The Dish on Con Agra's Site for Bloggers

ConAgra Foods, the company that brings ingredients like Hunt's, Libby's and Wesson to my pantry, now has a new ingredient, but this one is for my blog! Their site, The Dish, offers easy access to recipes, cooking advice, kitchen tips, and other exclusive content from ConAgra Foods.

The site has a Seasonal Spotlight section that will give you the latest news from ConAgra Foods, as well as great recipes and tips for cooking for the season! If you want more, the Recipe Resource section is full of ideas for you to try and share. I love the features for holiday recipes, and not just the big holidays like Thanksgiving, but every holiday, even St. Patrick's Day! There is also a great article called "What To Cook?" that gives you ideas for recipes that would be great to feature on your blog each month. So when you have your calendar out trying to plan out your blog content, you can gain inspiration and ideas from the fabulous staff of The Dish.

All of this great content is put together by a team of Mom's, bloggers, ConAgra Foods experts, and celebrity chefs. You can check out each of them and even ask them questions directly in the Ask Our Team section of The Dish. You may even see a familiar face or two in the section. Courtney Dial Whitmore is one of my favorite bloggers. She is the creative lady behind Pizzazzerie and the author of Push Up Pops. George Duran is the host of The Ultimate Cake Off on TLC and author of Take This Dish and Twist It. Phil Lempert is a food marketing expert that appears as a correspondent on The Today Show and is on The View monthly.

These are just a few of the great team members who provide content and act as a resource for you and your blog! I love that ConAgra Foods has taken the time to put together a group of people that are not only experts in their field, but have experience to know what content is useful to bloggers. All of the content on

The Dish is great, but my favorite section is First Look First Taste. Not only are bloggers given a sneak peak of products and promotions that will be hitting the store shelves soon, but you can request a sample of the product to try before it even hits the shelves. My kids will be toting the new Snack Pack Bakery Shop collection in their lunch boxes before anyone else and my readers will be able to read about our experience with them before heading to the store to grab some of their own.

The site is so easy to join. Head over to The Dish and check out all of the content they have to offer. Make sure to register with your name, email address, and blog address so you can gain access to the First Look First Taste section.
