Food Blogger Pro is Open for Enrollment

Gather round, grab your friends, your family, pals, neighbors, coworkers. Okay, maybe not your neighbors and coworkers, but lean in, guys – I have something important to share.

Food Blogger Pro’s spring registration is now open. OPEN! As in doors wide ooooopen for 6 more days.

And we’d love for you to be a part of this community.

When I first started Pinch of Yum, I had no idea what this lil’ blog would grow into. I just knew that I had to share my love for all foods fried, cooked, raw, tossed together, smothered in sauce, baked, creamed, and topped with an egg with anyone who would listen.

Over the next few years as we continued to develop Pinch of Yum, Bjork and I learned so much valuable information from our own mistakes and experiences as well as learning from the input and help of others. All of that information contributed to Pinch of Yum’s growth in a huge way. Now, 6 years later, Pinch of Yum has grown into a vibrant community that consistently makes us feel like we are the luckiest people alive to be able to do what we do (namely eating arepas) and call it “work.”

This is where Food Blogger Pro comes in.

Food Blogger Pro is an online learning community where busy food bloggers (and a handful of non-food bloggers too) efficiently connect and learn how to take their blogs to the next level.

We know how important having a community of support is to a blog’s success so we want to make our knowledge, our experience, our don’t-do-this and YOU GOTTA TRY THIS insights available to you.

A quick little quiz:

1. Do you love food, nutrition, recipes, community, and/or the internet?
2. Have you been wanting to improve your photography and understand your camera better?
3. Have you ever been told you should start a blog?
4. Do you have a blog already?
5. Do you wish your blog had more traffic?
6. Does SEO scare you?
7. Do plugins and HTML and analytics sound like foreign language?
8. Have you ever wanted to turn your blog into a source of income?

If you answered yes to any of the above, Food Blogger Pro was created to meet your blogging needs.

Whether you’re just starting out or simply want to kick your content up a notch, Food Blogger Pro is a community where you can connect with others bloggers as well as get all your blogging related questions answered in one place.

Take a virtual tour!

VIDEO COURSES

Right now we have over 300 videos available to you as soon as you register. These videos cover everything from Getting Started, Building Traffic, Generating Income, Food Photography, and Creating an eBook. Plus! Each video comes with full transcript so you can find your favorite insights like a true speedster.

LIVE EVENTS

Every month we host a Live Q&A where Bjork and I (or a featured industry expert) answer questions about this crazy world of online biz building, including everything from Facebook ad targeting to photography to email management (boring, but important!). Plus, as a member, you get access to all our previously recorded Q&A sessions and can jump around from question to question to see answers to the parts of the Q&A that were most relevant to you. Double win.

FORUM

What to even say about the forum? It’s so fun, it’s extremely active, and it is your go-to place for crowd-sourcing an answer to difficult questions. Members (and the FBP Industry Experts, see below…) are incredibly generous with their feedback. You’ll find not only technical information here but inspirational and motivational encouragement as well. I LOVE THE FORUM.

EXPERTS

One person can’t know it all, which is why we are so excited to bring you the *best of the best* to teach you exactly how to win in all the different areas of blogging. These experts are available through our community forum to answer questions for you about their area of expertise.

NUTRITION LABEL TOOL

The nutrition label generator offers a quick and easy way to create a label that you can include in your recipe posts. I include one in (almost) ever post I publish.

COMMUNITY

But my personal favorite part of the whole operation? THE COMMUNITY!

Hear me out here: nothing works without a strong base of like-minded people pushing you to achieve your goals and become better at your craft. And within Food Blogger Pro, there is no shortage of community! We have member-led discussions, tons of insightful forums (as mentioned before) and a few of us have even had the chance to meet each other in person at conferences this year. 

Here’s a picture of our FBP meet up from the Everything Food Conference last week. Thanks to Brittany for this picture!

 

$29/month (or $279/year).

No fine print and no commitments. We think the best contract is no contract, so you can cancel at any time.

What if I can’t afford a full year of membership?

You can pay month to month and still take advantage of all of our resources. Plus you can cancel anytime!

What if don’t have a blog, and I just want to learn more right now?

Everyone is welcome. We even have a course called Getting Started where we walk you through step by step on how to start your blog from the very beginning.

What if I need help with my blog but I don’t write about food?

We welcome you! About 10-15% of Food Blogger Pro members have blogs that are focused on subjects outside of food. Even though most of our resources and content are written with food blogs in mind, you can still take the basic principles and apply them to your own blog.

Can I wait and sign up next month?

After June 2nd we close the public enrollment and move to a waiting list.

Here is some feedback we’ve gotten from members. All of these are quotes from unsolicited emails or messages.

“Totally LOVING FBP! I’ve been blogging for a number of years and was hesitant to sign up as I was worried it would be too basic. OMG – I’ve learned SOOOOO much over past few weeks already.” – Michele

“I truly believe the smartest decision I made when I decided to go for it was to purchase this service. I have found FBP to be an amazing resource and I dare say I might have gotten frustrated to the point of quitting with setting up the website if not for the videos and the answers I found in this community.” – Jeff

“I’ve been blogging since 2008 and have taken many courses, read books, gone to conferences, etc. Being a member of FBP is one of the most helpful tools I’ve used so far.” – Stacie

“I set a goal to double my blog revenue within three months and, with the info provided by Food Blogger Pro, I was able to accomplish that goal in under 30 days! My revenue was already fairly large, so this was no small feat. This website and all of the easy to follow information is beyond valuable.” – Beth

“Just wanted to shoot you guys a BIG THANK YOU! The food photography and styling videos on Food Blogger Pro have made a huge difference in my food photos. Lindsay is an incredible teacher. She makes topics approachable because the way she explains things is easy to follow, but super informative. A recipe of mine was recently picked up by The Huffington Post.” – Theresa

✖️Food Blogger Pro is NOT for you if you:

1. Have lots of time to research all the answers to your blogging challenges;
2. Are confident in your game plan for building traffic and income;
3. Are already connected with a supportive group of bloggers.

✔️Food Blogger Pro IS the right fit if you:

1. Feel isolated and unsure of how to get connected in the food blogging community;
2. Feel like you could be doing more with your traffic and income;
3. Need a time-saving solution for getting answers to your blogging questions.

Alright – that’s a wrap on my end. Just one last reminder that enrollment is open until June 2nd at 11:59PM CST.

We’d love for you to join!

Shawarma-Spiced Grilled Chicken with Garlic Yogurt

An easy, grilled chicken version of the classic Turkish street food which is usually cooked on a rotating spit. It is perfect served over couscous with yogurt and cucumbers as I did here, or try it with rice pilaf, or on a pita.  Other sides that would work are tomatoes, tahini, olives, feta, or hummus. Harissa would also work great to add some spice!

Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook: Cover Reveal

I’m over-the-moon excited to FINALLY share the cover design and concept for my second cookbook, Skinnytaste Fast and Slow: Knockout Quick-Fix and Slow Cooker Recipes. 

Since my first cookbook came out, I’ve gotten tons of requests for more slow cooker recipes and quick dishes that take 30 minutes or less from start to finish. I’ve been listening and wanted to fill Skinnytaste Fast and Slow with the easiest, tastiest, most convenient healthy recipes—ever. And that’s what I did! This book has a total of 140 nutritious, flavor-packed, figure-friendly recipes—60 for the slow cooker and 80 that cook in 30-minutes or less!—so you can get a great homemade meal on the table any night of the week.

Here’s a sample of what’s inside…

5 Minute Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce! Roasted red peppers, plum tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice? Put this on everything = food goals achieved.

Here’s the deal. This beautiful thing I’m showing you is called Romesco Sauce and it is in the business of saving the Summer Meal.

You know, the Summer Meal for the day where you’ve been outside all day or a lot of the day or, to be honest, none of the day (!!!!) which means that now it’s 6pm and you need to get outside ASAP because SUMMER IS AMAZING. It’s the day when the best possible meal would be one that could involve as little time as possible indoors.

Related Terms –> Grills. Sunsets. Margs. Chicken. Brats. Veggies. Sangria. Decks. Potatoes. Burgers. Juicy Lucys (Minnesota represent). Friends. Music. Smores. Bonfires. Help I can’t stop drinking romesco sauce.

Let’s get this happening up in your life right. now.

Do you have a blender? And do you have a small spatula to preserve every last lick? Awesome – then we are set.

Plop these items in your blender (guys for once in our lives, not the food processor because JUST SAYING it might maybe explode all over your white kitchen which would make this more like 20 minute bad mood Romesco Sauce). Give them a go-round a few times till everything gets nice and friendly with each other:

• Roasted red peppers – you can make your own and we’ll all be proud of you! but it’s summer and the whole point here is to NOT spend a ton of time in the kitchen so the rest of us will be over here with our jarred roasted red peppers and we’ll be proud of ourselves, too.
• Plum tomatoes – canned is nice because they don’t get quite as watery and frothy, but HECK YES it’s summer and HECK YES there are tomatoes growing in your garden and HECK YES you can use them here.
• Almonds – they make it more textured and more thickened and generally just satisfying and interesting. which is just how I like my food.
• Olive oil – we’re talking creamy-like emulsion here. DREAMS COMING TRUE.
• Lemon juice, Garlic, Parsley, Salt

ANNNNND GO.

And just like that, you made the ultimate sauce with which you can create hundreds of summer meals. YOU ROCK!

Do we even need to talk about what this sauce could be paired with or is your mind already spinning with ideas? (Leave a comment I’m greedy for your ideas )

Most recently, I had this Romesco Sauce over chicken mozzarella meatballs (but for real) and crispy potatoes which basically makes the BEST combo for meal prep. In case you’re wondering, I made broccoli to go with it which conveniently got charred to a crisp and wasn’t able to join the party. Some things are just not meant to be, amiright?

Romesco Sauce plus poached eggs sound pretty amazing, as does grilled chicken slash grilled ANYTHING with a shmear of this over top.

This is the lifesaver of the Summer Meal and I think you’re going to love it because around here we are lovers of all the sauces. Cheers to you and your Romesco Sauce adventures. Go forth and be saucy!

5 Minute Romesco Sauce

Author: Pinch of Yum

Serves: 2 cups sauce (about 4 servings)

 

Ingredients

• 1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers
• 4-5 plum tomatoes
• 1 cup raw almonds
• ¼ cup fresh flat leaf parsley
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
• 2 cloves garlic
• juice of half a lemon

Instructions

1. Pulse everything together in a blender until it's texturally right for you (I like it right between chunky and smooth - I leave a little texture with the almonds, but it's mostly a smooth emulsion).
2. Serve hot or cold with grilled chicken and vegetables, crispy potatoes, eggs... the possibilities are endless.

Notes

Use with grilled meat and veggies, crispy potatoes (my favorite!), eggs, and more.

You can used sliced almonds but since you'll be able to pack more into a cup, use about ¾ cup vs. the whole almonds where you would use a full cup.

This is a very forgiving recipe. Add or subtract as you like, but note that the almonds help thicken the whole thing so don't omit those!
