With so many food blogs online and new ones popping up everyday, sometimes it’s hard to sift through them all to find a true, honest to goodness, quality food site.

Are you looking for someone who is posting whole food recipes which have actually been made with their own hands?

Someone who is also so skilled in their craft and photography, that you just want to run to your kitchen to make whatever has been posted that day?

Valentina describes her blog as “cooking creative, comforting food for casual entertaining.” However, I’ll tell you, it’s so much more than that!  I am constantly in awe of her talents (check out her photos.)

I do not know how she cranks out so many delicious recipes, while also wearing many other hats. (She’s a mom of two young boys. That’s an overtime job in itself!)

Here is an example of one of her delicious dishes~

Lastly, you won’t just find Valentina posting on her blog because she’s a contributor to many other sites, like PopSugar, and has had her recipes featured in the Huffington Post, The Kitchn and PBS Food, just to name a few.
