Extreme Value Comes To Los Angeles With Grocery Outlet

01/07/2016 by Yolanda Machado

Extreme Value Comes To Los Angeles With Grocery Outlet

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Grocery Outlet and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts are my own. Every week I go through a bit of a shopping dilemma. I want to make sure I get quality groceries, with brands I know and love, and as many organic options as possible for my family but, I don't want to go broke doing so. In Los Angeles, that has meant going to not one, not … [Read more...]

A Breakfast Pairing Unlike Any Other With #noosafresh

10/06/2015 by Yolanda Machado

A Breakfast Pairing Unlike Any Other With #noosafresh

This blog post is sponsored by noosa® yoghurt and SocialMoms. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. I didn’t grow up on the usual bacon and eggs, or waffles for breakfast. My grandmother was the one who got us ready for school, and she believed in starting the day with a delicious breakfast: jugos, pan dulces, chicharon, camote frito and avena con canela. These are the things I … [Read more...]

Mix and Match Dinner Deal For The Family #VoyPor5

Mix and Match Dinner Deal For The Family #VoyPor5

This is a sponsored campaign in collaboration with Wienerschnitzel and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts and opinions are my own.  The first time I ever had a chili dog, was a night my mom brought home a meal deal from Weinerschnitzel. She was a single mom, raising the three of us, so if we were getting food- you can be sure my mom made sure it was a good value. That was at least twenty … [Read more...]

Farm Fresh To You Delivers Fresh Produce Right To Your Door

Farm Fresh To You Delivers Fresh Produce Right To Your Door

I am being compensated by Farm Fresh To You for this campaign as part of the Mom It Forward Network. All thoughts are my own. One of the many benefits of living in Los Angeles, is that we are surrounded by Farmer's Markets and there is one open every day of the week. But, the one closest to me is on Sundays...which is my family's busiest day, so I rarely get to go and buy farm fresh produce. Or … [Read more...]

Summer Must: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Happy Hour #CoffeeBeanHappyHour

Summer Must: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Happy Hour #CoffeeBeanHappyHour

Thanks to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® for sponsoring this post. Summer in Los Angeles have always been hot. I live in the Valley, so it's usually 10 degrees hotter here than the rest of L.A. (cause we are just that HOT- get it? Ha!). But, seriously, this summer is brutal. We never used to have a humid climate but thanks to WEATHER, we feel like Miami, which...no. So, I have been doing … [Read more...]

The Moms of MasterChef

07/29/2015 by SMinLA Team

The Moms of MasterChef

Fox’s reality cooking competition MasterChef follows amateur chefs on their journey to sharpen their skills and impress the judges, including well-known restaurateur Gordon Ramsay. After weeks of challenges, a winner is crowned—but for the mothers on the show, being away from their children is definitely an added pressure. With the sixth season of the show currently airing on Fox, the moms of … [Read more...]

A Date Night Dining On The Dodgers Field With Montejo

07/08/2015 by Yolanda Machado

A Date Night Dining On The Dodgers Field With Montejo

This is a compensated collaboration with Latina Blogger Connect and Montejo. All thoughts are my own. As a Los Angeles native, I know that anytime I am in Dodger Stadium is a something to be remembered. So when Montejo invited me and a guest to have a tailgate dinner by Chef Eddie Ruiz of Corazon y Miel right on the field, I knew immediately that 1) this would be an amazing night and 2) my … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter S’mores Frozen Custard Sundae #FrozenCustardTime (Giveaway)

This blog post is sponsored by Dreyer’s/EDY’S® Frozen Custard and SocialMoms. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. 4th of July is right around the corner, and my family and I are gathering our best ways to keep cool and have fun while celebrating. We know what we'll be grilling (carne asada), and we'll have juices, water and some grown up drinks too. It's one of our favorite … [Read more...]

A Multicultural 4th of July: A New American Holiday #ThisIsWholesome

A Multicultural 4th of July: A New American Holiday #ThisIsWholesome

This is a compensated collaboration with Honey Maid as part of their #ThisIsWholesome initiative. All thoughts, adorable family members and s’mores are my own. When I was born, my family had been in the United States for less than a decade. I remember the stories my Ito would tell me about when they first arrived, how they didn’t know how to order food at counters, so he would only ask for … [Read more...]

The Better For You Oil Is Already In Your Pantry #SoyParaSoy

06/10/2015 by Yolanda Machado

The Better For You Oil Is Already In Your Pantry #SoyParaSoy

Disclosure: This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Soy Connection by United Soybean Board and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, all opinions are my own.   Cooking oil has always been a bit confusing to me. I mean, there's so many kinds! But I tend to stick to vegetable oil. But, as also my family's main worrier, I try to make sure what we cook with is a healthier … [Read more...]
