Thoughts on BlogHer Food
Posted by Natalie on Monday, May 23, 2011 · 24 Comments
I have so much to say about this weekend!
First of all, food bloggers are great people. Every person I met was a g-e-m. I loved meeting other people who care about things like photo garnishes, the chickens living in my garage (sorry I haven’t told you about that yet!) and how to take pictures in restaurants without annoying people. Amazing, right? I think we should all live together in a big blogging commune and eat tasty food all day.
I learned roughly a million things at this conference. I have ideas out-the-waz and I can’t wait to roll out some new changes here at Oven Love. I want to make it even better for you guys- easier to search, more fun to look at and even more inspiring. I’m on the job.. so much to do!
And in case you were wondering, I was thinking about you the whole weekend. I even brought you back some extra swag! Here’s what’s in the bag:
-Reusable bag from Saveantibiotics.org
-Metromint water
-Butterball seasoning kit
-All new Lite Pom (this isn’t in stores yet, but it’s so good!)
-Quaker Oatmeal Squares
-Bob’s Red Mill Granola, Gluten-Free Hot Cereal and Pearl Whole Wheat Couscous
-Dole Peaches
-Assorted coupons (Stonyfield, Wasa, Barilla, etc)
To enter, all you have to do is comment below, and ask me a question! You can ask me a question about anything: my recipes, someone else’s recipes, something that has nothing to do with food, the meaning of life, whatever you want. Just ask me a question and you’ll be entered to win the swag bag. Contest ends Wednesday night at midnight EST.
Winner will be announced on Thursday, and I’ll be answering all of your questions. Look forward to some GFA pie posts later this week!

Where have you been all my life?!?
Love you dearly!
Oh wow! AWESOME swag bag. My question would be: can you share thetips on taking pictures in restaurants withoutannoying other diners? I always feel so obnoxious! I’m trying to learn how to take good food photos anyway… even at home.
Oh, second question: can I be on the invite list for this commune? Thanks!
I can’t wait to hear about all the things you learned and see all the changes. I love this blog already and know it can only get much better!
What was the #1 thing you learned about photography for OvenLove at BlogHer Food?
My Question: What are your favorite food blogs (besides your own) that feature healthy food? (I’m doing the Weight Watchers thing now and looking for new recipes)
Was BlogHer Food worth the money? (For the experiences, people met, blah blah blah)
