50 Best Mom Food Bloggers

Doesn't parenthood sometimes seem like one long cook-a-thon? You've just cleared the breakfast plate and the cries for mid-morning yogurt drink are already coming your way. And what are you making for lunch? Help!

Wouldn't it be nice if there were other moms who knew how you feel, understood how hard it is to try to get your kids to eat at all, much less feed them nutritious and easy to prepare meals? Who shared their funny stories, their insights, their juggling-act tips, and, most importantly, their recipes? top100-button.jpg

As you probably already know, there are such moms, and they're godsends to the rest of us. Food-blogger moms somehow manage to put food on their tables and tell us about it. They give us ideas, save us time, and let us know that we're not the only ones whose kids won't eat anything if it's not lodged in a pancake.

For Babble's first annual Top 50 Best Food-blogging Moms, we compiled our favorites of these superhero moms. No matter what angle they are taking - from organic eating, to cake-baking artistry, to pioneering on the range - they all know that whatever goes on those kids' plates is more than calories to get them across the monkey bars. It's health and nutrition, environmental awareness - it's family, it's love.

The Babble staff and contributors picked these fifty because each demonstrated excellence in voice, photography, design, or all three. We hope you use them, learn from them, and love them as much as we do. - The Babble Editors

The Saucy Apron | Katy K.

Katy’s Rankings

Who:

Katy K.

Why We Love Her:

Because she’s experimenting with the medium visually in ways that no food blogger on this list does. The home page is a scroll of text (some handwritten) against a backdrop of the most inviting kitchen lined with hundreds of homey cookbooks and a KitchenAid mixer that screams domestic goddess. But more than that, we love her because she loves Julia (Child) and Jamie (Oliver), and is not afraid to call b.s. on modern parenting and the fetishizing of feeding. For instance, in her “kids” section she writes, “Seriously, I cringe every time I see a new mum chasing a kid with a ziploc bag of cheerios or grapes: let them play! Let them work up an appetite!” She also understands that her readers aren’t spending all day watching the Food Network or trolling farmer’s markets – next to a quinoa recipe, an info box titled “What the F&@K is quinoa?” Plus: Lots of good info on cooking for babies and toddlers.
