English Muffin French Toast and Non-Food Blogs

on April 7, 2009
in All Posts

Breakfast is BY FAR my favorite meal of the day.  Last night, I literally stared at the ceiling imagining this breakfast (not because I was hungry, just because I plan ahead). 🙂

I made English Muffin French Toast. That’s right, I dredged 1 and 1/2 English Muffins in egg batter and fried it up.  So delish!

Gah!! So good.  Worth all the fantasizing.

 

And a bowl of Chobani and fruit, a la Meghann.

Fruit included a banana and some grapes.

 

Non-Food Blogs

 

Obviously, I read a LOT of blogs (I probably read yours if you comment, I just don’t have an opportunity to do much commenting myself).   But in addition to the plethora of food blogs, I also read a lot of non-food blogs. 

 

My favorite non-food blogs:

 

 

Yes, I read a blog about dachshunds.  I can’t help it.  I love them.

    I totally read some Project Runway Blogs and talkingpoints, which is political news and commentary.

    But I’ve been investing MUCH more time in food blogs lately =)

  • Nicole (anotheronebitesthecrust.wordpress.com) April 7, 2009, 5:10 am

    Mmmm! That is such a fabulous idea.

    Besides food blogs, I read some political blogs, fashion blogs, and art blogs. Food blogs are my favorite though! I didn’t even know there were Twilight blogs! haha

  • RhodeyGirl/Sabrina April 7, 2009, 5:15 am

    I love me some perez, the pioneer woman, and twilight lexicon!! 😉

  • Carolina John April 7, 2009, 5:22 am

    i’m hooked on reading running blogs and triathlon blogs. my newest obsession has been Amber, a canadian college student who is incredibly interesting.

  • Life Coach Jen April 7, 2009, 5:30 am

    In the blog world people have been “french toasting” all sorts of foods I would have never thought of! Awesome, It does remind me of a guy who told me to make peanut butter and jelly french toast one time, though.

    Other blogs, dooce.com, I like Leslie Goldman’s blog on body image, http://www.neversaydiet.com/leslie goldman, and The Great Fitness Experiment http://thegreatfitnessexperiment.blogspot.com too. Mostly food and body image blogs!

  • Krista April 7, 2009, 5:39 am

    Funny…now that I think about it, I only read food/fitness blogs!!!

    Head over to my blog when you have a second…there’s an award waiting for you there!! 🙂

  • Betsy April 7, 2009, 5:44 am

    I laid in bed thinking about breakfast last night too! But because I was already mucho hungry…

    I like dooce.com, and my friends fashion blog: sarazucker.com, and http://whatiwore.tumblr.com/

  • Brandi April 7, 2009, 5:47 am

    Not sure if it’s considered a blog, but I LOVE thesuperficial.com

    It’s SO funny.

    Breakfast is my favorite meal, too. I should just eat breakfast meals all day long.

    such a heart wrenching story

  • Zesty Cook April 7, 2009, 5:58 am

    Your breakfast looks amazing!

  • seesaraheat April 7, 2009, 6:01 am

    Oh gosh, well I’m always checking “Cagewriter” which is a blog about MMA (mixed martial arts) because I’m a big UFC fan; then I look at my friends blogs who don’t write about food, haha.

  • Dori April 7, 2009, 6:05 am

    My friend’s friend is a spin teacher (she is coming to NY next week and I will be taking her classes, very excited!) and writes a great blog about spinning called http://spintastic.blogspot.com/

    I really like hearing the instructor’s perspective and learning more about my favorite workout!

  • Dori April 7, 2009, 6:07 am

    OH and YUM on the english muffin french toast! I want to make that! Maybe… with some pumpkin butter mixed in 🙂

  • Michelle April 7, 2009, 6:14 am

    Yummy brekky…I need to start looking forward to what I am going to eat. I am getting into a rut…grr.

    I LOVE the starting over at 24, it’s now on my firefox tab ‘daily blogs’ it’s refreshing to read from a guys perspective.

    My fav blog is :http://areservationforsix.blogspot.com/
    I don’t know why, cause I don’t have kids or a husband. However, she’s real and refreshing.

    Have a good day.

  • Lynne April 7, 2009, 6:18 am

    I just wanted to tell you that you got a shout out as favorite fitness blog over at mary.nonsociety.com.
    It’s a lifestyle blog based out of NYC and I was pleasantly surprised to see your blog mentioned when I checked it this morning. Congrats!

  • Haleigh April 7, 2009, 6:29 am

    What a fabulous breakfast!

  • Susan April 7, 2009, 6:39 am

    My favorite non-food blogs include:
    http://theunderweardrawer.blogspot.com/ (med student turned resident turned real doctor), http://crasspollination.blogspot.com/ (ER nurse with some hilarious stories), and of course the eight million running blogs I read, Frayed Laces included!

    I love that you read a dachshund blog!

    I really need to try English muffin french toast!

  • Bec April 7, 2009, 6:58 am

    perez, pinkisthenewblog, and some of my friends have non-food blogs which i obviously read!

  • Graze with Me April 7, 2009, 6:59 am

    The Skinny Website and Fitsugar are my favs. I guess they’re both body and/or health related but what can I say, my interests are closely linked.

  • tfh April 7, 2009, 7:02 am

    I could definitely eat brekkie three times a day, except then I wouldn’t get enough veggies…I will check out the blogs you mention. Even the dachshund one. 🙂

  • Niki April 7, 2009, 7:09 am

    Yum! Your breakfast looks great! I will definitely check out some of the blogs you listed!!

  • Rose April 7, 2009, 7:26 am

    There is this blog by Edith Zimmerman that is food-based but absolutely ridiculous. She is basically my inspiration for anything I do.

    I also read the Mental Floss blog because my friend writes for it. I love quirky facts – total nerd here.

  • balanceisbest April 7, 2009, 7:31 am

    yummy breakfast!

    I love…

    What I Wore
    Newlywedisms by Bryn
    Perez Hilton
    LookBook
    Just to name a few!

  • iowagirleats April 7, 2009, 7:50 am

    Love the Post Secret blog, and a blog started by the sister of one of my friends: http://youngsaroundtheworld.com/blog/

    A blog about their 18 month travel around the word – jealous much?!

  • Victoria April 7, 2009, 8:07 am

    I read Perez Hilton, and the Consumerist, and the political ticker at CNN.

    I have Perez Hilton too! Your english muffin french toast looks amazing.

  • HangryPants April 7, 2009, 8:37 am

    I don’t know if this counts as a blog, but it’s the popsuagr group of blogs. Fitsugar, yumsuagr, popsuagar, etc.

  • eatfabinnyc April 7, 2009, 8:44 am

    its a blog dedicated to showing celebrities with diff body shapes. surprisingly curvy beats out skinny in all the comments 🙂

  • Hallie April 7, 2009, 9:41 am

    What a great question! I love finding new blogs to read (although I already read so many!).

    I get my celeb updates from people.com’s RSS feed, and I read Get Rich Slowly, a personal finance blog written by a regular guy (not some wealthy economist). I also like blogs about bloggin (woah…) like SkinnyMinnyMedia (by Roni of Roni’s Weigh).

    I read a bunch of running blogs to learn about workouts and such. They have actually really made me a better run.

    P.S. Delicious breakfast!

  • Andrea of Care to Eat April 7, 2009, 10:50 am

    Caitlin – if you read this, email me back your address. I have a little something that I bought for a friend years ago but never gave her and I just realized it would be perfect for you!
    One blog that I read is so raunchy and funny – I love it and you probably would too:

  • Katie April 7, 2009, 10:58 am

  • Footprints and Fingertips April 7, 2009, 1:35 pm

    I absolutely love french toast and am totally going to try it with english muffins sometime thanks to this post. Those look delicious!

    I love reading A Cup of Jo and a lot of design blogs like that. You can get some really great home decorating ideas. Travel blogs are fun too.

  • sarah April 7, 2009, 4:15 pm

    another plug for the underwear drawer. michelle is brilliant! she inspired me to start my (also somewhat medical . . . though hybrid running/food) blog.

    i also love frayed laces, many other running blogs, LMNOP, the chloe conspiracy, and happy hour sue.

  • nibblesandwiggles April 7, 2009, 4:18 pm

  • Megan April 7, 2009, 6:32 pm

    MMM that english muffin french toast looks yummy! 😉

  • Rachel April 7, 2009, 8:45 pm

    This is late in coming, but I was reading over all the suggestions and I had to laugh at Hallie who mentioned “some wealthy economist”… my husband is an economist and believe me, Hallie, we are not wealthy 🙂

  • Kelvin April 8, 2009, 3:54 am
