Thursday thanks x 2

Last week, despite waxing poetic about how happy I was after a long run + cupcakes, I didn't "officially" post a Thursday thanks. So this week I'm going to double down for: 2 x thanks.

#1 - Fresh produce and farmers markets:

Root vegetables at the downtown San Diego farmers market.

Locally-grown avocados and citrus at the downtown San Diego farmers market.

Last week, on my lunch break, I picked up a couple of pounds of cherries and a pint of blueberries for an "afternoon snack."
Delicious!

#2 - Recipe blogs!
Now that school is over for the summer, I have (a little) more free time to play in the kitchen. Recipe blogs give me inspiration without wasting the paper or money that used to feed my cooking magazine addiction.

Cooking blogs I love (in no particular order):

• Smitten Kitchen
• Eat, Play, Love
• It's Not About the Recipe
• Budget Bytes

What are you thankful for right now?
Are there any other cooking (not baking!) blogs I should be following?
