My party with Ranch! #HVRanchers

When I first found out I got selected to host a Ranch party I was so excited because we have been Hidden Valley fans since forever! I've a nice party kit which included 1 cool Team Ranch T-shirt, 1 bottle of hidden Valley Original Ranch dressing, 3 packets of hidden Valley Original Ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix and 1 party insert letting me know the details about activities and recipes to make during the party! 

I decided to make the original Ranch Roasted potatoes. Well, let me tell you I was surprised it only took me 15 min of prep. to make this delicious recipe as a side dish! (Which I'm making for the holidays now, love EASY and YUMMY). Here's the recipe so you can try it out at home! Trust me, you will love it and your kids too!

Ranch Roasted potatoes recipe:

1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
2 Lb. Small red potatoes quartered.

1 Packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix.

Just place the potatoes in a food storage bag (I used a big bowl - I like shaking and smelling what's good). Then, add oil - seal the bag and toss to coat - After so, get the seasoning mix and toss again until coated. Place on ungreased baking pan at 450*F for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are brown! (It took me 30 minutes). 

I found it very easy to make, the smell was all over my place and when my guests arrived were wondering what I was making because they were drooling just to smell the seasoning I cooked with! That's Ranch baby! 

We were sharing tips and ideas about other ways to use the Hidden Valley Original Ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix and one of the top list recipes from one of my friends was making sausages with the seasoning as a side dish for a party which sounded easy, delicious and kid friendly too. So looking forward to do that! Will post about it soon. 

Here's the recipe idea with the franks and seasoning:

1 package of large franks, cut into 4 pieces, add the Ranch seasoning mix and then fry or roast in the oven for 15 min.  You may also serve this with Ranch salad dressing (The original). Salivating as I type! haha. 

I really enjoy easy to make recipes because I'm always in a hurry with so much to do! I get invited to so many holidays events and usually bring a side dish or dessert. These recipe ideas come in a perfect time to delight my friends with Ranch!

Drink Drip Drop for the whole family!

I'm excited to be included in the @DripDrop program from @shespeaksup. #DrinkDripDrop #spon.

 I recently got the product to try it out at home with my family and I have to say it's been a success. We've tried the berry flavor and I definitely love it! My daughter JJ who is two years old has been feeling a little bit down with a cold and she refused to eat. She has tried others hydrated drinks in the past and she wont like it a bit, the tastes is not something she will like to drink every time she gets sick and put this mamma in a hurry trying everything out! 

Well, surprise! @DripDrop worked just great. It tastes TOTALLY different, it's more like a berry juice than a "hydrated yucky taste drink". My little girl was from being in a quiet mood to start playing again with a good mood! I'd highly recommend this products to all parents out there! Give it a try!

I also helped out one of my neighbors since she has a 14 months old with teething pain, we truly know how irritable babies get when is about that! I gave her 3 of my @DripDrop hydration powder because her little guy wasn't in the mood to eat or drink milk! She was afraid he faced dehydration due to lack of rest and fluids. She was concerded because of the artificial colors and flavors. I was happy to tell her I was scared of giving my daughter artificial drinks as well and I clarified that @DripDrop has NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Happy moms all the way! 

It's very simple to mix, just get 8oz of water and add one packet of your favorite DripDrop flavor  -stir until disolved-  It has a delicious taste, smooth texture, it's been medical aproved and  it's used by leading hospitals and pediatricians. One good thing is "MADE IN USA" How cool is that?. I love products made in my country! 

DripDrop formula delivers 2-3 times the electrolytes of sport drinks and it's specially formulated for children over 12 months old, adults and seniors! It helps prevents dehydration resulting from vomiting, diarrhea and excessive sweating. As parents, we are always concern when we go trough this issues and @DripDrop has come to the rescue!
