Del Real Review PLUS win a Party in a box!

I have to admit. I declined to eat Mexican food all the way up until the age of 15. And even then when I tried it (being not authentic and "fast food") at the time, I was not impressed. Obviously, I did not make the right choice for my taste test. It hit a sour note and I was sketchy thereafter. As I got older (as we all do) my pallet changed. Decided to give Mexican food another try. This time going to actual restaurants and authentic places. I do not consider myself an expert but, my Husband LOVES carnitas. Something I had to learn to make in order to make him happy.

When I was offered the opportunity to review Del Real Foods, I was a little skeptical. It was a decision I can to my Husband with and of course if you know my Husband, you know what the answer was.

I received the HUGE box in less than a week. It was filled with all sorts of goodies, enough to make either a feast for a Holiday or dinner plans for weeks to come. I chose to split up the entrees. Shocker, my Husband decided we should try the carnitas first. Can I tell you a secret? It was the best carnitas I have ever had, anywhere period. Not dry, not salty. The perfect blend of seasonings. I was almost scared everything else in the box was not going to live up to this. Gleefully, I was wrong. The cheese and Green chile tamales were the kids after school favorite!
The Arroz rice was enough to save for two meals and I have never had a decent store-bought rice until now! Del Real knows their food. Fresh beyond compare it has a "use by" that makes sense. Not like other brands that date their food to 2018. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING I reviewed was yummy. Www.delrealfoods.com has turned this skeptic into a believer! The only thing missing was the tortillas!
Now to the awesome part. If you have read along this far then, you are in for a MEGA treat! I was blessed to be able to give away one of Del Real's "Party in a box"! You heard me right. You will receive a variation of the above photo. (PiƱata included)! Right to your doorstep will arrive a fiesta in a box! Read carefully, all you have to do is get on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, e-mail or even Vine. Find me (usually under Dvldoll) tag me and hashtag #DelRealFoods by November 23, 2014 and your in it to win it! I will choose a winner at midnight (westcoast time) and your Fiesta will be on it's way!
 
By the way, if you check out www.DelRealFoods.com you have to check out their YouTube recipes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween filled with treats for all. Personally I feel like my daughter and her friends did a pretty terrific job on their costumes. My daughter is the DOTD on the right. All three costumes were age appropriate and throughout the night the received compliments for all ages! I loved hearing younger girls telling their Moms "That's what I want to be next year!" The weeks of searching paid off! We found costumes that were #1 fun and #2 comfy!

 

Compared to the 80's abundance of cat and pirate costumes, kids are getting a lot more creative these days. Yes, pictured above is yours truly as a black cat and my older brother on the right as your typical one eyed, mustache, one hoop earring pirate. Gotta love Halloween 2014.

Sunni had a yummy Baskin Robbins "pumpkin" ice cream cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream. Living in Vegas, ice cream cakes around Halloween are still very welcomed! Sunni had a blast playing games and crafting with her friends for her Halloween themed Birthday party "re-do". Diving for worms, crayon melted mini pumpkins, face mask decorating, and a marathon of Halloweentown! The girls had a blast and we just may turn this into a yearly shindig! Since this was our very first Halloween party I think it turned out excellent. If you have any suggestions to make our party next year even greater please feel free to e-mail me. I love hearing ways to improve on crafts and games maybe one that you've experienced and impressed your britches off! I'll have to tell you all about our glow in the dark mason jars we made. I still need to tweak it a little bit. Having a few problems getting the glow to last longer.

ARE WE ALREADY IN NOVEMBER?
