Blogging, lately

I used to love reading blogs for inspiration and recipes. There were always new ideas posted frequently. But it seems like many bloggers are getting too wrapped up in give-aways, their sponsored trips and the product IN their recipes instead of the product OF their recipes. Maybe I'm just jealous... I just don't wanna see blatant product placement whereever I go. I HAVE found lots of new baking blogs though, by amateurs who all make AMAZING cookie creations. They are now, one by one, replacing the original blogs I used to love.
