About the Film
Two sisters and their father move from the city to the country to live with their grandmother. On her farm, they miraculously discover and befriend a baby unicorn named Rocco. Rocco has magical powers and gives the girls a little bit of luck, hijinks and a lot of laughter, which makes the adjustment to their new home and school easier. But when the local good for nothing cowboys learn about the magical unicorn, the gang steals Rocco to use his powers for themselves. The sisters must embark on a fun western adventure to save Rocco in this original story full of heart, humor and magical adventures – perfect for the whole family.
Our Unicorn Viewing Party!
My niece LOVES unicorns so when she saw all the unicorn things her face lit up and she got a huge smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to become a Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty!
We enjoyed all the rainbow unicorn treats and cupcakes at our viewing party!
It’s Labor Day, and it’s like 10 million degrees outside! Normally I’d be all about being outside and grilling up something delicious. I originally had wanted to make something else for this post out on the grill. But that was before I knew it was going to be an oven outside and the thought of going out in the backyard and melting in this miserable heat isn’t at the top of my list of things to do. I just wanted something easy, cool, refreshing, and delicious to enjoy on this day. When my friend told me her family had just caught some Bonito out near Catalina and if I’d like some, I knew then exactly what I wanted to make for this heat wave. POKE! The bonito mixed with some rice, tropical fruit and other veggies from Melissa’s Produce would make for some amazing poke bowls!
Poke bowls are super easy to make and are very customizable to each individual persons tastes. It can be inventive. You can use different fish and lots of fruit and vegetables or you can also use shrimp or other seafood instead. Just make it colorful!! You eat with your eyes first! 😉
Ingredients
Sushi grade bonito, tuna, salmon or other fresh fish. Cut up into cubes. If you want to make a vegetarian or vegan version then you could use some tofu.
Other ingredients you could use: grated ginger, sesame seeds, sriracha sauce. You can add pretty much any other fruits, veggies, or sauces that you think will add to the flavor of the bowl that you like.
In a separate bowl, take your fish that you have cut into cubes and mix it with the soy sauce, sesame oil and sweet chili sauce. Then get your bowls and serve the amount of rice you want into each persons bowl. Then add your poke, fruits and veggies into the bowl. Season to taste with the pepper and other sauces you like and enjoy!

Baby it’s hot outside! Turn up the heat this weekend without having to slave over a hot stove. With temperatures rising above 100 this weekend, keep your cool, but still enjoy some heat by making one of these beautiful cheese boards filled with lots of Melissa’s Produce Hatch Chile items! They are so easy to make!
First get a board or platter to make it on and grab some of your favorite cheeses to place where you want first. Some of my favorites include smoked gouda, mozzarella balls, pepper jack, and Brie.
Then start placing the other fruits, veggies, and hatch chile snacks where you want them. Add edible flowers and other herbs to add a special touch. Here are some of the hatch chile items I included in this board; Hatch Pepper Kettle Corn, Hatch Pepper Popcorn, Red Hatch Pepper Pecans, Green Hatch Pepper Pecans, and Hatch Pepper Clean Snax. It’s that easy!
The Hatch at Home Box has so many delicious items to enjoy and create the ultimate Hatch-at-Home experiences with this bounty of essentials.
Here’s what you get when you purchase this box: (make sure to enter below too for a chance to win one!) Hatch Pepper Salsa, Hatch Pepper Shaker (Red Hot), Hatch Pepper Shaker (Green Mild), Hatch Popcorn, Hatch Kettle Corn, Hatch Seasoning, Hatch Pecans-Red, Hatch Pecans-Green, Hatch Polenta, Hatch Clean Snax®, Dried Hatch Pepper – Hot.
Melissa’s Dried Hatch Peppers will start to heat things up in this collection. Unlike fresh peppers, dried peppers do not lose heat, taste, flavor or aroma when cooked.
Hatch Pepper Shakers, which are basically just dehydrated peppers, are a great way to incorporate Hatch seamlessly into your favorite recipes.
What’s the difference between red and green Hatch? Hatch peppers that are left on the vine longer until they turn red result in a deep rich flavor, whereas the green peppers are picked sooner and offer a bright, zesty flavor.
Melissa’s Hatch Salsa makes for a great anytime condiment; spoon over eggs, pair with tortilla chips, or finish any dish that calls for a kick of Hatch that’s right upfront.
Hatch Seasoning is an excellent accompaniment to anything you feel like grilling. Add to burgers, sprinkle over veg … you name it!
Whether entertaining or just wanting something to nibble on, we love serving Melissa’s Hatch Polenta as rounds, piled high with savory toppings. If you’re the kind of person that prefers snacking over full-blown meals, this box has you covered. Hatch Clean Snax®, Hatch Popcorn, Kettle Corn and not one but two different types of Hatch Pecans round out the snack offerings in this bundle.
This collection has everything you need to make your own Hatch at home memories this year.
Enter for a chance to win your own Hatch at Home Box from Melissa’s Produce to enjoy! Must be +18 years old to enter and live in the 48 continental United States. See sweepstakes tab on blog for more info about giveaways. Good-luck!
