Before I start off our first ‘Sunday Brunch’ for Issue Two, I’d like to give a shout out to the winner of our CHAPS/Where Women Cook Giveway! (If you recall, the winner will receive a 1-year subscription to Where Women Create and Where Women Cook magazines, CHAPS gear and a full pass to The Creative Connection in September in St. Paul, MN.!)

CONGRATS, JILL! Can’t wait to see you at The Creative Connection in September, and we hope you enjoy the CHAPS gear and the magazines! Much thanks to Celeste Shaw for her kindness, support and generosity!

Now, back to Sunday Brunch-that time of the week where we shine a little Internet love on a food blogger that has caught our eye. At the end of the quarter, our Editor-in-Chief, Jo Packham, will be selecting one of these lovely women featured here weekly to be in an upcoming issue of Where Women Cook. (Congrats again to our winner from Issue One, Jenny Flake of “Pickey Palate”. Jenny’s feature will be in our 3rd issue out on June 1st!)

I put a call out last week to you all to ask what your favorite food blogs are and who I should be reading. I fell in love with everything about Kristin (lawyer AND foodie), of The Kitchen Sink.

“After spending most of my life at The Kitchen Sink as the dishwasher (growing up, my parents and grandparents were all excellent cooks and I did more watching and washing than stirring and seasoning), I have evolved into a cook myself. “

As some of you know, Amuse Bouche is one of my writing gigs. I’m a personal blogger in my own right and my first fan base waaaay back in 2005 (oddly) was from Bemidji State University in Minnesota, so she won my heart with this post about Lemon BARS and her expertise on the charm of the Minnesota accent.

The love continued at this insanely clever recipe. (Pumpkin BROWNIES? Wowzers.)

MUST. EAT. FRIES. NOM! (Could you die at the pretty of this presentation? Love the paper. Reminds me of eating Fish ‘n Chips of the steps of the Minster in York…)

I’m a bit scared of using lentils in my cooking. I’ve always wanted to but you know, it’s on my “LIST OF INTIMIDATING INGREDIENTS”. (Oh, come on. We ALL have that list. Admit it!) But this Winter Lentil Soup just MIGHT get me to overcome my fear and cook with them. Maybe.

I am seriously never going to get sick of her use of paper and food. Look at these Banana Blueberry muffins! IT’S KILLING ME, SMALLS!

Not only did I love the Turkey Lasagna but it was in a post all about visiting my fair state (Utah) to ski and to visit the Sundance Film Festival (Which I did this year. So fun.)
