Welcome to the #FoodBloggerLove reveal post! Today we reveal who our secret assignment blogs were and why they are so special!
Food Blogger Love benefits No Kid Hungry. As food bloggers we recognize the need to spread the word about this important organization. You can find out more about and donate here on their website.
Special thanks to Allison, Jess and Sharon from The Pinterest Test Kitchen for organizing this event!
My secret food blog is Two Lazy Gourmets.
Robin Donovan and Juliana Gallin are the lazy foodies behind Two Lazy Gourmets and coauthors of The Lazy Gourmet cookbook (Viva Editions, 2011).
You’ll find a wide array of recipes from appetizers like Thai Chicken Satay to desserts like Maple-Glazed Bacon Beignets!
Here’s what the bloggers wanted me to know about them:
I love food that is full of flavor, generally healthy, and deceptively easy to make. I especially love spicy food and Asian food of all sorts (Indian, Thai, Burmese, Chinese, etc.) I like desserts, especially chocolate, vanilla, coconut, banana, caramel, peanut butter (any of the latter combined with chocolate is heaven!)
I heard the dessert part loud and clear! How does a banana cake with a creamy chocolate center, topped with strawberry glaze, peanut powder, coconut and fresh strawberries sound?
Enjoy ladies, this dessert was created with you in mind!
