A Blogger's Morning Made Better With Honey Nut Cheerios & Usher

A big thanks to the folks at General Mills  for sponsoring and providing the tasty and fun inspiration for today's post.  All opinions expressed below are my own.

Have you all ever wondered what the morning of a blogger really looks like?

I am here to tell you all that even us food bloggers are not up at the crack of dawn baking perfectly domed muffins for our family.  I mean, sometimes we are... but that is usually when we have a recipe post deadline. ;)

Most of my mornings actually look exactly like what you see pictured above.  A cup of hot coffee and a bowl of cold cereal... and my laptop. Almost every breakfast for me is a "working" breakfast.  I enjoy a few cups of coffee while returning emails, scheduling social media posts for the day, checking in with my blogger friends on Facebook, editing photos, and whatever else happens to be on my blogging to-do list for that morning.

But recently my morning routine got shook up just a little thanks to Honey Nut Cheerios and Usher...

Family Dinner-In with HERDEZ® Frozen Bowls & Mockagaritas

Thank you to the makers of HERDEZ® Cocina Mexicana Frozen Bowls for sponsoring and providing the tasty inspiration for today's post.  All opinions expressed below are my own.

You all know by now that most evenings of the week I cook for my family.

But let's keep it real- there are definitely nights when I don't feel like cooking.

Or nights when the day has been so trying and busy that I am tempted to pick up a pizza or take-out.  Not the healthiest or most budget friendly choice though.

I mean, what I really want to do on most evenings like those is take off for the local Mexican restaurant for dinner and margaritas, but that just isn't always in the budget for us.

That is why I am so glad that I recently discovered HERDEZ® Cocina Mexicana Frozen Bowls in the freezer section at my local grocery store.  

I will admit it- I am always skeptical of frozen meals. Often times, they are just okay or downright blech. But other times, you hit a tasty frozen food jackpot.

And these Herdez Frozen Bowls are one of those rare jackpots, folks. ;)

I was really impressed with the Beef Barbacoa Bowl- tasty, perfectly seasoned tender chunks of beef served alongside Spanish style rice. 

To make family dinner-in with HERDEZ® Cocina Mexicana Frozen Bowls a little more fun, I came up with a kid friendly Mockagarita recipe to share with you all...
