My Comfort Food Go-To: Abuelita’s Aguadito Recipe

My Comfort Food Go-To: Abuelita’s Aguadito Recipe

This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. Everyone has that comfort food they remember growing up. For most, it’s a chicken soup or a stew that mom or grandma made either when you were sick or during those cold winter months. Now, my mom made a killer Parihuela but that was a special occasion thing, and too rich to be comfort. My abuelita’s Aguadito, however, *chef’s … [Read more...]

Fleming’s $100 Margarita: A Girls Night Out Drink Worth Having

Fleming’s $100 Margarita: A Girls Night Out Drink Worth Having

This post is a collaboration with The Network Niche for Fleming's Steakhouse. All thoughts are my own. When I think of a margarita, my mind is flooded with images of summer, of backyard parties, and sharing margaritas with my best girlfriends in the warm California sun. It's the perfect drink to relax with while chatting with your best girlfriends, and Fleming's Steakhouse has a treat for … [Read more...]

Celebrating Las Posadas With Champurrado #JoyWorthGiving #SoWorthIt

Celebrating Las Posadas With Champurrado #JoyWorthGiving #SoWorthIt

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with JCPenney. All thoughts are my own. The holidays have always been a special time for my family. For as long as I can remember, celebrating Christmas was more than a one day event. When we lived near the heart of Los Angeles, we would often see and be part of nightly processions of in which two people would be dressed as Mary and Joseph, to simulate … [Read more...]

Discover New Milk Pairings At #ElChavoYLeche Events And Chance to Win $200

Discover New Milk Pairings At #ElChavoYLeche Events And Chance to Win $200

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with CA Milk and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. All thoughts are my own. Whenever you ask someone what they like to pair milk with, the answers usually are a range of sweet stuff like cookies, pies, cakes, and more. I know in my household, my daughter's usual lunch is a PB&J sandwich, topped off with a tall, delicious glass of cold milk. For … [Read more...]

Easy Breakfast Bean Bagels #FrijolesConTodo

Easy Breakfast Bean Bagels #FrijolesConTodo

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Herdez. Now that school has started, schedules are crazy, which means that often times, my husband and my breakfast time is cut short. I am trying hard to get us both to eat well in the mornings, something packed with protein and filling, rather than reaching for a sugary pastry. We are both partial to breakfast sandwiches, so I decided to try … [Read more...]

Coquito Inspired Mango Drink For Summer

Coquito Inspired Mango Drink For Summer

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Vive Mejor and Dime Media. However, all thoughts are my own. A little over a year ago, I met my friend's fiance who introduced me to Coquito. Coquito is this delicious Puerto Rican rum drink that is typically drank at gatherings over Christmas. Well, the weather is well over 100 degrees here, so it is definitely NOT Christmas but I still love … [Read more...]

Wine Tasting and Easy Pairing Tips with ALDI

Wine Tasting and Easy Pairing Tips with ALDI

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with ALDI USA. However, all thoughts are my own. I’m still dreaming of the two days I spent in wine country, on a vineyard with ALDI last month. The scenery alone was incredible, but experiencing the many tastes of ALDI, from foods to wine, was amazing. ALDI is already known to the rest of the country as being the grocery store that gives you the … [Read more...]

Delicious and New To California, ALDI Is Served #TasteofALDI

Delicious and New To California, ALDI Is Served #TasteofALDI

This is a sponsored collaboration with ALDI, however, all thoughts are my own. I’ll be the first to admit that I am a bit of a skeptic when I see something with a low price tag. I can’t help but think- OK, what’s the catch? Like most people, I am led to believe that “store brand” or lower priced items mean lesser quality. I was happily proven wrong by ALDI. When I went on a Behind the … [Read more...]

7 Reasons To Celebrate ALDI Coming To Southern California

7 Reasons To Celebrate ALDI Coming To Southern California

This is a sponsored post as part of a partnership with ALDI. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Every week it’s the same thing. I try to find a way to cut our grocery bill but I rarely get it under $100/wk. Mostly because I am really really bad at couponing (just not in my genes!) or I forget my “rewards” cards or both. Add that to the fact that I have recently switched over to … [Read more...]

Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons with Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate

Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons with Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate

This is a sponsored post, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. In my home, cereal is not just a breakfast food...it's a way of life. My husband can easily eat 8 bowls of cereal a day, my daughter loves to start her morning with one big bowl, and I love to snack on cereal at least once a day. Our favorite cereal? Honey Bunches of Oats, hands down. Now, there's a new flavor- Honey … [Read more...]
