Vegan Hashbrown Crusted Quiche Lorraine - Guest Post by Tracy from Foodie Friends Friday

Hello, let me start by thanking "Addicted to Recipes" for the opportunity to guest post today and introduce myself. My name is Tracy and I write 2 blogs: Busy Vegetarian Mom and Foodie Friends Friday. We will talk about my Vegetarian blog another day. Today I want to tell you all about Foodie Friends Friday.

I started this little blog when I found that blogging was more than just a little hobby. I had met so many wonderful food bloggers in the few months since I started that I wanted to start a webpage that food bloggers could connect, network, share and grow. I quickly found others who shared the same passion and goals and a few grew into many. We now consistently have 10-15 foodies co-hosting our parties.

What party you ask? Well, we found that the best way to support each other and other food bloggers was to co-host a linky party every week. Every Thursday at 6pm PST our Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party starts and continues until Sunday 3am PST. At that point is switches to the voting round. Everyone is allowed to come back and vote for their favorite 3 recipes on Sunday until 6pm PST. The Top 3 Voted Recipes and the Top 3 Most Clicked Links all get a "brag button" to put up on their blogs and a permanent link on our "Page of Fame"! The top 30 voted recipes are also organized with permanent links on the website.

We have recently started working with weekly sponsors for our parties as well. Each week, randomly picked recipes receive a "sponsor gift" just for linking up! We have some amazing sponsors in the weeks to come, you really should drop by. We are going to try and get some giveaways in there for you non-bloggers who come by to check out all the recipes every week as well. Take a peek at our next several parties:

Now, I don't normally post any of my own recipes in the Foodie Friends Friday posts. Just the review of the past weeks winners and our co-host list. But today, I am going to share one of my personal recipes! I am vegetarian but I'm sure a lot of you are not so I thought I would share something everyone will love.
