Friday Favorites - The Dough Will Rise Again

As an avid and daily blog reader, I have quite the collection of starred posts in my Google Reader that fit into one of two categories: 1. they either speak to me or 2. they are make me want to {try to} DIY or 3. they introduce me to a new product.  Sometimes I go back at reread these posts and other times I just forget I’ve starred them at all.  So instead of letting them pile up in my Google Reader, I thought it’d be best to share some of my favorites with my readers, especially since I know how much I enjoy being introduced to new {to me} blogs that peak my interest and keep me coming back for more.


Since getting married a couple years ago, my love for the kitchen has grown.  Maybe it's because it's our own space and I know where everything is, but regardless it's been a place to create.  Unfortunately, I am not creative enough to come up with recipes on my own, so I turn to others to share their favorites and one of my go-to for new recipes is The Dough Will Rise Again.

Written by two friends who love to cook/bake, The Dough Will Rise Again is full of delicious recipes that will not only make your mouth water, but provide simple-to-follow steps that help you create these meals at home.  From appetizers to main courses to desserts, there is bound to be a recipe that will fit your needs & wants.

What I love most about this blog, and others out there like it, is that it's not written by paid chefs, but every day people who just love food.  I don't feel like I'm going to have to search for an ingredient or tool that I've never heard of, but rather use what I already have in my own kitchen.  A big plus for someone who works full time and isn't spending her days in the kitchen {although that would be nice :)}.

I'm still working my way through several of the starred recipes, but from the ones I've tried, I know that the others are going to be just as good.  If you're looking for meal ideas written by two women who love to cook, check out The Dough Will Rise Again and start tasting your way through.

A few of the recipes currently making me hungry include:
Jalapeno Bacon Cheeseburger on Pretzel Rolls
Honey BBQ Meatloaf
Devil's Food Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream
Soft Pretzels
