I wish someone had told me early on that it was OK to not be passionate or good at every single job in my company. It took me a minute, but I finally realized how overwhelmed I felt and that I NEEDED to pass on back office stuff like payroll and taxes (hey @QuickBooks Payroll 😍). Once you’re out of the weeds on things like that you realize you have WAY more capacity to be creative because you aren’t buried by all the worries, to-dos, and deadlines. So the headline is: get QuickBooks! I love it and find it incredibly helpful, and I know you will too. Sign up today and get 50% off for 3 months ⚡️✨👍🏻😎 @QuickBooks #SmallBizSuccess

Me hubiera encantado que alguien me hubiera dicho desde el principio que estaba bien no ser apasionado ni bueno en todos los trabajos de mi empresa. Me tomó un minuto, pero finalmente me di cuenta de lo abrumado que me sentía y que NECESITABA pasar cosas administrativas como la nómina y los impuestos (hola @QuickBooks Payroll 😍). Una vez que estás libre de problemas en cosas como esa, te das cuenta de que tienes MUCHA más capacidad para ser creativo porque no estás enterrado por todas las preocupaciones, tareas pendientes y plazos. Entonces el titular es: ¡Obtenga QuickBooks! Me encanta y lo encuentro increíblemente útil, y sé que a ti también lo harás.

Abuelita used to make me this soup growing up in Mexico and it is SO good and easy. 💛⚡️ #fyp #sopa #mexico #mexicantiktok #soup #sopadefideo

This is my mom Angela, she lost her home in the Eaton Fires in LA and we in turn lost our childhood home. Its been devastating to see so many people affected by this but her resiliance and gratitude is giving me strength. Please help me spread the word on her go fund me. Its going to take a lot of time and even more money to get her home back to what it once was. 💔

Part 2 of prepping a Thanksgiving feast with me! This season, I teamed up with @wholefoodsmarket which makes it all a little easier for me to manage amongst being an entrepreneur AND a momma, wife and everything else. 😎 My menu a la wholefoods was: ⁃ Roasted butternut squash w/ rosemary and pecans ⁃ Whole Foods pecan and pumpkin pies ⁃ Buttery Parmesan corn (i love to use frozen yellow corn for this) ⁃ mashed potatoes ⁃ Wet brined citrusy 10 lb turkey ⁃ Homemade stuffing ⁃ Roasted sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows And because Thanksgiving is about creating memories together, not just panic cooking. 😅 I also removed the guilt of getting some extra help on everything from pies to flowers to bagged green beans, added my own festive tablecloth, my family into the mix and boom, you’ve got yourself a party- so lean into the joy of an imperfectly perfect Thanksgiving with Whole Foods Market and me. Get all your essentials there - It's a game-changer! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Let's make a Thanksgiving citrusy turkey together with @wholefoodsmarket! ✨First, I hustled over to my local store to get all the ingredients for this 10 lb organic fresh turkey.🦃 Next up is the brine because it literally makes the world of a difference as far as moisture and flavor goes. 🚀⚡️ Water (Enough water to cover turkey in my giant bucket or roughly 16 cups) Salt - 1 lb kosher salt Brown sugar- about 1 cup (I'm rounding up) Black peppercorn Fresh rosemary Couple of lemons sliced Couple of oranges sliced After heating the ingredients briefly till they're warm and the salt is dissolved, let it come to room temp and add your turkey in. Throw it in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. For the turkey, I made a quick marinade with my hand blender and used: 5 sprigs of fresh rosemary minus the stem 1/2 a bunch of oregano 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley A few big shallots 3 garlic cloves Olive oil Salt Rub all that in and then I placed it on top of a sheet tray with a small cooling rack on the bottom so it's not sitting directly on the tray. Then pour a little beef broth from @wholefoodsmarket Let it go at 350 - 1 hour Then turn heat down to 325 for 40 min I covered the wings with aluminum so they didn't burn and basted the whole bird every so often so it stayed moist and magical. When it was all done, I took it out and put it in a cooler with a tight lid so it could finish off in there. I loveeeeee making a turkey like this because it's sooooo juicy and flavorful, it ends up having hints of citrus and honestly everyone eats every last bite.

Fish is one of my favorite things to cook and my secret is using the most incredible wild seafood from Alaska.  This recipe for ginger soy wild Alaska sablefish, also known as black cod, is one of my go-tos. After marinating the rich, buttery, Alaska sablefish for 30 minutes, I pan sear for the most delicious any time meal in minutes. If you #AskforAlaska seafood at the grocery store or at a restaurant, you can feel good about buying it because all seafood from Alaska is sustainably harvested and wild-caught. That’s why I’ve partnered with @AlaskaSeafood to show you more ways to prepare it at home. To celebrate cooking wild, Alaska Seafood is giving you a chance to win one of these limited-edition seafood @hedleyandbennett aprons, a year’s supply of wild Alaska seafood, and a virtual cooking class if you share how you #CookWild!
