Just wanted to give my readers a heads up on next month, which is going to be the busiest month for me in a LONG time.  First of all, I’m super excited to say that my hot husband and I will be taking our toddlers to Disneyland for the first time in early June!! We are all so excited (okay, well maybe not the husband so much) I’ve been doing tons of planning and making them cute Disney shirts and other things for the trip.  It should be tons of fun!!

After I get back from that I have a couple weeks to get back into the swing of things, then I am off again for a weekend to Los Angeles for the Dole California Cook-Off . The amazing people at Dole have invited me, along with four other food bloggers,  including a fellow Phoenix food blogger JustinEats .  At this cook off there will be five finalists that will compete to have their recipe take first place and be placed on tons of Dole canned fruit or juice labels.  The winner will also take home $1000.00, not too shabby!   Each of us food bloggers will be paired off with a finalist and we will help them prepare thier winning recipe.  Then, hunky-hotty son of Harrison Ford, chef  Ben Ford, will judge the recipes and pick a winner!! Can’t say that i’m not a little excited to meet him and pick his foodie brain.

I’ve never been to L.A. before, besides the airport, so I am excited to go and since I’m broke, even more excited that Dole is hooking us up with everything we need…rental car, spending money in all!  I’m going to take lots of pics and bring back the dish on some great places to eat in L.A.  I have a feeling some Kogi BBQ truck and taco truck chasing may also be in order!
