Ever pinch yourself and wonder, “Is this really happening to me?  Well, that’s how I feel right now.  When I started tinkering in my kitchen and photographing my recipes for this blog a little over a year ago, I never would have guessed that I would be invited to attend a fabulous, Registered Dietitian (RD)-founded blogger event known as Blog Brûlée.  I am honored to be able to blog talk with twenty fabulous RD-food, nutrition and health bloggers, authors, recipe developers and food photographers!  It’s almost here — in just two short days, from September 11 – 13, we’ll be descending on beautiful Stowe, VT.  (A far cry from Chicago!)

 My attendance at the Blog Brûlée is being partially funded by Sponsors of the Blog Brûlée and I received a discounted registration to the event in exchange for writing this post. Opinions expressed are my own. I was not compensated for my time.

You might ask, what do I want to get out of this conference? Here’s a few words that come to mind . . .

I’ve learned so much over the past year, but there’s oodles more than I want to do with my blog.  I am looking forward to learning from this fabulous line up of incredible speakers and bloggers (check them out, when you can!):

{Sally Kuzemchak, MS, RD of RealMomNutrition}

{Anne Mauney, MPH, RD of fANNEtastic food}

{Katy Widrick of KatyWidrick.com} {Katie Webster, author of Maple, 100 Sweet and Savory Recipes Featuring Pure Maple Syrup (Quirk Books, Fall 2015)}

Thank you to the founders of this fabulous event, Regan Miller Jones, RD of Healthy Aperture,  Gretchen Brown, RD of kumquat, Deanna Segrave-Daly of Teaspoon Communications and Robin Plotkin, RD of Robinsbite.  I look forward to seeing you in a couple of days!

So looking forward to sharing my Blog Brûlée experience with you!

As always, enjoy eating simply,
