My FIRST Exclusive Blogger Event♥

I was invited to my first Exclusive Blogger Event, it was at my local Whole Foods Market! It was an evening full of food, fun, and an exclusive showcase of their Thanksgiving offerings. I really enjoyed myself. At first it was a little awkward, since it was my first blogger event. I had absolutely no idea what to do or who to talk too! Thankfully my sister came along and we tasted tons of new foods and met fellow bloggers! I guess it's time I work on my communication skills..

The first thing we tried was a Winter Vegetable Salad, it was DELICIOUS, spicy but not too spicy!!!

And of course we can't forget about our appetizer Thanksgiving Nachos 

What's "dinner" without pie and ice cream?! :P

Everything was very organized, so much fun and really delicious. I can't wait for December to do it again!! I'll leave you with the recipe for a Winter Vegetable Salad because I will definitely be making this for Thanksgiving!!! Enjoy, Disfrútate, Jouir De, Godere.
