Del Real’s Al Pastor Taco Kit and Party Box Giveaway

I’m busy, like everyone else. Work. My business. My kids. Husband. The dogs. Blog. The turtle. (I felt bad leaving him out, though he’s pretty low-maintenance.) Throw in fitness, some certification programs I’m in as well as ongoing ed, cupcake experimentation and all the regular household chores and errands, and there are nights I’m lucky to have time to call for pizza…but I can’t do that often. It’s not only an unnecessary drain on the budget, it’s really not good for us.

Sigh. Pizza, I love you, especially with Canadian bacon, pineapple and banana peppers…

Anyway, back to my point. I can’t eat pizza every day, but I also won’t sacrifice taste and enjoyment of food just to stay healthy and fit. Last summer, I was introduced to Del Real foods at a fancy press shindig at a gorgeous home in the hills. Come to find out, I’d already had their amazing tamales and enchiladas at Costco!

Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying the Del Real line of foods numerous times, and now, once again. I received a complimentary Party Box, complete with several types of food, their new Al Pastor Taco Kit and a fun cooler basket and waterproof picnic blanket for the purposes of featuring it in my review and giveaway. Summer, bring it on, I’m ready to head to the beach or the park, or one of those hikes we keep talking about taking, along with my chilled food and bevs!

If you haven’t tried any Del Real Foods yet, what are you waiting for? They are authentic Mexican food and if you’re concerned about the whole convenience factor taking away from the taste — since a lot of frozen or pre-made foods aren’t as delicious as the ‘real’ stuff — you’re in for a surprise! Del Real foods are easy to heat and assemble, and whenever we use them, which is pretty frequently, everyone’s happy and full in no time. I love that. I can serve the family food that they look forward to without spending an hour or so in the kitchen prepping, heating and cleaning. Right now, time is at a premium as we add in bridal shower prep, finishing the garden prep and getting some indoor home maintenance and reno done. The downstairs bathroom has to be repainted and there are a bunch of other things you don’t think about doing until have 25 guests, many who have never been to your home before, coming for a fancy-schmancy-pants party.

One of our favorite Del Real products is the pupusas.

Yum, right??

delrealfoodsYou can’t go wrong with these, or any products in the Del Real line, in your freezer!

Enter the giveaway for a chance to win one a Del Real Party Box! You can go to the beach, the mountains or just to the park with the waterproof blanket, cooler bag and delish food — now that it’s warmed up here in Southern California, I’ll be using it for a nice relaxing lunch when I need to get away from it all. Where do you think you’ll use it first? Post your answer to the blog and enter the giveaway below! (Prize to be supplied directly via Del Real Foods.)

    I would take it when we go to our cabin in the summer. It would make a great (and easy) feast.

    I would take this for a picnic up to Boulder Rock here in New Hampshire. It would be nice to just get away and have a nice picnic like this.

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!

So you may have heard about a little storm that hi So you may have heard about a little storm that hit Southern California this past week. For the first time in the ten years in our house here in the foothills of the Inland Empire, our grass was covered in big, fat white chunks of snow. And it was amazing. As you can see, Lady Sif loved it. She was trying to catch the, uhm, flakes…she rolled around and kept staring at the sky. I mean, who wasn’t? This was crazy. 

It posed a few problems. People here can barely drive in the rain. Our roads aren’t built for this much wet, and potholes were popping up everywhere. One drop of rain and people slow down, but snow was a beautiful distraction…so you see where I’m going. 

We may start to dry out after today. It’s sunny and there’s this blue in the sky that I’ve forgotten about, it’s been so long. But, it was hailing an hour ago and my backyard is still a mini-pond which the dogs will do anything to avoid when they have to go potty…which they put off as long as they can.

We’re from NY, so we’re not new to snow. We’re just acclimated to a climate that has us much more prepared for 100+ degree weather, not this constant low 40s. The layers of clothes, the hot showers and the extra blankets are getting old. Here’s to spring.
