Hosting A Stress Free Yummy Tamalada with El Gallo Giro #tamalada #tamaleseason #ElGalloGiro

Hosting a Tamalada aka Tamale Making Gathering

Don't Stress you can buy all the fixings to make your tamales at home or you can just buy amazingly tasty tamales... both made possible by our fave El Gallo Giro.

You can make it a friends and family thing or just make some tamales yourself, it really is calming and fun. For me it became an effort to make the perfect tamale.

Thanks to El Gallo Giro for sponsoring the delish fixings for our tamalada. All opinions are my own.

My Easy steps and tips..

* get your premade masa from El Gallo Giro ( my closest location is Santa Ana)



* get corn husks & soak for 1 hour

* pick and prep a filling for the tamales

* add a salsa for spice or flavor



* spread masa

Easy Fast Chili for a Busy Night

Quick and Easy Dinner - Good Year-Round!

Winter is the best time to make crock pot meals. I love using my crock pot but sometimes I am not prepared to use it. Sometimes I still need to piece together my meal and get to it after the kids are dropped off and my day can officially begin. 

This is one fast and easy Chili you can do from prep to table in 25 minutes. I love to let my Chili sit for a bit but this is just as yummy in a short amount of time spent.
