Perfect Pumpkin Pie Mango Smoothie Ready to drink!

This perfect pumpkin pie mango smoothie is the perfect treat to kick the new year off with. The pumpkin paired with mango is such a fun and unexpected combination. I love this smoothie and it’s the perfect winter day treat for a little taste of summer.

When Melissa’s Produce sent me some Australian Mangoes I knew I wanted try a smoothie with one of them. I must say, Wow! These mangoes are perfect for smoothies! They are fiberless, creamy like a custard, sweet and super flavorful. These Australian beauties will shock you with their lusciousness! Perfect for smoothies, salads, salsas, or just all on its own!

‘Call Your Mother’ ABC’S Newest Comedy

By Erin

Call Your Mother Cellphone
CALL YOUR MOTHER -(ABC)

“Call Your Mother” is the newest comedy to premiere Wednesday, January 13th (9:30-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. It’s a coming of (middle) age journey you can’t miss! It’s also the comedy we all need right now during these trying times that will bring a smile to your face and laughter to your heart. 💜 ♥️ ❤️

Jean, an empty-nester mom, wonders how she ended up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles away. She decides her place is with her family, and as she reinserts herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her more than they thought. 

The series stars Kyra Sedgwick as Jean Raines, Rachel Sennott as Jackie Raines, Joey Bragg as Freddie Raines, Emma Caymares as Celia, Austin Crute as Lane and Patrick Brammall as Danny. Kari Lizer is the creator and executive producer; Tim Kaiser and Pam Fryman serve as executive producers on the series. “Call Your Mother” is from Sony Pictures Television & ABC Signature.

Call Your Mother Cast

 I had the chance to watch the newest episode the other day and take part in a zoom interview with the cast afterwards. Here are a few fun things they shared with us.

*The creator of the show, Kari Lizer chose the state of Iowa for the show because she loves it there. Her son worked in Iowa and the people are so nice there. It seemed like a good place to come from rather than LA.

*Ripper the dog’s real name is Orbit and he is just an actor. As much as everyone loves him and say he brings great therapy to all on the set, he is NOT a therapy dog.

Kari Lizer, the producer hopes that everyone will find the show funny and bring a smile to their face and laugh. People have lost connection during the pandemic. This is a show where people find each other again and make new connections. 

Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu

Pinkglow Pineapple Hibiscus Mimosas

Experience a taste of a remote paradise with this pink-hued majestic wonder. The Pinkglow™ pink pineapple has a delicious and unique taste, with notes of candy pineapple aromatics. They come in the most beautiful packaging too. This pineapple REALLY is treated like royalty! Fun fact: It is also less sour than a traditional pineapple, juicier and sweeter in taste!

Pinkglow™ pink pineapples grow on a select farm in the South-Central region of Costa Rica, which has the ideal soil and climate for growing pineapples. Fresh Del Monte has been developing and testing the Pinkglow™ pink pineapple for over 16+ years to ensure the perfect taste and aromas, creating a blend that’s just right.

What sustainability measures is Fresh Del Monte taking? Fresh Del Monte Produce is currently planting the Pinkglow™ pineapple crowns in an effort to increase the volume of Pinkglow™ pink pineapple crops and reduce waste. Did you know that Fresh Del Monte is the only company to grow this unique pink pineapple variety?

*Hawaii prohibits the shipment of any pineapple into their state.*
Making a Pinkglow Pineapple Hibiscus Mimosa is SUPER easy and you only need 3 things to make it with. A Pinkglow Pineapple, Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup and your favorite champagne.

Then you just carefully put one of the Hibiscus flowers with a little bit of the syrup in the bottom of each glass, cut and juice a quarter or two of your pineapple (depending on how much juice to champagne ratio you desire and how many glasses you are making), then top off with your favorite champagne! Garnish the side of the glass with a piece of Pinkglow Pineapple to make it look really fancy. Now you have a beautiful pink glass of bubbly to ring the new year in with! CHEERS!

Are you ready for your own Pinkglow pineapple now? 😉 You can go here to purchase some!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
