Why we love to #SnackBrighter with Outshine Bars #sponsored

With the final days of school coming really fast I’m always looking for healthy snack alternatives for my girls. And let me tell you here in San Diego the weather is starting to get warmer and warmer every day. So when I’m looking for a refreshing, healthy and delicious alternative snack I know that Outshine Bars are a great option.

So after school is very typical that we go to our local grocery store to buy some of the different flavors that Outshine Bars have and we love them all, my husband enjoys the yogurt bars and my girls are a big fan of the fruity flavors, my favorite is pineapple, but sometimes coconut just hit the spot.

Okay, here are a few recommendations for those afterschool afternoons.

1- Take advantage of the long afternoons. Bring your kids outside, and enjoy the wonderful weather. This will help them better to deal with homework and chores.

2- Have some Outshine Bars on hand. Because Fruit Bars are made with real fruit or fruit juice and No GMO ingredients.

3- Make it at leat once a week a special fun day. Choose a day of the week that you feel is great for a game, the pool, the park, snacks and of course laugh and happiness.

You can make the last days of schools the best ones ever, and the only thing you need is just the perfect and healthy snack. Outshine Bars are the perfect treat everybody love.

Honeydew Melon Parfait #farmfreshtotable #WeaveMade #ad

There are some weeks when is impossible for me to go to the farmers market for a number of reasons, and I love to buy fresh local fruit and veggies all the time, and completely miss the freshness when I can’t go. I recently came across this great service call Farm Fresh To You and totally change the way I bought our fruits and veggies. I love this service because they do all the leg work, you know by collecting the fresh fruits and veggies just for you and deliver it to your door; if you don’t think this is amazing well I don’t know what to tell you.#farmfreshtotable #WeaveMade #ad 2

It is even better they have all these different boxes for you to choose, only fruit, only veggies, or a mix of the two, the prices are great and the product it is really fresh, picking the best quality during the early morning and putting it on your door the same day. Choose your box size and delivery schedule. For each box, you can add items you want and remove those you don’t.

#farmfreshtotable #WeaveMade #ad

It is amazing how many different products came in my box, like, corn, cucumber, beets, greens, carrots, peaches; so many that we almost eat the entire box the same day. I used most of my veggies in different recipes for lunch and dinner, like salads, and the fruits, well my daughters completely eat them all, with the exception of the honeydew melon, that I save for this delicious parfait for breakfast.

I really love this service and I’m sure you are going to love it too, Click here to see if they deliver to your area and to make you more excited about this great service please use this promo code KATH7515 to save $15 in your first box.

I have been using this wonderful coffee maker for a while and is the best thing ever, it makes delicious coffee and is so easy to use. I, personality love the looks and the different way to brew my coffee every morning and afternoon.

Gimme Jimmy's Cookies #Freshness #Review

I got a delicious tin of Gimmee Jimmy’s Cookies and let me tell you, this is one of the best cookies I have tried. The challenge for us, taste the freshness each day. So we need it to eat one each day to see how everything was going, my job is so hard :).

On day one, I just could not resist eating about 3 with my cup of coffee and my girls definitely enjoy them too. The only downfall I have is that some of the cookies were broken, but either way, we eat them all.

GJCookies #review

By day 4 the cookies were still fresh and delicious, one key element is to keep the cookies in the original tin, this will keep them with zero expose to any element that can make them soft.

By day 7 most of the cookies were gone, but the freshness was still there, I kept some for more time and let me tell you, the cookies were delicious, fresh and full of flavors.

I really want to encore you to buy and try Gimmee Jimmy’s Cookies. Check out their website for more information and here are their social channels.

HOMEMADE BREAD

There’s nothing better in the world than to come home to find on the table freshly bake bread.

For that reason I want to give you this recipe that has been in my family for years and I have enjoyed countless times.

INGREDIENTS

7 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 cup warm water
1 1 / 2 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter
4 eggs
1 tablespoon salt

DIRECTIONS

In a saucepan over medium heat put milk, salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar, when boiling add the butter and turn off the heat.
When the mixture is completely cool add the eggs and beat well. In a separate bowl place the water with the yeast, let stand for 5 minutes (the yeast is active when you see bubbles and foam are formed on the surface).
Add yeast to the bowl of a mixer with a hook attach.
At low speed add the egg mixture and allow it to incorporate good fence followed this adding the flour gradually until mixture forms a ball.
Remove the dough and knead for 10 minutes until uniform and smooth.
Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise for 1 hour (I recommend you do it within the oven off since this is an area that has an ideal temperature).
Once you remove it is grown, knead a bit and make small balls, place balls on a platter, let rise again for half an hour, bathe with melted butter.

Bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees.

This recipe makes 24 rolls.
