Where To Get The Freshest Rosca De Reyes in Houston For Dia De Los Reyes Magos | Three Kings Day

On January 5th Aranda's Bakery invited my family to check out some behind the scenes action of how they make the Rosca De Reyes for Dia De Los Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day). I am so excited to be partnering up with such an iconic brand to Houston. To be completely honest I had no idea how anyone made the Rosca, I just know that it's good and I love to eat it with the Abuelita chocolate. What I did know is that the Rosca usually tastes better from certain bakeries, like Aranda's, because of how fresh they actually are.

Healthy Mexican Recipe: Pico De Gallo Quinoa Salad with Nopales (Cactus)

I've played with the thought of putting "lose weight" on my new year's resolution list, but decided against it because that's not really what I want. What I really want is to eat healthier, and drink more water because I suck at that. Then I ran into the dilemma that what I make, or what my family makes is Mexican food on a day to day basis which usually consists of tortillas, rice & some kind of meat. I also have really low self-control when it comes to food, and I know that's not going to change overnight. I decided to introduce my family to healthier alternatives to things that I know they like. This quinoa with pico de gallo & nopales was actually introduced to us by my dad's mom, and to my surprise, everyone fell in love with it. My family isn't the most adventurous when it comes to eating so I decided this was one thing I was going to start incorporating into our dinner routine.

Chipotle Turkey Tostada with Cranberry Sauce | #MiKroger Summit

This post is sponsored by Kroger, and HMG, however all opinions expressed below are my own true honest opinions.

It's not every day that I find recipes that completely fall in love with and I don't already know, especially one where the ingredients surprised me! I would have never thought to combine turkey, black beans, & cranberry but it's one my tastebuds were definitely missing out on. We ventured to Dallas for the second time this year for the #MiKroger Summit hosted by Kroger and we were asked to do something we don't normally do, bring a dish for everyone at the event to try. Luckily I didn't have to invent anything, and we chose from the Kroger- Tu Holiday website. I'm so excited to share this recipe because it really did surprise my taste buds!

If you're a busy mom like me decorating your snack table for game day is probably the last thing on your list and sometimes it's totally not in your budget either! What I usually find though is that I have pretty much everything lying around the house. This time though instead of taking away time to grill outside we decided that Red Baron Minis & Deep Dish Pizzas were going to be on the game day menu.
