Trail Mix and a Road Trip
I’ve been giddy with excitement for the last week. I’ve had trouble sitting still today. At 4am tomorrow I, along with the lovely ladies Bev of Bev Cooks and Carly of CarlyKlock are loading up and heading to Nashville for the Food Blog Forum. I’m pumped to meet so many bloggers that I’ve virtually met over the last several months.
We are headed for beautiful weather, awesome food and incredible people. This weekend might be epic. And by might, I mean will most-definitely be epic. I’ve pulled out my sunglasses and my flip flops, this trail mix and am ready to have a blast.

This looks delicious…and healthier than a bag of Cheetos!
