Celebrate Tradition At Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament Show #MTCelebrate #medievaltimes #mtfan #sponsored

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament Never Disappoints!

A tradition for our family for over 30 years to celebrate at our local Medieval Times Castle with drinks, cheers, food and entertaining fun.

 

 

This winter break we wanted to take a moment and enjoy one another company and time off with a visit to Medieval Times. 

Both of my kids love to see the jousting, horses, cheer their Knight and of course feast on the Queens food. 

This visit we are celebrating winter fun, tradition, family, early birthday & the holidays thanks to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park ! All opinions are my own.

I celebrated many birthdays at the Castle in Buena Park and I love that the kids enjoy it as much now as I did then.

Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes early to secure the best seat available. There are VIP packages you can upgrade to as well. 

Celebrating something? You can be knighted by the Queen or you can even purchase a scroll with announcement during the show. 

With so many options to add on extra fun you fan really make the most of your visit in your own style.

We kind of look for any opportunity or celebration to have an excuse to visit Medieval Times,  we just love it.

Save your appetite for chicken, corn and potato that follows your dragon soup.

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

Our favorites of course were the Studio Tour and Transformers.

We absolutely never miss Wizarding World of Harry Potter. During the Holidays the Castle has the most beautiful light display. You can see more of that on my social media here.

It makes us feel like we are in the movies and the light show is brilliant for the holidays on Hogwarts Castle!

On The Go Tamales In Hand from Miguel's Jr #MyMiguelsJr Makes it Easy to Dine Tamale Happy

So It's  No Secret Wr Are Huge Tamale Fans... Thanks to Miguel's Jr. We Soccer Night in Tamale Style!

Have you heard the news?! 

Mary's tamale bundle is here...



Thanks to Miguel's Jr. for hooking us up with a tasty treat of a family meal. All opinions are my own.

 

What?! I know! Mary's Tamale bundle, a complete meal for 4 featuring 6 tamales, 4 drinks, and chips and salsa is perfect for on the go peeps like us.

Tis the season for tamales and we loved them. 

Since we make, buy and eat tamales we love to try others for flavor and quality. 

We thought that Miguel's Jr. Tamale pack was filling, tasty and bot dry, a bonus on that flavor too. I am picky when it comes to how the masa sticks or well does NOT stick to the corn husk and how dry tamales can be. These were perfectly tasty and to my style.

If you are in a rush this holiday season or need to bring a dish to share.. grab some tamales. They are so easy to cut up and share with a group & everyone loves them!

We have had soccer 3 to 4 nights a week lately so this is the perfect meal to take a break with and have ready to eat. Everyone loved it.

Happy eating my foodie friends....
