WOW.. There were A LOT of us!
Me failing at taking a self pic with Mr. Potato Head.
Me in front of a giant veggie statue.. come on I HAD to do it. :)
Out to dinner with AMAZING foodBloggers (linked to all thier blogs at the end) This is
Ree, Jaden, Cora, and I think Maris (let me know if I’m wrong! Sorry!!)

Ok, seriously.. I had a BLAST. I talked too much and slept too little. I ate intuitively and sampled everything. It was a nice escape yet exhausting. It was a great 3 days.

I am so jealous that you were able to attend that. It looks like so much fun. I love the t-shirts. Also, if I met Ree Drummond I might pee my pants. Further, Esther and I went to high school together..the good ole’ days in Corvallis, Oregon. She’s a gem. Glad that you’re enjoying it.

It was really great to meet you! The dinner was a lot of fun.
(I’m also laughing at your sidebar with “current weight” and “goal weight.” Story of my life. But as long as I’m staying close to goal most of the time, I feel like I’m doing okay. You look great! I admire your commitment to fitness. I’m starting to get back in shape after two years of stress and not enough exercise.

Haha, I look…surprised :)
Great to meet you, Roni! It looks like you had a fantastic weekend, too. I love the fitness blogger shirts that you and Carla are wearing!

WOW! Looks like you had a great time. I just can’t get over that Ragu Sauce made of veggies :)
That is crazy.
I really hope that you share more of what you learned from the conference. As a new blogger I would love to hear more :)

It was great meeting you this weekend, Roni! How funny that we ran into each other right away on the shuttle bus (with the driver with the never-ending spiel). Nice blog!

great roundup! Sorry I missed the chance to chat with you more at the food bloggers dinner, we could have had fun. In addition to cooking, I am pretty sporty, especially with outdoor activities. We could have had a blast comparing stories!
