Every once in a while we stumble upon a food site so amazing, so elegantly organized and brilliantly photographed that it gets stuck in our heads and we have to share. That's exactly what happened when we found Honestly YUM, a space dedicated to "the visual exploration of taste." HELLO, LET'S BE FRIENDS.

Honestly YUM comes to us from the team behind Honestly... WTF, another gorgeous lifestyle site devoted to just about every other thing that isn't food. Obviously, Honestly YUM resonates with us. For reasons. We just know you're going to love it, and would like to share with you a few of our favorite things you absolutely must check out by this drool-inducing team.

First, check out their launch video, centered around a brunch party that we desperately wish we'd get invited to. We defy you to watch this and not feel like summer is right around the corner. So much joy.

Don't you feel better? Doesn't it seem like everything on earth is just a little bit better after you've watched that? Without further ado, we'd like to share our three favorite things by Honestly YUM so far:

1. Salt Baked Potato: "Don't let the simplicity of a baked potato fool you." PREACH.

2. Ricotta Crostini Party: In case it was not clear by now, these people really know how to throw a party.

3. Winter Grapefruit Cocktail: This rum-based grapefruit cocktail includes some of our favorite ingredients (hello Aperol and cassis together -- why didn't we think of you?). It feels like the perfect thing to drink while you shout, "BYE WINTER, YA JERK."

What are you waiting for? Go catch up with everything Honestly YUM has posted so far! We are so excited to have them as part of the internet-food-nerd family.

Visit: TastespottingThe original food photography site TasteSpotting, founded in 2007, still receives some of the most food photo submissions of all the sites, making it one of the most selective (one competitor called TasteStopping launched purposely to accept declined photos). Run independently by Sarah J. Gim, the site has some of the most beautiful photos and a clean aesthetic. (credit:TasteSpotting)

Get ready to click through all the photos -- you may find yourself glued to your computer screen for hours. (credit:FoodPornDaily)
