A visit to General Mills…

posted by Christy Denney on Nov 3, 2010 (updated Apr 29, 2019) 219 comments »

I have just spent the last two days at the General Mills headquarters in the Betty Crocker kitchens and met the fun team at Tablespoon. Pinch me please. I learned so much and didn’t feel a hunger pain the whole time I was there. I ate SO much good food!

Since I’ve been having so much fun, I thought you should have some fun too.

Can I just live in the Betty Crocker’s test kitchens please? What a dream job, seriously. Your supposed to just taste the food on taste panel and I ate everything on my plate. Oops.

Pilsbury Doughboy! Hoo-hoo!

Taking a Betty picture on the Betty Crocker wall…

If only I had this many props for my photos…

Love the photos. Look forward to new recipes. I made the pumpkin dip & it was the hit of many fall parties. The great thing is once you fill the pumpkin you carved as the bowl there is always more left over to eat at home.
