Butteryum food blog recipes

7 links

Patricia @ ButterYum

Christiane (aka The Mom Chef) from the blog Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time nominated me to participate in the 7 Links blog thing that's been going around the blogosphere.  Have you visited her blog?  I clip and save magazine recipes... lots of recipes... never seem to do anything with them, but The Mom Chef actually manages to make the recipes and blog about them with a unique style and whit that I love.  Wonderful blog - and I so enjoy reading about her 5 year old spitfire "Dudette".

Okay, back to the 7 links assignment.  I'm supposed to share 7 links to posts on my blog that best fit the criteria given, then nominate 7 additional bloggers to do the same - both aspects of the assignment will be hard for me... how do you pick only one post for each subject???  That's like being asked to pick a favorite kid - Sigh.  Also, which bloggers do I choose to pass this task on to - they'll either love me or hate me for doing so.  Please try to find it in your heart to forgive me if you fall into the later group ;). Okay, here we go.

Most Beautiful Post - It’s a tie between Quick Lemon Mousse or Mixed Berries with Double Vanilla Creme Anglaise.


Most Popular Post - To Die For Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting

Well deserved for such a fantastically easy, yet madly delicious cake.  It was featured on The Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen website, so that might have helped propel it's popularity a bit - ya think?  My Vanilla Nut Bars get an honorable mention - tons of comments on them.


Most Controversial Post - Tres Leches Cake

Controversial not because of the post's content, but because of the internal conflict I felt after baking, tasting, and rating the recipe in the post.  You see, I've been a huge fan of the recipe's author for decades, and her recipes never failed me - until this cake.  It looks great, but that's really the only good thing I can say about it.  Needless to say, I will to be posting a link to the recipe.


Most Helpful Post - 10 Secrets to Making Pizzeria Quality Pizza at Home

After more than 20 years of tweaking, I've got amazing homemade pizza down to a science.   


Post Whose Success Most Surprised You - How To Make Candied Lemon Slices

This post has been on my blog’s Top 10 list for years.  I totally don't get it, but okay, whatever.  By the way, I broke one of food photography's cardinal rules when shooting this lemon slice by using the flash on my camera!


Post You Feel Didn't Get The Attention It Deserved - Mini Pecan Tarts with Mascarpone Frosting and Glazed Pecans 

This is a recipe I created for a guest blogging gig on a wildly popular blog (like over 9,000 blogger followers and over 15,000 facebook fans popular - okay, it wasn't quite that popular in 2009, but it was still huge).  Anyway, there was some miscommunication of some sort and my post was never published.  An apology was offered and a second invitation was extended for me to share a cookie post, but that one was never published either.  I don't know what happened, but life goes on.


Post You Are Most Proud Of - Homemade Italian Chicken Noodle Soup 

I know this is a weird one to choose as the post I'm most proud of, especially since I like to make wedding cakes, but this soup is something my family requests whenever they're feeling a bit under the weather.  It warms my heart to know how much they enjoy and find comfort in a steamy hot bowl, and the fact that it helps them feel better... well, for me, it's the icing on the cake.

Now for the list of wonderful bloggers I'd like to pass this assignment on to.  Have fun visiting their wonderful blogs.
