It\u2019s a great community to be part of and I&#8217;ve learned a lot from other members.<\/p>\n<h2>2017 Highlight<\/h2>\n<p>The highlight of my year was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitchenfairy.ca\/winning-fbc2017-tickets\/\">winning the Ontario Apple Growers photo contest<\/a>.&nbsp;The prize&nbsp;was a ticket and hotel accommodation to the sold-out Food Bloggers of Canada annual conference in Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p>As a new food blogger attending this conference, it was a huge opportunity for me to learn, grow and develop. Being surrounded by creative and inspiring people with so much culinary talent was surreal. I was incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful weekend. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitchenfairy.ca\/fbc2017-recap\/\">Read my review of #FBC2017 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What my first year has been like:<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s been a fun, busy, and challenging year and a lot of hard work. Blogging&nbsp;is not an easy job! I\u2019ve&nbsp;poured my heart and soul into this blog and achieved my goal of posting 60 mouth-watering recipes along with 180 photos to spark your imagination, plus my personal stories about the recipes.
