Breakfast Made Easy

Eating Breakfast together is always a challenge for our family because of the different times that we each start our days.  On the weekends, we love to cook breakfast together. 

Thanks Johnsonville, breakfast was on them this week.  I received product coupons and a gift card to try the New Johnsonville fully cooked breakfast sausage.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience. 

Every now and then, this mami gets a break.  My kids are great.  They help me cook Breakfast on the weekends.  Some weekends, they do all the cooking and I do all the eating. 

Johnsonville understands how important Breakfast is for families.  They have made Breakfast easier for all of us "on-the-go" families.  Introducing New Johnsonville Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage...

These sausage patties are already cooked, all you need to do is warm them up for 40 seconds in the microwave.  Two patties of the original = 10 grams of protein  These are perfect for breakfast sandwiches.  This sandwich will fuel my family and have them ready for their day.

The new product line also includes sausage links and these warm up in the microwave in only 30 seconds. 

The turkey sausage links are only 70 calories per serving and have 8 grams of protein.

Since weekday morning breakfast is "on-'the-go", I use cups to serve my kids.  If they do not get done with it while at home, they can take it to go and finish it on the ride to school.  

I like that my teen can just pop these in the microwave and take them on the go.  Now, he can't say he did not have time for breakfast.  In less than a minute, he can have his breakfast ready.

This Mother's Day make it easier for your kids to make you Breakfast in bed with Johnsonville Fully Cooked Sausage.

By the way, did you have Breakfast already?  Remember Breakfast fuels your day, get started on the right foot by not skipping this meal.

Giveaway-Mother's Day Brunch Recipe #SaborTabasco

***Disclosure-Sample product was received.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

As a mom, I don't need materials things from my family as gifts like the song says, "All I need is love!"  This Mother's Day, my family needs not to buy me gifts but to just pamper me.  Let me sleep in and get extra sleep.  Wake me up with one of my favorite dishes, just in time for brunch.

Some Chicken and Waffles, Machacado, Chilachiles, or some Migas.  Do you know what migas are?

Ingredients:
-tortillas
-eggs
-oil

In a frying pan add oil.  I don't measure.  Cut your tortillas.  I use my hands and just cut them any which way.  Or you could use a knife to cut them in perfect bite size pieces.  I like my tortillas crunchy.  So I add enough oil to fry them just right.  Once the tortillas are fried, throw in your eggs.  My husband likes huevos con migas, so he adds more eggs than tortillas.  I like migas, so I add more tortillas and make them crunchy.  This is the perfect dish to add your favorite flavor of Tabasco.  I don't add salt or pepper, I add original Tabasco.
Buen Provecho....  (Bon Appetit)

Feliz Dia de Las Madres

This morning I will not complain about having not slept all night.

-about being tired.

- that my house is a mess.

- about the stresses I have.

-about being late to work everyday

I will remember that all night I got to hug my little one, I cuddled and snuggled with her every moment of every hour that I was awake.

I will remember all the funny moments, sayings, and laughs shared.  I will remember the time we spent together playing and enjoying ourselves as each ache comes about.

I will see the colors on the floor as an artist still not finished.  The toys and clothes all over as reminders of a life we live and people I share it with.

I will embrace the time spent with my teen as precious moments in time not usually had.

Today I will hug them tighter.  I will enjoy more time.  We will make more messes.  Today I remember why I do it all, because of them.

Though I would not have school meetings, projects, day cares, pottys to clean, and butties to wipe, I would not trade these not in a blink, not in a dream, and never in my life.

from one mami to another-  Happy Mami's Day to you!

Celebrity Makeup Artist Shares Beauty Tips for Mother's Day

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.

Need some beauty tips for our special day?  Are they throwing you a party?  Is the family taking you out to a restaurant?

I know I need to cover my bags from my sleepless nights thanks to my toddler.  And who doesn't want to look extra beautiful at least once a year, right?  Or put together?

Celebrity makeup artist and NEUTROGENA® Hispanic Beauty Ambassador, Elizabeth Ulloa, shares her professional beauty tips that will have all mamis looking beautiful during and beyond Mother's Day!

Smart Makeup - Get the base right and consider your skin needs. Maybe it needs a mattifying foundation, a light BB cream or just a little concealer. Whichever you choose, make sure to get the right color for your skin tone. Select a product with additional benefits such as SPF and antioxidants.

Make Your Eyes Pop in an Instant - Curl your eyelashes! It makes such a huge difference. Practicing with a good eyelash curler is a lifesaver, it can bring a face right back to life after a sleepless night.  

Longer Lasting Curls to Your Lashes - Once your lashes are curled, apply multiple layers of different types of mascara. Start with a waterproof formula - with its quick drying time, it will seal your lashes in place. Adding other formulas such as volumizing and lengthening mascaras is the ultimate cocktail to gorgeous, full lashes.

A Flush of Radiance - One of my favorite beauty tips to instantly add a natural, youthful glow is to apply a pinkish rose-colored blush onto the apples of the cheeks, forehead, temples and tip of the nose. It instantly gives you a flush of radiance.

Smart Tools - For an even flawless foundation application soak your makeup sponge in water, squeeze water out and let sponge expand, begin applying your foundation

Radiant Eyes - Add luminosity to your eyes by applying a pale shimmer eye shadow into the inner corner tear ducts of the eyes - it will instantly open up your eyes. I recommend silver for pale skin, gold for medium skin and copper for darker skin tones.

Healthy Pucker - Shades such as bright berries, peaches and soft nudes add a touch of chic elegance to your lips. Choose emollient formulas to add the right amount of shine.

Healthy Skin is Happy Skin - Always remember to remove your makeup before bedtime to avoid nasty breakouts. Makeup remover cleansing towelettes are fast, easy and efficient to always keep your skin healthy and happy.

Elizabeth recommends the following NEUTROGENA® products for a flawless look:

NEUTROGENA® Nourishing Long Wear Makeup: Obtain smooth, even, long-lasting coverage. This 12-hour long wear makeup instantly erases the look of skin imperfections as it provides natural-looking coverage. Available in 8 different shades.

NEUTROGENA® Healthy Volume Mascara:   This lash-enhancing mascara instantly builds lash volume by 400% creating beautifully full and healthy lashes with a revolutionary sweep of the wand. 

NEUTROGENA® MoistureSmooth Color Stick: Instantly moisturize lips while continuously conditioning them so they are softer and smoother in just 3 days with nothing on them.

NEUTROGENA® Crease Proof Eye Shadow: Revive and brighten eyes with sheer, silky color and built-in primer to prevent creasing and fading.
