Shout Out Saturday!

A lot of things have been cooking in the Purple Door Kitchen lately.
A new set of desserts aer going to make their debut at a teacher's lunch on the 30th, a chocolate cake was made for a friend's birthday, plans for a website makeover are also underway, and could it be that I am actually bunkering down and creating a menu of available baked goods for future customers? (Yeah!)
But today I am going to focus on someone really awesome. I love reading food blogs, food websites, food books, food magazines, food anything! One of the great and inspiring selections of awesome that I keep track of is http://www.ifyoucanmakethatyoucanmakethis.com

There are three reasons this is worthy of the title: Coolest Ever
1. The recipes are actually really tasty! And original...this isn't "And then, I baked chocolate chip cookies and took pictures of them, and then posted em on the interwebz!" level stuff.
2. She draws all of her own illustrations for the blog posts! Little colored pencil sketches of wine, strawberries, and other fresh ingredients are really cute, and very well done. An artist in more than one way...
3. The stories and entries she posts along with the recipes are funny and witty. It would be fun to read even if you didn't get a tasty recipe at the end.

So head on over! This week has some good tips on Mussels if you are a seafood fan.
