Kraft Blogger Bytes Conference (Giveaway)


October was a whirlwind travel month for me.  I went through Chicago twice this month, the last time for the Kraft Blogger Bytes conference -- a get-together for several bloggers at the Kraft Development Kitchen in Skokie, IL.  In addition to connecting with some FABULOUS bloggers, most of whom I had never met before, I learned about new Kraft products, sampled some delicious recipes, and even competed in our own version of Chopped, with a recipe challenge competition.

Our Parfaits didn't win, but they were delish!

I also learned some savvy blogging skills to take my blog to the next level, which is where this branded event really stood out from others I attended.

Learning about video blogging!

Some other highlights included:

Knife skills lesson from Chef Harry Crane

Careful with that knife, Chef!

A ride in the Weinermobile....

Kickin' it in the Weinermobile

A Rainy Ride


And when I got home, there was a GIANT box of goodies there soon after.  I'll be doing another blog posts on the products that I love the most from the box (complete reviews, with photos), but in the meantime, I get to give one lucky reader an identical box of goodies!
