Favorite Foodie Friday… Week One Confessions of a Cookbook Queen

When I started my obsession with food blogs a few years ago, there were just a handful of food blogging sites that I visited regularly.  It didn’t take long to discover that the food blogosphere can be a bit overwhelming once you dive in. There are bloggers that I’ve followed, either for their fabulous recipes and ideas, amazing photos, tips and tutorials, or their personal writing styles. But every once in awhile, when I come across a food blog that has all of the above, it earns “Favorite Foodie” status in my book.

I could rattle off a whole bunch of my favorites right here, many of which can be found on my link love page, but a list of links really won’t allow you to get to know any of these bloggers. Instead, each Friday I’m going to share one of my favorite food bloggers with you. I have a feeling, you’re going to love them as much as  I do.

First up, is the blogger behind Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, Kristan from Arkansas. I think it’s a possibility that we were twins separated at birth, except she’s a lot funnier than I am. She’s not just funny, the girl is hilarious! Her anecdotals, stories about being a mom, and her fabulous fun treat ideas keep me stalking her site daily. One of the best parts about blogging is getting to make friends with people all over the world that have similar interests. The bummer is when you find people you’d actually love to hang out with, but find out there’s several thousands of miles between you. I’ve told Kristan that if she ever gets back to visit California, we will plan a day of reality trash t.v. and I will personally take her on a house tour of the Real Housewives of the OC. And if I’m lucky, she’ll show me how to make one of her amazing creations.

When you visit her site, I guarantee you’re going to want to make these…

Rice Krispie Ice Cream Cones ~ These are filled with candy and are perfect party favors. That’s not ice cream on top, but rice krispie treats. You will earn favorite mom status if you make these for your kiddos and their friends. Kristan shows you how and always posts lots of great photos, along with her recipes.

and after you’ve made those, then you’ll want to make the cutest brownie bites ever… 

and when you come across these lipstick cookies, you’ll be so impressed, you’ll have to find out how in the heck she made them. Have you ever seen anything like these? These would be perfect for a girl’s night, or for a little girl’s dress up party.

 

I could go on and on about her soda cupcakes, chocolate covered potato chips, and homeade Twinkies, but I’d be barely scratching the surface of her creativity. Go stop by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen to meet Kristan,  and you’ll see why I’m hooked!

Have a great weekend everyone!

    So I spent the day with my kid at a Science Museum yesterday, and you can imagine my surprise when a friend texted me to tell me about your feature!!

    The very best part of blogging is people I meet like you. You bring so much joy to my lonely little life as a stay at home mom out here in the country!! Thank you so much for the feature and for being a bloggy friend. It truly means a lot.

    I really hope I get to take you up on your Housewives tour offer one of these days!!

    -Kristan ;)

    Those ice cream cones rock. Kind of like those candles when we were kids, but I’m sure much, much tastier.
