I love it when people include their web address in their comments. I discover great blogs that way! This week I share with you some blogs I have recently stumbled upon.

28 Cooks shares a recipe for Polenta Crackers that looks easy and infinitely adaptable.

Over at Is it EDible? I found a picture of a vanilla bean orchid. The Pacific Orchid Expo is this weekend in San Francisco, and today is the last day to check it out in person.

At Albion Cooks, check out that hearty looking Chickpea and Kale Soup, perfect for this chilly weather and a great way to use Winter vegetables.

Finally from a blog I already know and love, Life's a Picnic makes an investment in groceries and discovers another way to get dinner on the table with "Week of Dinners". A local chef works with you to create seven dinners a week that feed 4-6 people. Cool idea and at a very reasonable price.
