The award comes with a 7's meme, so I'm going to give it a try -- another first. Thanks to Brenda for the kind words - "My new cyber buddy Cora at Cora Cooks, her sight makes my mouth water." Be sure to visit Webbie's World, as soon as you leave here.

And now I'm supposed to pass this meme along to seven other bloggers I enjoy. I've only recently been getting to know some of my fellow bloggers, but there are a few that I have followed for quite some time. Although I'm not sure they are into memes, I would still like for them to know that I admire their work.
1. Kalyn Denny, of Kalyn's Kitchen, is one of the first blogs I read regularly -- and still do. Kalyn has great recipes and a true dedication to her purpose and her readers.
2. Alanna Kellogg, of Veggie Venture and Kitchen Parade, has a blog and writes a regular food column for her local newspaper. She also lives in the same town where my son and daughter-in-law live near St. Louis. She has been generous with her time and blogging wisdom and she has an amazing repertoire of recipes -- my go to resource for vegetables dishes.
3. Susan, at Wild Yeast, is my bread-baking idol. Her breads are beautiful. Her writing makes the art of bread baking sound easy as can be. And she built her own brick oven. Amazing!
4. Reading Ree, at The Pioneer Woman, is a true delight . Every time I read her blog, I envy her spirit and her authentic voice.
5. Food Rockz is another favorite I have followed for a while. I like his devotion to the farmers' markets in DC, his beautiful photography and his tastes in food and recipes that as so similar to my own.
6. I met Maris, who writes In Good Taste, at the BlogHer Boston conference last month and I've been reading her ever since. I love her fresh and thoughtful outlook on life and her articulate youthful voice. Oh to be so young again and know what I know now!
7. And finally, Lydia, of The Perfect Pantry, is another food blogger I met in Boston. We share many of the same food and writing experiences and I love her focus on the pantry -- and important part of my kitchen too.
