If you missed the first two rounds of Favorite Food Blog Finds, be sure to check them out. The first round can be found here. For part two, click here. This round contains some rockin’ recipes, as well as a great, informative post about Petite Sirah.

Alice’s Sour Cream Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
If I had to describe this bread in one word, I’d choose: Heaven. Seriously, it’s out of this world full of ooey, gooey chocolate and banana goodness. I’m a devout zucchini bread girl, but after baking this, I might just have to switch teams. Thanks to Savory Sweet Life for this recipe!

Pierce Street Vegetarian Chili
Thick and hearty and full of healthy ingredients, this vegetarian chili recipe from 101 Cookbooks is delicious! Like Heidi says, it makes a TON! So make sure you’re hungry when you pull out the pots and pans!

Red Pesto Ravioli
Swoon! Sundried tomatoes are one of my all-time favorite ingredients, so when I spotted this recipe from 101 Cookbooks, I immediately knew I’d love it. And I did! Despite not having goat cheese, the flavors are outstanding. That pinch of red pepper flakes really takes this recipe to another level.

Gingersnap Cookies
These addicting cookies have endless possibilities. Eat them as they are, make ice cream sandwiches with them, or cookie-cream sandwiches, or use them in lieu of graham crackers when making s’mores. One of the best things about them is you can make extra dough and leave it in the freezer until you’re ready for another batch!

If I want a little Syrah should I order a Petite Sirah?
I’m currently infatuated with Petite Sirah, so I was excited when Joe from Another Wine Blog posted about the differences between Syrah and Petite Sirah. Here’s a quote: “Petite Syrah, on the other hand, makes huge, powerful wines that have a color almost as dark and impervious to light as ink. Despite having some of the same fruit flavors as Syrah, Petite Sirah tends to be more acidic with huge tannins, making them very age worthy in many cases.”

Last time in Favorite Food Blog Finds, I pimped fabulous cast iron grilled Chicken Fajitas, uber tasty Chile Verde, gorgeous Swiss Chard and Ravioli Salad, the best Popcorn ever, and the ultimate Pizza Dough. For those recipes, click here. This time around, I’ve got five more finds for you. Check them out.

Pesto Bread
I love fresh bread, and fresh bread studded with garlic and basil is way too good. My husband and I nearly ate the whole loaf in an hour! The best part about this recipe? You can throw all of the ingredients into your Bread Machine and press start. Easy and delicious gets high marks from me! Thanks to I Found Happy for this recipe.

Tom Yum Soup
This delicious soup from The Vagrant Epicure is hopelessly addicting. I hope the blogmaster returns soon. I enjoyed his adventures and cooking, and this recipe will be a favorite around my house for a long time to come.

Basil Lime Shrimp with Plantains
I’ve blogged about this recipe before. More than once, in fact. It even inspired me to interview Melissa from Bitchin Camero. Needless to say, I’m smitten with the combination of Thai red curry sauce, shrimp, and baked plantains. Swoon! Just make sure your plantains are overripe!

Coconut Cupcakes with Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Though separate recipes from Coconut and Lime, when you put these two together, you will have cupcakes to die for. Seriously. I’m not a big sweet person, and I hate to bake, but I love, love, love these cupcakes with this frosting. I do add more key lime juice, but I like things tart…

“Julius” style Mango Orange Smoothie
Thanks to Amy from Cooking with Amy for showing the world how to get thick and tasty smoothies like they make at Orange Julius. These smoothies changed my husband’s mind about putting fruit and juice and other goodies into a blender…
