A round-up of tasty morsels from Valley food blogs.

Foodiebear's blog makes you feel warm and fuzzy with the stellar snaps and well-written reviews of local restaurants. This week Foodiebear takes us to Tien Wong Hot Pot in Chandler. Head over for helpful hints on how to enjoy a hotpot with panache.

Pavle Milic posted on his blog that he and Charleen Badman have entered FnB Restauant as a team on the Arizona Color Run 5K. Not a runner? Don't worry, Milic and Badman haven't run a 5K, either. Proceeds benefit Banner Medical Cardon Children's Center. Your motivation to start training: "Charleen and Pavle will come to the winner's house and cook dinner for 4 of his/her friends. They will also bring a mystery wine maker to help us serve wine and...hang out." What a reward for slipping on your sneaks, running like hell and get sprinkled with brightly colored cornstarch for the kids.

We noticed Sammiches on twitter and decided to check out their website. It's a sort of blog/aggregator based in Phoenix (but looking to expand elsewhere) that's all about sandwiches or as they call them, sammiches. Each post/pic has a description, is dated and includes a map. We see lots of Phoenix favorites on there -- and even a Maui Dog dog.

Hey metro Phoenix eaters, if you have a food blog or know of one we've missed, leave word in the comments section.
