First, lets give a hand to my fantastic guest poster, belhoste!! She did a wonderful job standing in for me with the posts and I hope you all are so kind as to visit her blog and say hello:)

If you recall, I went the Blogher conference in San Fransisco this past weekend and one of the exciting parts of it was getting to see Rocco DiSpirito!  Not only is he easy on the eyes, he’s also witty and down to earth!  He cooked up some pasta using the quick and easy Bertolli pouches.  Very simple to use and I loved watching him taste everything…he kept licking his fingers:)

I also loved that he walked the room so that we all got to see him instead of just staying in one place where the back people wouldn’t be able to see.

He told us his story on the turning point of becoming so interested in food and what drives him today.  When he’s home, he loves to eat soup!  He seems very genuine, down to earth, funny, and I adored how would reference his mother….he’s a good boy;)

It was definitely one of my highlights and I’m glad that he accepted the offer to participate in Blogher and I’m extremely grateful to be a part of it!

Here were are together…….

Ermmm, now onto the food!

I was able to attend Guy Kawasaki’s party on Thursday night and I must say, he had the most fantastic food!  The party was beautiful and the food was delicious:)  See all my photos from San Fransisco here including Guy’s party!

Anyways, the colors were vibrant, the variety of drinks rocked, and the combination of flavors were divine:)  Take a look at some of what he offered…………

First up is some good ol’ barbecue!  A little more fancy than what I prepare but just as good!

Wild Rice & Peppers anyone??

For you meat lovers, how about this with a side of asparagus??…YUMMY!

We attending a Macy’s party and enjoyed these cute little Chinese takeout boxes complete with chopsticks!

These were cute too, just a little bigger than a quarter:)  I did learn that I don’t like tofu….which is what these are :/

I had a blast and loved every single minute of it! I tried to bring a little of Blogher to you since I know that many of you can’t attend…I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I loved taking them!
