BUDGET BYTES

I was supposed to fly to NYC to meet a friend of mine. I told her I need to keep this trip on the cheap side, since this summer been pretty rough on my pockets. She said -

Of course we could eat home, but that would probably be more expensive than eating out.

Budget Bytes is a food blog dedicated to making food on a budget. The blog itself looks yummy enough, and I love how it reflects our time. hell, I may even use their recipes.

Being crafty: Whip Up

All those crafty people. It seems like they have 24 hours a day just to make and look at beautiful things. Here's one that show us other crafty things she finds online (besides making some herself): Whip Up contains so much beauty, I could spend hours just by following the great crafty links it provides. Cool calendars, hats, cakes...you name it. Absolutely best.

Tasty blog: For the Love of baking

Here's a blog for people with good sized kitchen, and a well equipped one, as well. Baking is something I never do, but always wished I would. The smells, the ingredients, the results! Well, I normally just go to the patisserie, but here's a very good blog for your eyes and stomachs.

We cook: Salt and Pepper

They eat roses too. I love those people who can cook. And I adore those who can cook, take pictures, and blog it. Salt and Pepper is a pleasure to look at, read, and perhaps one day I'll even have the patience to try and make one of its wonderful recipes.

Tastes from Italy: il cavoletto di Bruxelles

I studied Italian this year in University, and was supposed to visit Napoli this summer. Exams took time, and eventually I will not see Italy before next year. This blog gives me the chance to have a taste of Italy, try make their food myself (yeah, right!) and improve my Italian.

I hope Italy is as good as this A Class Blog is. One thing: I couldn't find a translation to its title. Any clues?

A delicious blog: Morsels & Musings

The picture above belongs (probably) to Anna, the woman behind the Morsels & Musings blog. It's a simple blog with no special graphics or design, but many delicious pictures of food. Anna makes what I would call exotic food, rich in fruits and vegs, and is very tempting.

Even if you can't make this food yourself, at least you can know what to ask for next time you find yourself in Bali, Australia, or your chef-friends' place. An A-Class food, an A-Class blog!
