My dear readers,
Some of you probably did not know that last weekend I have traveled to Orlando, Florida. I apologize for not posting any recipes last week. I had the honor to be selected to take part in Food Bloggers Forum among the hundred participants from around the country. These have been magical three days for me and my family. Besides, stay at the gorgeous Grand Floridian resort we also had tickets to four Disney parks, and while I have been making new friends and learning about blogging my family had an exciting time visiting “Tower of Terror” and riding Mount Everest roller coaster. The time spent was priceless and my kids wanted to stay longer. I would love to share a few moments from our trip. I hope you enjoy my reporting!
Food Blog Forum 2013, took place at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Amazing!
We had outstanding speakers – Scott & Jaden from Steamy Kitchen, Todd & Diane from WhiteOnRiceCouple, Lindsay from Love & Olive Oil and Julie. Thank you for all you’ve done for this unforgettable event.
We left the conference with gifts from Oxo, Kitchen Aid, Florida Dairy Farmers, and many more.
Our lunch was provided by Disney Kid’s Cuisine. “Make-Your-Own Nemo” dessert was the best for me. I ate three of them-))
Thank you all for a fabulous weekend!

May 23, 2013 at 12:16 pmI'm sad I wasn't selected, but I was late to apply. As it ended up our Spain trip overlapped most of the conference. We returned late Saturday night. Barcelona was amazing, but I missed seeing you and your sweet family 🙁 From your blog post it looks like this years conference topped last years. So glad you and your family got to enjoy it all.
