Want To Learn About Blogging and Social Media?

The craziest thing is taking place this month. I’m becoming a teacher!

I’m hosting a class to teach you how to be a food blogger… or learn the in’s and out’s of social media. The class will help you (totally, optional) start your own food blog, talk restaurants with me, learn some tips about social media, and then celebrate the last day of class by going out to me with me and fellow classmates

Spots in the class are limited and runs for three Mondays starting on September 12. I promise you’ll enjoy at least 10 minutes of it (if not more).

Sign Up Today!
