ugh... Chocolate Bacon Almond Butter Bananas should not be considered 'healthy' by any stretch of the imagination.
Congratulations to the winners!
Congratulations to the winners, but this paleo trend needs to DIAF.
Delighted to see Jenny Komenda get this kind of recognition. By example and excellent tutorials, she and her blog present an encouraging "yes" to the question so many DIYers ask: "Can I really do this myself?" (BTW, my style rarely tracks hers, but I check her blog daily for creative ideas, how-tos, interesting color combinations, and the pleasure of her blogging "voice.")
You GO Jenny! What a pleasure to see you win.
Congratulations!!!
Thanks you guys! And a big thanks to Apartment Therapy. The Homies are such a great way to find out about new blogs. I've added several to my reader after clicking through the nominations list!
Thanks again for your votes and support!

Jenny
Yay Jenny! :D
Congrats, LGN! Yay!
Hooray for Little Green Notebook!! One of the very few transplant New Yorker bloggers' that doesn't make this Native New Yorker want to simultaneously claw out my eyes and cry. Real DIY projects on REAL budgets from a person with a REAL voice. (Although I'll never have her mad DIY skills).
Congratulations, Jenny!
I love that the paleosphere had so much presence in this year's Homies! Paleo thinking and writing has improved my life so much in the past year and a half or so—mostly because it's expanded my sense of what's healthy and meaningful and essential about food and cooking (and exercise, too!). Thanks so much, paleo bloggers.
What is paleo in terms of design and blogging?
Yay for Jenny! I read her blog on the daily and it's always fun.
erm, had to look up DIAF on urban dictionary... but I'm so thrilled that George won best healthy food blog! His recipes are ALWAYS amazing. Love!
So happy to see Jenny from LGN win. A well-deserved win and recognition.
I read LGN every day. I may not always agree with her paint color choices or frequent use of the word "super," but she's accessible and friendly and doesn't mind sharing.
So excited to see a Paleo presence! I have been on Paleo for about 6 weeks and I've literally never felt better in my life. I'm stronger and healthier than I've been in a while and I started CrossFit yesterday. Yay Paleo!
Congratulations Ginny!

Congrats to Jenny! I have loved her blog for a couple of years now. Her taste is meticulous and she has mastered the art of mixing high and low. Her tasteful DIY projects are always executed thoroughly. My faith in the Homies has been restored!
I am with Mary Beth in congratulating Ginny!
It is a great place to spend a few minutes.
Yay!! Jenny!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Well deserved!!!!!
Another Paleo hurrah from me! Glad to see them represented! A year ago I had just started Paleo, now it's so familiar and comfortable for me - thanks to some highly skilled and generous bloggers!
Congratulations to all the winners! Love, love, love Jenny's blog.
A huge congrats to all the winners. Know that all your hard work and effort has paid off and you are not going unnoticed! All these wonderful bloggers have been an inspiration to me and my own work and you all deserve a big virtual high five!
Thanks, Mary Beth!
Thank you!
I've been reading Small Things for the last couple of years and I love it. I read it every weekend. It is so calming and really takes one out of the rat race most of us live in and focuses on the important things in life.
Congrats to you Ginny!
Thanks for introducing me to Little Green Notebook, my new favourite blog! Congratulations to all the winners!
Terrific paleo blog! Congrats! Awesome creative healthy recipes! Can't praise the paleo way of life enough! It truly changed my health and well-being.
Oh I adore small things! I am thrilled to see such a sweet and humble blog win. Ginny's photos are stunning and her words sincere. I visit them often.
