Easy Breakfast Solutions from El Monterey


El Monterey Breakfast Burritos

I LOVE breakfast!  I can literally eat it any time of day, and the same goes for the rest of the family.  Previously I’ve discussed recipes and products that I can cook up in a moment’s notice for the myself and the boys, and when it comes to eating breakfast, I could never have enough simple options on hand! Enter El Monterey!

We love their burritos!  I make their beef & bean burritos at least once a week for Noah for a quick meal or afternoon snack.  As I was grocery shopping last week, I saw an endcap freezer full of their El Monterey Breakfast Supreme Burritos, and I decided to take a look!  Right now you can take advantage of this $1 off Coupon offer and try them for yourself.

Simply Fruit Punch Mocktails and Simply Juice Drinks Giveaway

 

Simply Juice Bottle

Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon:  a sunny sky and temperatures in the upper 60s.  I’m definitely looking forward to more days like this!  It gives my husband and I the chance to just sit on the front porch or the backyard deck and watch the world go by!  Of course, this scene would not be complete without a cool, refreshing drink in our hands!  Just last week I picked up some Simply Juice Drinks for this very purpose.

Friday Favorites – Week 258 – Featuring Our New Co-Hosts

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Favorites. We’re going to be changing things up a bit this week. Normally I, of course, feature a few of my favorite posts from the previous week’s party, but this week I’m excited to welcome 2 new co-hosts to the party!  What this means to you is that you’ll have a chance to be featured not just on my blog, but also the other hostesses’ blogs!  Plus, with the new hostesses on board, we should have an influx of new bloggers joining in on the fun each week

In honor of this first shared / co-hosted party, I thought it would be fun to let all the co-hostesses introduce themselves and feature a favorite post from their own blog!

So let’s get started! [Read more…]

Get the Max Out of Your Tax Refund

 Tax season is in full swing!  While the task of getting your documents organized and actually filing on time can be quite daunting, a lot of us can find peace of mind knowing that one day a lovely refund check (or electronic refund) will be headed our way!  So let’s think about that refund for a moment.  How would/will you spend yours?  There are so many options, from redecorating the homestead to investing in a new cell phone!  Today I will explore just a few.

Friday Favorites – Week 253 – With Breakfast Recipe Ideas + Call for Co-Hosts & Contributors

friday favorites

Welcome to Friday Favorites!  I have just a couple of announcements before we get to this week’s party.  First of all, if you’re coming in early tonight, there’s still time to enter my giveaway for a $200 gift certificate to Lush Decor!

Also, I’m hoping to collaborate with more bloggers in the future.  One way I want to do this is by adding a co-host to this linky party OR combining this party with another ( if someone out there already hosts a party and is also wanting a co-host or a combined party).

And then I’d also like more guest post contributors to do food posts or provide content in other areas.  I’m looking for folks I can contact when I need guest posts for a special events like (Mother’s Day, Summer Recipes, Back to School Ideas, etc.) or anyone who’d just like to contribute on a regular basis.  It’s not a paid position but it’s a good opportunity to add to your portfolio and get extra traffic for your blog.  Also, if you become an ongoing contributor,  I’ll feature you on a special “contributor page.”   If you’d like to be a guest blogger in the future or a linky part co-host, simply fill out the Sign Up Form.
