Who doesn't love to surf the net?? my favorite ones relate to travel, food, travel and more food...
www.spottedbylocals.com − LOVE this site - I don't travel anywhere in Europe without checking out this site. Its been a huge help for me even in Budapest If you want to experience European cities like locals then this is the site for you. It was started by a couple in Netherlands (Sanne and Bart van Poll) and in their own words "Spotted by Locals is a series of blogs, PDF city guides and iPhone apps with up-to-date tips by handpicked local bloggers in 33 cities in Europe."
www.mrandmrssmith.com − Boutique and Luxury Booking Specialists. At first glance, you think they only list high-end hotels but once you start exploring the site they do have some great options. You can explore hotels by categories (i.e., child-friendly, budget boutique hotels, spa stays, honeymoons etc). We booked our stay in Barcelona last year through this site and loved it!
www.travel.nytimes.com − what is there to not like about this site? I especially love the 36 hours column. Such a handy column for short trips.
The next three sites are all related to food. My love for food started late in life...I was always a very picky eater and to some extent I still am where meats are concerned. However, in my late 20s, I discovered my love for food and my husband (then boyfriend). Shawn is a big foodie and throughout our dating years we ate out most days but made it a point to cook at least twice a month (these were elaborate 3/4 course meals.) I absolutely enjoy finding new restaurants, recipes and trying out various cuisines. And so started my love affair(s).
www.allrecipes.com − For most of my everyday cooking, I refer to this site. To my surprise, the recipes I have used from this site have never been bad.
www.tablespoon.com − I recently came across this site and fell in love with it. Its very well laid out and among its many features, the site can recommend recipes to suit your palette.
www.goodlifeeats.com − Again a well-laid out site and through their recipe index, you can find recipes you like easily.
