This is sponsored post with Frito Lay. My family and I have been eagerly awaiting summer to begin. My husband is an avid griller and we love grilled food! This past weekend Los Angeles hit some record highs (um...103!!!) but since it was both his birthday and mother's day, we invited some of the family over for a cook out. Of course, we had to do it our way and our way is not … [Read more...]
The first thing I hear every Saturday morning is the sound of my daughter's feet dashing from her bedroom to ours. Pat-pat-pat she sprints down the hall and then I hear her feet grow softer. That's when I realize she is standing over my head. "Good Morning Mommy! I'm hungry!" That is my wakeup call for the day to begin. I usually glance at the clock and beg it to say something different than it … [Read more...]
When I was a kid, coming home from school would involve a quick snack right before we started on homework. More often than not, it would be a palta (Spanish for Avocado)with a sprinkle of salt, with a spoon. My abuelita and I would sit and split one avocado, savoring each spoonful of goodness one by one. It started my love affair with the California Avocado. Early last month, I had a chance … [Read more...]
My family of three is your typical, modern family. We get up early, get ready for our day and we all run around trying to get everything done by, oh, 8am. Ha. That means usually my husband and I are up at 630 to get breakfast, coffee, lunch ready, more coffee, and then we start on our daughter to get her up and moving. That's just the morning! We are a family that needs fuel, and not just any … [Read more...]
Growing up in a Peruvian household there were 3 items that were staples in our home. I mean, you could literally find these food items at any given time, and if you didn't, my abuelita and mom would have had a heart attack. The items were: Arroz (white rice), limón (lime) and Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Whenever my mom was stuck on what to make for dinner, she would whip something together using the 3 … [Read more...]
It's become somewhat of a tradition for my family..the one time we all know we'll be home- Sunday Family Dinner. Depending on time, my husband and I decide what we'll be making and we each take part in creating or family meal. This past week we felt like having some Italian eats, and as we were doing our shopping at our local Smart and Final, we checked out some pretty awesome products from La … [Read more...]
In November of last year, GM contacted me to attend the L.A. Auto Show with them. I couldn't go myself but I had a great contributor go for me and she got a chance to experience some fabulous cars, including some in the Buick line. A few weeks ago I got my chance to check out Buick in all it's glory, but with an added bonus- celebrity chefs, food and wine. NOM. I was sent to my first … [Read more...]
My mom tells me that I have been a social creature since birth. I always made friends wherever I was even as a toddler. As a teenager, I had a very close circle of girlfriends, many of whom I consider close friends still today (let's not talk about how many EONS it's been since graduation!). After I had my daughter, my friendships became the way for me to not only keep sane, but … [Read more...]
You see that picture above? That was what my husband and I looked like before we were parents. Oh, that was also one of our dates. I kinda remember what those were like. Actually, that was my birthday 2006...and about a month later I found out I was pregnant. We love our girl, she is truly the light of our lives but every once in a while, mommy and daddy need some time to remember how it all … [Read more...]
