Whole and Happy Food another wonderful food blog. I love her Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies.

Fae’s Twist & Tango a lovely blog about world cultures, travel, and recipes. I plan to veganize her Blueberry Cake one of these days.

I’m in love with the blog, The ex-sugarholic, for her amazing yet healthful recipes. You simply must try her Choccy Treat Balls!

Poppy’s Patisserie/Bunny Kitchen is home of the fabulous animal lover, passionate baker and super cool chica, Poppy. Check out her Possibly the World’s Healthiest Chocolate Cake.

Simply Vegetarian 777 is another one of my favorite food blogs. I still haven’t tried Sonal’s Eggless Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies, but they look fantastic!

Sugarfree Sweetheart is the creative home of Priya who illustrates her delicious, diabetic recipes. Take a look at her Pongal post.

Eat, Pray, Bake is yet another fabulous food blog. Her Wonder BonBons look, well – wonderful!

 Ajaytao is a cancer survivor who now inspires people with inspirational tidbits and stunning photos. I love his Flight in Motion – Reflection photo.

Jacinta-Yoga is one of the several yoga blogs I follow, but even if you don’t do yoga you’ll find inspiration here. Her Honoring the Truth post that speaks to all of us.

Lori Leigh Wilson is a mom who encourages her family to follow a plant-based diet. She writes lots of fun and helpful posts like Getting Vegucated.

The Wee Rabbit is a blog that serves as a much-needed voice for animals. I’m partial to her post, On Horse Racing.

And last but certainly not least is Applecore where my blogger buddy, Mike, posts about his life as a 6-monther. Not someone who only has 6 months to live, heaven forbid, but someone who moves to a new country every six months. I know you’ll love his latest post, Picturesque Pitlochry, or How Scotch is Made.
