This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jamba Juice for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I love juices. They are such an awesome way to get in a ton of fruits and vegetables without having to cook and eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables. Fruit and vegetable juices have become my go to for weekday lunches because they are so easy and taste delicious. Recently, I stopped by our local Jamba Juice to try their Fresh Squeezed Juices on my way to a meeting.

I am thrilled to partner with Pringles® to share with you a new product they have released. As always, while this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
With the temperatures constantly struggling to get above freezing here, I am totally dream of summer and the warm temperatures. I’m sure once it arrives I will want a reprieve but for now sunshine and warm breezes sounds wonderful. During spring and summer, we like to make aqua frescas and quick snacks to enjoy on the deck while our dinner cooks on the grill. My favorite is horchata.

Snacks. They are totally my weakness. I am almost always on the go so snacks tend to become my meals and meals never actually happen. I always look for snacks that are easy to carry along with me and taste great. If they have a little crunch and sweetness to them, like this triple berry granola, then the snack is a total winner.

It is no secret that I love Mexican food. Just about any Friday evening, you can find me at the local Mexican restaurant digging into guacamole and a margarita. When we were in Vegas, a friend saw Pozole {also known as Posole} on the buffet and asked me about it. I realized at that point that I had never actually had it! So, of course, I grabbed a bowl and tried it. I couldn’t leave it behind in Vegas though so I decided to make it at home too.

This post brought to you by Malaysia Kitchen for the World. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Just Us Four.
I love trying new foods. I grew up in a really small town where the local Chinese joint was considered “exotic.” When I moved into a larger city with access to all kinds of cuisine, I really embraced them all and spent quite a bit of time trying all the different restaurants. One that I hadn’t had before and really wanted to try before was Malaysian cuisine. I couldn’t find a local restaurant to try easily so I thought I would attempt to make a dish at home inspired by the flavors of Malaysia. These Malaysian Chicken Meatballs were the result of some experimenting and I absolutely love how they came out.

I am so excited to share with you my newest donut flavor as a way to highlight delicious TruMoo’s Limited Edition Chocolate Marshmallow Milk. As always, even though this post may be sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I love donuts. There, I totally admitted it. No matter how much I love eating clean and enjoying all the real foods of Whole30, I still have a soft spot for a delicious donut. Of course, I am always trying to think of new donuts to try {as if Red Velvet, Eggnog and Peppermint Mocha weren’t enough}. This time, I am taking aim at one of my favorite childhood desserts and making s’mores donuts.

There are days when you just crave comfort food. Gooey, cheesy and delicious comfort food like a grilled cheese sandwich. I love making grilled cheese sandwiches at home and playing around with the ingredients and types of cheese that go inside. After our party for the big game, I had some leftover candied cayenne bacon and knew it was going in a grilled cheese. That is how this turkey bacon grilled cheese came to be my favorite new lunch sandwich.

I’m proud to partner with CVS/pharmacy as a Gold Emblem Super Bowl Party Host. I am being sponsored to help lead this campaign, but all opinions expressed are my own, and all product claims or program details shared should be verified at CVS.com or with the appropriate manufacturers.
Have you recovered from the aftermath of the BIG game? Between all of the talks about the plays, the commercials and, of course, the food, I think I have finally covered all the topics I wanted to discuss with friends about the big game. My favorite topic: the food. And, even though the party is over, there are plenty other games in other sports to come so I wanted to share my top 10 sports party foods based on what we had at my Super Bowl party.

Red velvet cheesecake brownies are hands down my favorite type of dessert. I love it when Valentine’s Day rolls around because it means that red velvet is so much easier to find. Of course, for me, red velvet treats have to come with cream cheese or they just aren’t “right.”
