Foodie Friday : Food Blog Spotlight : Cook, Mix, Mingle

UPDATE March 12, 2026: Hello! Thank you for visiting.  Apologies. This site no loner exists although some archived posts can be found on the Wayback Machine.  A replacement blog post was published.  Click here.

Cook, Mix, Mingle is a blog that explores the cultural diversity of South Florida. But since many posts are about Florida cuisine, it could also be sub-categorized under food blogs.

Been actively blogging as one of my primary home business projects for years. Publishing my various blogs is rewarding and enjoyable work, but reading blogs by others is eye-opening and a lot of fun!  Every publisher is so unique in their style and method of presentation.

• Cook, Mix, Mingle would likely be viewed as a cultural diversity blog.  But I like all the food finds. ☺

The former publisher, Lawrence Jean-Louis, (she sold the blog) is a young lady who currently hails from South #Florida and has Haitian roots. She shares all sorts of information about the area but my favorite posts are the ones about food. For example: In a blog entry dated February 10, 2014, readers were directed to five #YouTube channels on #howto cook #Africanfood. If you ever visited or lived in South Florida (or Haiti), then you know many of the #recipes for the dishes served in restaurants or private homes, for that matter, incorporate the flavors of the African continent. What a fabulous find for #foodies!  Five food channels right at your fingertips!  This post should be featured in a Food Lovers Guide.  ❤

Everyday Exotic Spices ~ Foodie Friday Annual RoundUp

Last year I started a series called Foodie Friday. It's a new year, and I may continue this series or start a new one. I'm undecided. It's only the first week of the year. What's the rush?  I've got a little bit of time. 

Since most people usually do a review of their previous year's efforts anyway, I'm sharing my list of posts that were tagged “Foodie Friday” in case you want to visit or revisit. Enjoy!
