  • ✨Turning lemons into lemonade is basically where we’re at. ✨ And by that I mean, eating them whole and following it up with a spoonful of sugar chaser. 🍋 Things may feel bleak as we look down the barrel of another week at home but in the words of @nygovcuomo, “Let’s kick Coronavirus’s ass!” We are doing this friends. Stay strong 💪🏼. And if you need recipe inspiration I’ve got 10 new ones to try from some of my favorite cooks live on the site (clickable link in my profile). https://www.holajalapeno.com/10-recipes-to-try-this-week-3-29-20/ . . . . #mealprepideas #mealplanningmadeeasy #meyerlemon #healthyish #recipeshare #thekitchn #holajalapeno #foodblogeats #venacomer #huffposttaste #cagrown #comidamexicana #buzzfeast #foodwinewomen #ABMfoodie #eeeeeats #allrecipes #eattheworld #feedfeed #mywilliamssonoma #beautifulcuisines #venturacalifornia #onmytable #bhgstylemaker
  • There’s been a familiarity in the last couple weeks. Like a catapult that’s shot the four of us back to our tiny house in rural North Dakota in the dead of winter ❄️. Although now we aren’t stuck at home because it’s -32 degrees F outside but because there’s a worldwide pandemic—clearly a much bigger deal. In the North Dakota days when we had played all the games and baked all the cookies and watched all the movies, when we just HAD to get out of the house, we’d go for a “drive-walk”. 🚙💨 It’s like going for a walk, but you know, you can’t, because it’s too damn cold or you’re tired of walking and want to go further. It’s also similar to going for a drive except you wander about with no real direction mostly just listening to music and looking for random junk people have left in their front lawns with a “Free” sign on it. Yesterday we piled in the truck and went for our first Drive-Walk in a very long time. It’s a retreat I highly recommend. Stay well friends and have a good weekend. 💕 Kate . . . #hugthemoment #thehappynow #thatsdarling #familyiseverything #familyadventures #familygathering #beautifulmatters #theartofslowliving #momlifebelike #togetherathome #ohheymama #instagood #familytrip #documentlife #habitandhome #holajalapeno #socalstyle #pursuepretty #flashesofdelight #thepursuitofjoyproject #ventura

Wait a minute, what day is it again? 🤪 Anyhoo, head on over to the site for 10 recipe ideas that’ll get you pumped to make dinner, like @inspiredbycharm’s Campari Sangria 😉🍹. JK, there’s actual food recipes too. Like Sopa de Tortilla from @saltandwind, Shrimp and Roasted Green Salsa from @mamalatina, and Arroz con Pollo from @acozykitchen (which I made today and it was 👌🏻✨). I’ve been leaning hard on these weekly recipe roundups for dinner inspiration. They are such a great resource to have on hand. Just search 10 Recipes To Try on my site and see what I mean and check out my stories to see what I’ve made so far. Then click over to the link in my profile for this week’s favorites, plus a recipe for these Blueberry Coconut Banana Pancakes that will make tomorrow morning feel down right tropical 🍌🌴 🥥 . https://www.holajalapeno.com/10-recipes-to-try-this-week-3-22-20/ . . . . #blueberrypancakes #mealplanningmadeeasy #mealprepideas #healthyish #dairyfreepancakes #thekitchn #holajalapeno #foodblogeats #bananapancakes #huffposttaste #cagrown #coconutpancakes #buzzfeast #foodwinewomen #ABMfoodie #eeeeeats #allrecipes #eattheworld #feedfeed #mywilliamssonoma #beautifulcuisines #venturacalifornia #onmytable #bhgstylemaker
  • I did all our shopping today for at least the next week and now that we are all buying in bulk much more than usual. I thought I’d share a few tips for keeping perishable things like fresh herbs, meat, and vegetables last longer. • Wash fresh herbs 🌿 like cilantro, then wrap in paper towels and put back in the plastic bag. Stored in the veggie bin, it should last a week. • I bought enough meat 🥩 for a whole week but only refrigerated what we would eat tonight and tomorrow. The rest went in the freezer. • Heads of lettuce 🥬 get washed and dried with the salad spinner. I keep mine in the salad spinner in the fridge or wrap in paper towels like the herbs and place in a plastic bag if I don’t have room. What are your best food storage tips? Leave me a comment below and let me know 👇🏼 . . . . . . . #cookingtips #foodhacks #cilantro #healthyish #mexicanfoodporn #thekitchn #holajalapeno #foodblogeats #venacomer #huffposttaste #cagrown #comidamexicana #buzzfeast #foodwinewomen #ABMfoodie #eeeeeats #allrecipes #eattheworld #feedfeed #mywilliamssonoma #beautifulcuisines #venturacalifornia #onmytable #bhgstylemaker

  • ✨Hey Friends ✨ How are you holding up? Wanted to share something to brighten up your day 🌺 and see how I can help make your lives a bit easier during these stressful times. I’ll continue to match recipes with what is in your fridge and pantries in my stories. Links to all the recipe suggestions can be found by clicking the link in my profile. 😘 I’ve also got a new #10recipestotry up on the site with some delicious dinner ides from some of my favorite food friends. (Link in profile) 💕 Listen, this is the moment your food blogger community has been training for. So I think I can speak for all of us when I say, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. We know cooking 3 meals a day, everyday is daunting for most people. So lean on us. Ask questions. Let’s do this together. 😊 Lastly, for all the parents out there: go easy on yourselves. 💓 Don’t get intimidated by these “homeschooling schedules”. Do your best to keep your kids enriched but if they are stressing you out, there’s nothing wrong with putting on a movie. 🍿 It’s way more important that they feel comforted and loved, than educated right now. Drop me a comment below and let me know what you need, ‘Kay? Stay well.
