Tinned Tomatoes Blog - Tots100 #3

The next blog on the Tots100 list is Tinned Tomatoes. Jacqueline has been writing her blog since 2007 and has been cooking and baking for the last 24 years. She is self taught and specializes in vegetarian recipes. There is something for everyone here so read on...
There is a lot of information on this blog. Initially I couldn't work out the layout so it looked a bit crazy but I soon got the hang of it. The first thing to strike me is the huge list of recipe categories in drop down boxes, its is phenomenal! (I've just counted and there are 23 boxes, each with at least 10 recipes on!) I would honestly be amazed if you can't find a single recipe on here that you don't go crazy for. 

There are pages for "Little Tums". Jacqueline has another blog for babies and childrens recipes. The recipes on this blog are family friendly. I fully intend to utilise her knowledge as Squish is onto solids in a BIG way!
The first post on this blog is a photo step by step recipe for cheese scones - Yum! I digress....

The Food Blog DiaryThe next page is about The Food Blog Diary. Yes, this lady successfully manages three blogs! This one is co-hosted with three other bloggers. Here is where you will find food challenges, giveaways and competitions.

Back to Tinned Tomatoes....
There are so many delicious photos of tasty delights on here that I am finding it quite distracting!
See What I Mean?!
There are so many different recipes. There is also a monthly challenge called No Croutons Required. You are invited to link up a vegetarian recipe for a soup or a salad. There may be a theme to follow, but that will change monthly. As there are recipes from all over the world I'm sure there is something you haven't tried before. There are also drop down boxes for all the entries and the winner of each month since Feb '08 so you wont miss out! 

The other monthly challenge is called Bookmarked Recipes. Dig out some of those recipes you found in books or magazines that you really liked, cook it up and write a post about it. Again, an opportunity for hundreds of new ideas.

There are also helpful "How To" posts to link to. There is a list of 25 cookbook reviews to read through if you are stuck for choice and also some Fiction books which include food! This is a fantastic blog that I'm sure will meet all your vegetarian culinary requirements! So pop on over and have a browse.
