For those of you who appreciate true nutrition, science and the beauty of unprocessed foods, Nutrition Stripped is the blog for you. The author, McKel, shares her passion for clean living with 100% vegan and gluten free recipes. Rather then “skinny recipes,” McKel, a registered dietitian, hones in on health. Don’t let this deter you though. Her smoothie bowls are to die for, and her creativity and ability to incorporate everyday and obscure ingredients reaches far beyond kale salad. Oh, and did I mention the beautiful photos?

While browsing Local Milk, I feel as if I am curled by the fire, pondering philosophical inquiries while simultaneously engrossed in stunning photography of gourmet eats. Beth beautifully weaves personal experiences and her inherent talent for creative writing with recipes and personal musings on delicious cuisine.

Simplicity. That’s what we all really want in life, right? The Minimalist Baker, written by a suave couple, presents easy recipes for all things sweet, as well as main dishes and sides. John and Dana keep it simple in terms of ingredients, steps, and tools to minimize the potential mess we all tend to make when we make insane recipes. After scrolling through the lengthy recipe archives, I can honestly say the options are incredibly appealing and crafted with a health-conscious mind.

Gourmet comfort food made with love in a tiny 42 square-foot NYC kitchen. What am I so smitten with? The breadth of recipe categories (quiche, stew, Jewish, Russian, wedding cake, the list goes on and on).
