The #BOOitForward DIY Halloween Package #ad #CollectiveBias

I’m so exited my favorite time of the year is almost here, and this year my family and I are making a very fun and different way to celebrate with our families and friends. And todays idea is perfect to give to your neighbors, because nothing say Happy Halloween like a personal and fun craft.

So let me walk you in this super easy process, the first step is to go to your nearest Walmart and buy all the materials needed. I personally recommend the MARS® chocolates, and the soda brand 7UP® and Sunkist®, then you can shop around by the decoration for Halloween section, where you will find these products and beautiful bags or boxes for this project.

I found in this section, these cute boxes with bags, which seemed perfect because they where the perfect size for my super cute monster can and some chocolates, of course don’t forget about the Printable “We’ve Been BOO’D”, you can find this fun and easy to follow printable here at BOO CENTER, where you can print your own is super easy just follow the instructions. Save $1.00 on TWO (2) 2L or 6pk 8oz cans of any flavor Sunkist® Soda, 7UP®, Canada Dry®, A&W®, Squirt®, or Sun Drop®

  • Cut out this “We’ve been BOO’d” sign.
  • Fold the “You’ve been BOO’d” greeting card (page 2) and tape openings together.
  • Include the card and sign when gifting BOO bundles.

For your craft, well I used the pumpkin boxes, and I add one monster can, some candy and the We’ve been Boo’d card and my daughters and I went to my friend’s house Dulce and left the goodies, at this point I don’t think she know who left the “You’ve been BOO’d” card but I’m sure they enjoy all the candy and sodas we place in there from door. I just hope they had fun just like we did.

Dracula Wine Jelly #SundaySupper

Posted on by

Dracula Wine Jelly #SundaySupper 1I’m so honored to be a brand ambassador for Gallo Family Vineyards and of course to be part of the amazing Sunday Supper family.

We are bringing to you the delicious, strong but subtle flavors of Merlot and Red Moscato, perfect for the holiday season. Both are ideal to pair with any of your creations this year. These are just fantastic wines, fruity, packed in flavor but also delicate.

But let me tell you with all the parties to attend or to start planning this is definitely the time to start creating with these delicious wines.

Celebrate with us this and also try my recipe featuring Gallo Family Red Moscato. A spooky and grown up approach to a childhood favorite. This jelly is perfect to be paired with cheese just like Gallo Family Wines.

I decided to make a jelly because I want it to offer a different and unique way to feature the Red Moscato Wine. The flavors in the wine like citrus, peach and berries are a fabulous complement to all kinds of cheese or if you want to top a piece of baked ham.
The Red Moscato Jelly is perfect to serve at a dinner party, with crackers, figs, or as a complement on a Charcuterie board.

The Red Moscato is a fruity sweet delicious wine, and is perfect to complement any meal, but when you use the wine in a jelly or a sauce the flavor enhance more and you can have a glance of a different taste. All the berries and peach are highlighted in a very different and delicious way. This is why I enjoy and love to cook with Gallo Family Wines: they are not only for drinking but you can also enjoy them in a recipe.
