you don’t serve beer?

If you missed part one of my FBF Weekend, make sure you check it out. Right before lunch, we all gathered outside for a group photo. You thought it would take an hour to get everyone together, but 5 minutes later we were finished and headed to lunch.

Disney prepared an amazing lunch for us. It was part of their Kid’s Cuisine.

We spent the rest of the day listening to more great speakers.

Once the sessions were over, we changed and headed to Hollywood Studios for a Dessert reception and to watch Fantasmic.

I thought we were going to watch the show and then go to the dessert reception. Instead, we were escorted to a VIP sections with dessert stations at the Fantasmic show.

After the show we ran over to the Tower Of Terror. That ride is awesome. We made it to Rockin Roller Coaster just as they closed the gates.

Our plan was to go back to Magic Kingdom, but decided the Hotel Bar sounded like more fun. Did you know Magic Kingdom doesn’t sell beer!?!? With all those kids running around, I figured there would be a beer stand every few feet. Parents need to have fun, too!

After drinks and lots of blog talk, I made it back to my room around midnight. I had a surprise waiting for me too…

Me, Dianna, and Heather from Heather Likes Food, went to Animal Kingdom after brunch. I’d never been to Animal Kingdom before.

We headed home around 3 and surprising didn’t talk about blogging the whole way… I think we were both blogged out!

Once I was settled, I checked out my swag bag. I couldn’t believe how much stuff was in my bag. So far the Goo Goo Peanut Butter Clusters are my favorite.

I had a great time and met some really awesome people. I also came home with more enthusiasm then I had before. Thanks again Walt Disney World and Food Blog Forum!

My First Food Blog Conference

I spent the weekend eating and talking with 125+ people that take pictures of their food, too. This weekend was the Food Blog Forum hosted by Walt Disney World. With the purchase of our Conference tickets, we also received a two night stay at the Grand Floridian and 3 Day Park Hopper Pass. It was an amazing deal.

Dianna, from The Kitchen Prep, and I left around 8AM Friday. Our park tickets were available at 10AM and we wanted to get there early and explore the parks.

We talked none stop the whole way to Orlando. It made the ride go by really fast.

Once we arrived, we checked in at the hotel.

Tex-Mex Stuffed Sweet Potato

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I’m currently at Disney World for the Food Blog Forum’s Blog Conference. I’ll be back in a few days to share all the details from my trip. Until then, I wanted to share a recipe I made last week.

I’m currently on a Sweet Potato kick. I can’t remember having Sweet Potatoes growing up. The first time I can remember trying one, was when I cooked a Sweet Potato Casserole for Thanksgiving 5+ years ago. I didn’t really like the Casserole and thought it was because I didn’t like Sweet Potatoes. I tried cooking them again last year for Savory Sweet Potato Fries. I was a fan. I’ve come to realize, I’m not a fan of ‘Sweet’ Sweet Potato recipes.

It’s another edition of What I Ate Wednesday! This week it’s actually, what I ate Wednesday. The day started with my normal cup of coffee, or three!

Around noon, Huck’s coworker called and asked if we want to go to lunch. He was an hour away, so I snacked on one of my leftover Chocolate and Peanut Butter Brownies.

Chicken Gyro and Date night

Chicken Gyro with Chickpea Salad text

I made this the other day and it was amazing! I’ve made my version of Chicken Gyros a few times in the past and realized it hasn’t made it on the blog yet.

The first time I made this, I found a recipe in a magazine. I used chicken cutlets and layered it with different ingredients. Then, I baked it in the oven. I’m not sure where that recipe is now. In a box somewhere in the garage probably.

Robert is here

Yesterday, Huck had a claim in Homestead. When he went on his “mancation” last year, to the Keys, they stopped at a fruit stand in Homestead called “Robert Is Here”. He raved about their milkshakes, and we kept planning to go when we were in the area. Well, yesterday, it was only 15 minutes away from our stop. We were going!
