I'm still on a high.
High on foodie enthusiasm, inspiration, aspiration, new friends, and most of all, possibilities.
One of the first sessions I attended was on branding (led by Eat the Love and The Tomato Tart) yourself and your blog. I came away so excited to dive deep into the discovery process of finding the essence of FunGirlCooks. Not only my voice, but also the visual representation of this blog. (Hint: watch for enhancements in the months to come!)
This being my first blogger conference, I was certain that I had just hit the jackpot and experienced the climax of the two-days in my first session. Boy, was I wrong.
Day 1 included sessions on food travel writing with the likes of Donna Pierce of Skillet Diaries to mobile platforms for your blog with Epicurious, Gourmet Live and Scripps Network excutives.
Day 2 included a session with David Leite of Leite's Culinaria and Diane Jacob, author of Will Write for Food, discussing copyright, credit and etiquette in the food blogger arena. I capped off the day with a fantastic session on food blogging for change discussing world hunger, personal health, and engaging in the food community in your local town.
Perhaps the highlight of the day: Sweet Auburn Curb Market.
Come. To. Mama.
Grindhouse burger with vidalia onion rings.
Sweet potato cheesecake a la Sweet Auburn Bakery.
Roasted peach lemonade from Cafe Campesino.
Need I say more?
