Noble Pig: http://www.noblepig.com/

This is one of my all-time favorite blogs, self described as, "...a little about food... a little about wine... and a lot about nothing." The Noble Pig is a fun, charming, well-written blog by Cathy, a vineyard and winery owner from McMinnville, Oregon. She is a passionate foodie and it shows in her writing. Cathy shares a lot of wonderful recipes and always includes step by step photos which I love. Her blog is simply fun to read. Some of my favorite recipes I've prepared have come from this blog.
