Hour 1 – 11:00 AM – 12:00PM

And we're off! Blogapalooza has officially started and I can't wait to see what you all write about.

Thinking about what I'd write for the first post for our blogging marathon, I immediately thought about what a marathon runner would do the night before a big run: carbo-loading. And thanks to the wonders of the internet, I now know more about carbo-loading than I probably ever will need in real life.

So if runners eat lots of carbs in the few days before a marathon, what do bloggers do the night before a blogging marathon? Naturally they (or maybe just me) look at a lot of delicious posts from a couple food blogs.

Proud Italian Cook – Yes, she has a giveaway going on for us right now. But more importantly she has tons of seriously delicious recipes - like homemade ravioli or zucchini tomato gratin. I'll gladly eat vicariously through her posts.

Smitten Kitchen – One of my personal favorites. If only everything that came out of my kitchen looked so good! This chocolate cake is probably not something you want to eat before running, but definitely something you’d want to look at before a blogging marathon.

Only two of the many delicious looking food blogs out there (I’m sure you have your own favorites).

1 hour down and 23 hours left of Blogapalooza!
