Top 5 Food Blogs… in no particular order

I, like most foodies, enjoy a good food blog. It’s become some what of a past time for me. Turn on the computer, check my email, and then get to the good stuff: my favorite food blogs. I enjoy basking in the food light that these other bloggers radiate. I love reading their words and viewing their images, and I have come to realize something important: my life is better with these food blogs around. So pull up a chair, friend, and let’s have a toast to these fine food blogs.

*Editors note: This list is by no means a scientific poll. It’s merely a list of the top 5 food blogs I enjoy reading every day. Great text, great photos, and a lively personality. I appreciate what they do. So why not make a list of my favorite food blogs so other foodies can enjoy them as much as I do? Agreed.
