Meeting One Of The #FacesBehindHunger And Discovering Feeding America

05/28/2015 by Yolanda Machado

Meeting One Of The #FacesBehindHunger And Discovering Feeding America

I was asked to participate in the #FacesBehindHunger campaign, sponsored by ConAgra Foods. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. Growing up, I remember seeing images of people experiencing hunger in other countries. Those commercials always affected me, but I always had that mind frame that it could never happen to me. Hunger doesn't happen here in the United States... this … [Read more...]

L.A. Dodgers, Cacique and Friends #CaciqueDoubleHeader

L.A. Dodgers, Cacique and Friends #CaciqueDoubleHeader

This is a sponsored post with Cacique and Society Culinaria. All thoughts are my own.  When you grow up in Los Angeles, there are a few things that are a given. One is you know the best tacos are probably made in an alley somewhere or your mom's house, two is you never get on the 5 or 405 after 3pm on a Friday and three is that the Dodgers are the only baseball team that matters. While I am … [Read more...]

Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe (No Ice Cream Maker!) #KraftTwistsSweeps

Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe (No Ice Cream Maker!) #KraftTwistsSweeps

This post is sponsored by Kraft Twist That Dish. All thoughts are my own. A couple years ago, I started experimenting with making various treats at home. Since it’s always pretty warm in Los Angeles, my main treats were paletas (Mexican style popsicles) and ice cream. I am pretty much an ice cream fiend, so making my own was pretty exciting. That is, until my ice cream maker broke. Then, … [Read more...]

This post is part of the SPLENDA® Brand Sweet Life Blogger Program by McNeil NutriBonals, LLC and The Motherhood, who sent me products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are my own, and I hope you enjoy them.

5 Delicious Grilled Sandwiches (Inspired by “Chef”) #StreamTeam

The Chef is an awesome movie to stream on Netflix this month especially if you love food and who doesn't? We’re all foodies at-heart. I promise, you'll love watching Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) create mouth-watering grilled sandwiches, including a Miami favorite, the toasted Cuban Sandwich. I have to admit, I'm a huge sandwich fan. So, this movie inspired me try my hand at making the best … [Read more...]

New Health Goals For The New Year #TomaLeche

Disclosure : This is part of a sponsored collaboration with the California Milk Processor Board and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Earlier last year, my family and I discovered we all had some tummy issues. It wasn't a fun discovery. Upon talking to our doctors, we found out what we were all lacking was a healthy daily dose of fiber. I'm not crazy about taking … [Read more...]

Movie Night Recipe: Chorizo Con Papas Calzone #GoAutentico

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Cacique and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts are my own.   It's no secret that I am a movie fanatic. My mom says she started taking me to movies from the time I was weeks old, and I never made a fuss. That love grew further when I was young and VHS rentals were a common occurrence on the weekends. Every Friday, my abuelita … [Read more...]

Gingerbread Milkshake Recipe #TomaLeche

This is a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Toma Leche. All thoughts are my own. When most people think of the holidays, they think....chocolate by the fire, sweaters and uggs and more. It makes sense, in most parts of the country it's pretty cold during the holidays. For us here in Los Angeles? We think cool. Milkshakes, ice cream, paletas and the beach practically all year … [Read more...]
