Ad: Bargain Market Party Planning {Giveaway CLOSED}

Grocery Outlet DisclaimerBargain Market Party PlanningThis time of year is extremely busy for us. After the busy holiday season is over, our lives get crazy and hectic again immediately after the New Year. We have 4 kids with birthdays from January through April, in addition to my dad as well as my son’s girlfriend. Add to that Valentine’s Day, our wedding anniversary, and Easter and by the end of April we are dragging our feet. Just when we’ve had enough cake and ice cream, my husband and I both celebrate our birthdays in the beginning of May!

Even though we complain and it seems we’re shoveling endless amounts of celebratory cake in our faces, we really do love it. All of these celebrations of life just remind us how blessed we are to be surrounded by so many loved ones. So for our birthday weekend, we decided we wanted a party of our own, with zero birthday cakes in sight! We’re having friends, family and neighbors over to have a good time and watch the fight on tv.

Bargain Market Party Planning

Bargain Market Party Planning

When I was presented to host a giveaway for two (2) $25 gift cards to Grocery Outlet as well as shop for ourselves, I knew that our birthday menu food would be purchased from Grocery Outlet. This place is like my best kept secret! Everyone has their stores they buy this at or another they may buy something else at. What I love about Grocery Outlet is that it’s not just groceries! 

Take a look for yourself. (You can also follow along on Twitter | Facebook | YouTube)

Bargain Market Party Planning

There’s tons of kitchen accessories like towels, potholders, cutting boards, pots and pans, tupperware, casserole dishes. You name it, it’s there! The prices are fantastic too!

There’s also makeup and toiletries, with some great brand names! RiRi had a great time browsing all the lip glosses, nail polishes, mascaras and neutral eye shadows. You can’t see it in these photos, but there’s even clothes sold near this area.

The selections of meats are outstanding, perfect for a fun night, like what we’re planning. There’s picnic packs of chicken, ribs, hamburger meat and patties, sausage, Tri Tip, ground turkey and plenty more choices. There’s even more in the frozen section!

Bargain Market Party Planning

In addition to the meat, there’s a full selection of cheeses, dips, and creamy sauces for a great price. We picked up that big block of Velveeta, the price was a steal and I have special requests for my chili cheese dip.

There’s also a fully stocked produce section that carries most everyday fruits and vegetables you’d want. We picked up some baby carrots for our veggie tray, as well as some zucchini and green onions.

In the frozen section there’s plenty to choose from. Many different bags of chicken, all for great prices and brand names too!

One of my favorite things about Grocery Outlet is their vast amount of wines. Since I’m located in Northern California aka Wine Country there’s never a shortage of good local wines. This was just a small section of their wine selection. Which do you prefer? I picked up two, a Moscato to make a Sangria punch with and a Prosecco to make a nice sherbet drink with.

Bargain Market Party PlanningAnd here’s my grocery haul! All of this for under $50! Can you believe it? Plenty of food to prepare for our birthday, without breaking the budget. I’ll be back next week to share some of the creative ideas I have for this food. For now I leave you with a giveaway!

    We love our #Escondido Grocery Outlet. The owners are fantastic and they are active with the community. They are located at East Valley Parkway in Escondido. Here are some photos from their recent grand opening.

    Too bad we don’t have a Grocery Outlet. I’m always looking to get more for less.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort. 

Get the recipe by clicking the link in profile at @mamaharriskitchen or just google “Mama Harris Kitchen Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup” 🍲 Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
