Hungry for some kitchen inspiration? In our Top 100 Mom Food Blog feature, we scoured the web to find the most family-friendly and palate-pleasing recipes out there. These mamas can work a day job, take care of the kids and have dinner on the table on time. The best part? We get an inside look at how it all comes together on their blogs. But were not stopping there; now were grilling them (pun intended) each month for their favorite dishes, cooking secrets, and failproof tips in our Food Blogger Bitesseries.
This month, we asked the Top 100 what their all-time favorite recipe was. As you can imagine, it was hard for them to choose just one but the results are delicious. Find out their picks after the jump!
- Baked Butter BeansIt's a simple dish thatuses up pantry staples and is bursting with flavor. I've been making it for yearsand it has now become one of our weekly family meals. Every time I eat it I amstill amazed by how much I love it.
Get the recipe on My Darling Lemon Thyme - CheesecakeThat's kind of like choosing children, but one of my very favorite recipes is my favorite cheesecake. It's a kind of kitschy, unusual (crustless!) cheesecake recipe that was one of the few things my mom would make when I was growing up. It's one of my first memories of dessert.
Get the recipe at Piece of Cake - Gnocchi alla SorrentinaI only post about the food I love, so it is very hard to choose! Gnocchi alla sorrentina is a traditional recipe ofSorrento and it is to die for. Who could resist some pillowy soft potato gnocchibaked with tomato sauce, basil and lots of stretchy mozzarella?
Get the recipe at Manu's Menu - Tomato Basil Parmesan SoupI have so many favorites, it's hard to pick just one. Do you pick the one that is themost time-efficient, the one that takes a while to make but tastes perfect or the oneyou make the most because your family requests it? I'll pick a hybrid of all threeof those the tomato basil parmesan soup. It is so delicious and my most popularrecipe as well.
Get the recipe at 365 Days of Slow Cooking - White Chicken PizzaBeing a lover of all things edible, its always difficult tochoose a favorite. If I had to pick just one, it would have to be the white chickenpizza. Theres just something so reliably delectable about a well-constructed, palate-pleasing pie. It never fails to get my tastebuds singing!
Get the recipe at Mommie Cooks - Green Tea Ice CreamI love ice cream and green tea is my favorite. My recipeproduces the flavor that is really close to what we can buy in Japan. Finding thegood quality matcha green tea powder is very important for the best result in makinggreen tea ice cream.
Get the recipe at Just One Cookbook - Bread Machine Flax Pizza DoughLately my favorite recipe is bread machine flax pizza dough. I make homemade pizza a lot because its so versatile and I can use whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand. The kids love to help make pizza, so its a great way to get them involved with cooking. This particular dough is my favorite because all I have to do is toss theingredients in my bread machine and 2 hours later I have a lovely and healthy pizzadough waiting for me. It freezes well too.
Get the recipe at Food and Whine - Oatmeal Creme PiesMy oatmeal creme pies, reminiscent of the individually wrapped Little Debbie onesI grew up loving. They are also one of my most requested recipes on my blog andPinterest.
Get the recipe at Food Allergy Mama - Panna Cotta with Summer Peaches & Grand MarnierI'll go with my current favorite, which is my panna cottawith summer peaches and grand marnier. The reason it's my favorite is because itencompasses who I am as a chef; I love upscale dishes & desserts that take very little effort yet are elegant and sophisticated. You know, the kind that people oooh andaaah over and only you know how easy it really is!
Get the recipe at The Wicked Noodle - Rhubarb Lavender JamIn the summer I am all about naptime canning! Some of my favorites are rhubarb lavender jam and eternal summer apricot jam.
Get the recipe at The Naptime Chef - Rick's Rich Jam MuffinsSangria, because, umm, it's sangria. But the one I use mostoften is probably Rick's rich jam muffins so easy to whip up and a great way toget some more fruit into my daughter's belly.
Get the recipe at Prudent Baby - SannaThis, my mother's recipe, has gained popularity on my blog because a lot ofreaders have tried and loved it. They (similar to the morepopular "idli") are a perfect accompaniment to many non-vegetarian dishes andare a much-loved bread among people of all ages. Each time I bite into one, I amreminded of my happy and carefree childhood days when my mum used to make themin huge quantities, especially on festive occasions like Christmas and Easter.
Get the recipe at Ruchik Randhap, Delicious Cooking - Sourdough Focaccia with Grapes and RosemaryI love theway the inky, musky flavor of the grapes pairs with rosemary's floral notes, and thatsweetness is a nice foil to the rustic sourness of the focaccia.
Get the recipe at Nourished Kitchen - Lemon Icebox CakeDo you remember the scene in Castaway where Tom Hanks finally gets that sparkgoing, stands in front of the blaze and bellows, "FIRE!"? My lemon icebox cakeis that scene for me. That recipe pushed me way out of my comfort zone. After Ifinished making the cake and it was in the refrigerator, I promised myself I wouldnever make it again. Then I ate it and threw that promise out the window. Every inchof my kitchen was a mess, but it was so worth it. Best cake I've ever eaten, and yes, Iwill make it again.
Get the recipe at Taking on Magazines - Triple Pink CupcakesMy answer would probably change depending on which day or even time of dayyou asked! Hard to make a foodie select just ONE favorite, but my triple-pink cupcakeshover near the top of the list. Red velvet cake is my favorite, and this recipe wasperfected for my daughter's birthday party. I will never forget the look on her facewhen she saw these cupcakes!
Get the recipe at Whipped - Creamy Cheesy PotatoesWhen I was younger, we would devour these very quickly at the dinner table. If there were any leftovers, we would fight for them! These potatoes make a great side dish, but if you need a main dish, simply brown chicken breasts and nestle them in between the potatoes. Browned pork chops, or thick slices of ham are also very good. Then you have a full meal, thats simple, easy and delicious.
