Last week I wrote about some of my favorite photography
related blogs, I hope the list was helpful to everyone. Photography is not my only interest, so, this
week, I thought I would note some of the blogs I regularly read that are not
photo related (though they often include some very nice images).
Today I’ll talk about blogs from some great writers
from metro Detroit.
I
enjoy cooking but I am not terribly creative at the
stove so I need ideas and recipes. One
great source is The Cultured Cook. Lisa
concentrates on healthy and affordable meals with an emphasis on taste and
flair. She presents recipes, book
reviews and articles about any food related theme. This is a great place to get a recipe or just
read about the importance of natural and locally grown foods. Go here to get ideas for your next meal.

What
to do, where to go.
A great place for suggestions is the Urbane Life Blog. Started as an attempt to create an on-line
community for a group of apartment building, the blog has become a source for
information and entertainment for a wider community. Written by a group of talented and diverse
contributors Urbane Life covers events, restaurants, life in the D and
occasionally, political issues.

Do
you travel in the Midwest? If so, Midwest Guest is a must read. Dominique writes about places to go, things
to do and music to hear. Whether it’s
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio or other points in the Midwest, this is
the place to check it out. Here you can
get great ideas for B&Bs, hiking trails, lighthouses and music
festivals. Before taking a trip to the Midwest
be sure to check out Midwest Guest.

Last but not least is Detroit Moxie, a blog about Detroit written with such love and
enthusiasm that you will want to come back time after time. Becks grew up in metro Detroit and has
recently returned after a stint living in England. Becks writes about events and places but the
best articles are about her deep love of Detroit and its people. She presents the metro area as vibrant,
exciting and cool. All of us who live
here thank Becks for reminding us how great this town is.
