Oatmeal.)

• Every party needs a little booze! Try this grapefruit and rum cocktail. (Pastry Affair.)
