Since I began my quest to broaden my foodie blog horizons, I’ve found myself veering off on way too many rabbit trails. But the great thing with rabbit trails is that they typically always lead to something new, exciting and/or awesome. Here are just a few of the new-to-me blogs I came across this week.

• Coffee and Vanilla – the name alone intrigued me. And the recipes didn’t disappoint either. There’s an eclectic mix of everything on this self-titled “Euro-Caribbean blog.”
• There are tons of family-friendly recipes just waiting to be turned into memories at Within The Kitchen.
• You’ll find a little bit of everything at Dishing Out the Good Stuff, including these awesome Waffled Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
• Next time I get the urge to make something a little out of the ordinary in my kitchen, I’ll take a look around Spache The Spatula. There are also some great recipes for more everyday kinds of things too. Fun stuff!
• I feel so at home scrolling through the recipes at Taste and Tell. And I love the Saturdays With Rachael Ray feature.

So, have your wanderings down rabbit trails led to anything good this week?

This week, I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the new-to-me food bloggers who join me on Babble’s list of the Top 50 Mom Food Bloggers. The list is full of so many great reads! I spent some time this week stopping in at all of the blogs and I definitely recommend them all. So, if you need a foodie fix, that list is a great place to find what you’re looking for.

Here are a few of the blogs that I’d never visited before but look forward to visiting on a regular basis.

• Big Red Kitchen is full of awesome, family-friendly recipes. I love her tie-dyed sugar cookie bars. They’re creative and beautiful, and I don’t know any kid that wouldn’t dig into them!
• Take your food blog reading global with Kayotic Kitchen for a wonderful assortment of recipes and tales from a Dutch mom.
• I’ve oohed and aahed and drooled over pictures of filled bento boxes and laptop lunches for a few years now. But never have I seen it look so easy or doable as at Lunchbox Limbo.
• The Wicked Noodle is filled with tons of great recipes and photos. But I am especially enamored with the Twisted Bacon. How cool is that?
• The photos…the family…the food. Everything comes to life at Under The Highchair. I couldn’t stop scrolling! And when I found this post – Top Ten Things To Expect When Dining With A Food Blogger – I instantly clicked the subscribe button. How could I not? She gets me!
