1.) The Picky Eater Blog really stuck out to me. Anjali, the creator of this site, started her blog after marrying her husband who's eating habits were the complete opposite of hers. She grew up eating healthy and watching what she put into her body while her husband grew up eating all junk food. This blog talks about how to find a compromise when cooking for two completely different types of eaters. The nice thing about this blog is that it is geared towards many different people including picky eaters, health freaks, children, and adults. One aspect of this blog that I really enjoyed was the weekly meal plan guide. Anjali provides 7 full week meal plans that makes it easy for someone who is not used to eating healhty figures out to eat for the next couple weeks. I also really like how this blog is designed and set up. It is pleasing to the eye and is very easy to navigate. Overall, this is a very well done blog that I myself have already started to check daily.
2.) One of my go to blogs for everything is The Huffington Post. This blog that I found called "10 Healthy Food Blogs That Makes Eating Well Extremely Easy" is very unique. This blogger found 10 other blogs about healthy eating and made them very accessable by putting them all into one blog and giving a little explaination about each. This is a great blog for people who don't normally eat healthy and don't really know where to begin. This blog has a very simple set up so everything is all right there. All the blogs are hyper linked making it fast and easy to find them. The great thing about blogs on the Huffington Post is that when your done reading one blog, at the bottom of the page it gives you suggestions for other blogs that are similar to the one you just read!
3.) Here is another blog I found on The Huffington Post that I found to be very well done. This blog is an easy read, not too long, not too short. "Want To Eat Healthy But Hate Eating Healthy Food?" points out many of the reasons people don't like eating healthy and then gives compromises to those reasons. The one thing I don't like about this particular blog post is that while it gives solutions to the problems it presents, the solutions aren't very specific, but more general. This may be fine for people that have a basic understanding of healthy eating, but for someone who is just starting, I feel as though this blog wouldn't give them much help, although I do believe it's a good start and has some great tips!

4.) A Sweet Pea Chef was one of my favorite blogs that I stumbled upon. This blog is very similar to what I'm going for in my blog. It talks about healthy food replacements, gives recipes, and gives tips for easing into a diet change. I liked how each recipe was accompanied by a picture of the dish so you knew what it should look like if you were trying to make it on your own. One thing that is very different and cool about this blog is that it has a tab called "blogging tips." In addtion to learning about healthy eating, you can also learn how to make your own blog. I like this because it can encourage people to start their own blogs and track their own journey and write about their own experiences.
5.) I really enjoyed reading this Vegetable Haters blog on NerdFitness. I related to this blog on a "whole nother level," and I think many other people can relate to it as well. This blogger talked about his journey to liking vegetables. His whole life he never ate vegetables because he hated them, even though he had never tried most of them. Once he turned 22 he decided it was time to grow up and finally learn to like vegetables. This blog post gives great tips on how to make vegetables taste better and how to wean your way into eating them. In addition, you can sign up for fitness courses and training through the site, and the site also provides dozens of success stories for a little extra motivation.
6.) The Dr. Lauretta Ihonor blog is a very different blog from most of the blogs that I have found. Dr. Lauretta blogs not only about how to eat healthy, what to eat, etc., but she blogs about her own experiences, as a qualifed medical doctor and nutrition expert, helping others. She is based out of the London area, and meets up with people who are looking to start eating better. She comes with them to their local grocery store and helps them shop for the right foods. Another really cool part about this blog is that you can also read about peoples experiences with their new diet, as their is a part of the blog where people write about their experiences. This is a neat idea becuase people can talk to eachother about their journey and create a kind of support system.
7.) This blog post on LifeHacker was a pretty interesting read. It talks about different ways to mix different foods together and different ways to prepare many different dishes. Personally, I did not think this blog was the most interesting thing to read, but it got it's point across. In addition, for the purposes that I would be using this blog for, I do not think it is very helpful, in the fact that this blog doesn't really have much to offer. It focuses on that one aspect and no where else on this blog does it talk about anything else. One positive although about this blog is that there are numerous hyperlinks to different food and fitness websites.
8.) Millie Lifestyle & Wellness blog took a much different approach to become a healthy eater than most of the other blogs did. Unlike most blogs which suggest not completely taking all "bad" foods out of your life, this blogger encourages you to do so. She talks about how all those processed foods have such a strong and unique taste that when you try something healthy your taste buds don't like it making you hate healthy foods. This blogger talks about detoxing your body of all the bad stuff and starting fresh in a sense. She also gives a list of "coping mechanisms" for people struggling with this detox. Overall, I like the way this blog is set up, and I also like that you can buy different cleanses directly from the site.
9.) The Picky Eater: A Healthy Food Blog is run by the same blogger of The Picky Eater Blog. This blog is slightly different from her other blog in that indtead of strictly being a healthy eating blog, it's more of a lifestyle/food journal blog with a focus on health. I like that this blog has a blogroll on the left hand side making it easy to find other blogs similar to this one. A fun fact about this blog is that out of 256 blogs nominated, this blog made the top 10!
10.) The Super Healthy Kids blog is a little different from the rest of the blogs I found. This blog is geared more towards parents of children who are picky eaters. It gives a lot of tips on how to get kids to try new foods and provides a lot of ways to make healthy foods more kid friendly and how to find kid friendly foods. It also provides courses that parents can take in oder to become more knowledgable and gain new ideas and insights. I really like this blog and I think it is a great place for parents to go to.
