1st of the month featured blogger: july
Mom’s still here and we’re busy enjoying the fabulous weather and company, but I haven’t forgotten about you!
There won’t be a What’s Cooking Wednesday recipe from me today, but I am combining two regular Bleeding Espresso features, keeping your potential WCW cravings in mind. Remember you can always find all my recipes here and be sure to check out everyone else’s WCW recipes at Shan’s place.
So, July’s 1st of the Month Featured Blogger (a day late, sorry) is
Jenn DiPiazza, The Leftover Queen!
Look at that gorgeous, smiling face!
If you can’t tell from the photo, Jenn recently got married (check out her and Roberto‘s wedding story here) and she is truly the foodie of all foodies–as well she should be as creator and keeper of The Foodie Blogroll.
Jenn is one of the very first blogging buddies I made, our bond based on Calabrian heritage, loving Italian men (only one each, of course!), bites from the travel bug and food of all kinds, from all cultures.
As a professional food and travel writer, Jenn describes all of the above topics lyrically and beautifully at both The Leftover Queen and Jenn’s Travel Close Up–and lucky her (and us!), hubby Roberto takes fabulous photos to boot!
Aside from keeping up The Foodie Blogroll and sharing fabulous recipes and travel reviews, Jenn also runs a monthly Royal Foodie Joust competition through her site’s forum. Participants are given just a few ingredients to work with, and wow, the things they come up with. I haven’t played along yet, but one of these months I’ll be there Jenn, I promise!
So please do go say hello to Jenn at The Leftover Queen
and Jenn’s Travel Close Up
and also?
