About Poptillas Chips

"ALL-NATURAL SINCE 1923

 WHEN OUR GRANDFATHER STARTED THIS COMPANY IN 1923, there were basically only two types of preservatives in existence – salt and an icebox. Food was always made with all-natural ingredients.

That’s just the way it was – and it’s just the way it still is at Classic Foods. The flavors are real. The ingredients are real. What you taste are pure, unadulterated potato chips and tortilla chips – fresh from our kitchen."

TODO-NATURAL DESDE 1923 CUANDO NUESTRO ABUELO COMENZÓ ESTA COMPAÑÍA EN 1923, había básicamente sólo dos tipos de preservativos existentes – sal y una nevera. La comida siempre fue hecha con ingredientes todo-naturales. Esto es justo el modo en que se hacia – y es justo el modo en que se continua haciendo en Alimentos Clásicos. Los sabores son verdaderos. Los ingredientes son verdaderos. Lo que usted prueba son patatas fritas puras, o variedades de chips – fresco de nuestra cocina.'

This is something I believe and am grateful to know this company thinks about our health!

¡Esto es algo que creo y estoy agradecido de saber que esta compañía piensa en nuestra salud!

FACTS TO KNOW!

 "Artificial Colors: If a color doesn’t exist in nature, it definitely doesn’t belong in your body. We don’t buy the argument that artificial colors make snacks more appealing to the eye. Do you? We didn’t think so. Food should taste good, and be good for you. There’s an old adage “eat with your eyes,” but we don’t believe this should come at the expense of the rest of your body."

"MSG: Although not recognized officially as an allergen by the FDA, there are a number of reported negative reactions to MSG. Other companies would like you to believe that it is a “flavor enhancer” or a “sodium enhancer.” We believe flavor should only come from natural flavors. It is more expensive, but would not give anything to you that we would not feed our own family."

¡HECHOS CONCLUSIVOS!

'Colores artificiales: Si un color no existe en la naturaleza, definitivamente no pertenece en su cuerpo. No aceptamos el argumento que los colores artificiales hacen bocados más atractivos al ojo. ¿Y usted?, Pensamos que no . La comida debe saber bien, y ser buena para usted. Hay un viejo dicho “comer con los ojos,” pero no creemos que el resto de su cuerpo deba pagar por ello.'

'MSG: Aunque no es reconocido oficialmente como un alergeno por la FDA, hay una serie de reacciones negativas de MSG. Otras empresas quieren hacerle creer que se trata de un "potenciador del sabor" o un "potenciador de sodio." creemos que el sabor sólo debe provenir de sabores naturales. Que es más caro, pero no le daríamos nada a usted que no le dariamos nuestra propia familia."

Girls Scout #Healthy Snacks Figurines, learning to eat right!

Hello, how are you all doing, are you ready for the festivities around the world? 

¿Hola, cómo estás haciendo todos, estás listo para las fiestas de todo el mundo?

A couple weeks ago, we had our girls do a snack project. This project was making healthy snacks with fruits and vegetables.

Hace un par de semanas tuvimos a nuestras chicas realizando un proyecto de snack. Este proyecto consistio en hacer bocadillos saludables con frutas y verduras.

It was awesome to encouraged them to make something with these vegetables and eat them afterwards.

Fue impresionante animarlas a hacer algo con estas verduras y comerlas después.

It was very interesting to learn what and why they do not like and do not eat certain vegetables and/or fruits. They were also asked to make a story about their figurines, it was a laugh!

Fue muy interesante descubrir que y por qué no les gusta y rechazan ciertas verduras y/o frutas. ¡También les pidieron hacer una historia sobre sus  figuras, fue divertido!

Here are some of the snacks that were made, enjoy!

Éstos son algunos de los snacks que hicieron disfrutenlos!

I was amazed at how much of the vegetables and fruits were eaten. On that same day, we made some smoothie and the same vegetables they did not eat, they drank them in the smoothie. 

Me sorprende de la cantidad de verduras y frutas que comieron. En ese mismo día, hicimos algunos batidos y la misma verduras que rechazaron la bebieron en el batido.

Parents: Take note, the children may drink the vegetables instead of eating them.

Padres: Tome nota, los niños pueden tomar las verduras en vez de comerles.

Girls Scouts Cooking and #Sharing

Hello, Hello Hello,

We are in the month of December, the month to share some extra love and do some extra giving.

If you have never done it, try it it give a feeling of joy to see how it makes other feel the love and caring  of others. It is not something that anyone can share with you, a feeling of appreciation, I am trying to explain, but everyone is different. Do it, you will not regret sharing that love or giving something!

Well, the girl scouts have been very active learning how to be responsible and how to help mommy/daddy or guardians. For me it is an experience to share the kitchen with my little one and to see her making her breakfast and wants to make everyone's breakfast.

A couple weeks ago the girl's scout were asked to make dinner. Well, it was lovely as it was a small group. Pasta was the quickest and easiest meal.

Some of the meals were:

• macaroni and cheese
• spaghetti and turkey ground meat
• bowtie and ground turkey meat

 It was really great to see the result of the girl's task. Some of them were happy to do it, others were doing it because it had to be done. Basic result is that they know how to make their lunch and to help mommy in the kitchen.

Another scavenger hunt.....Belated Happy Birthday Juliette Gordon Low!!!!

The second day of the Scavenger Hunt was quite a long but learning day. We began in North Miami, then to the Keys then the Everglades, well almost. There sure is a spice of Life in Miami, Florida!

 OK, let see where we are going to take you all today! First, we are off to the Miami Zoo. Some interesting information about the zoo.

 The Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens, branded and commonly known as Zoo Miami, formerly known as Miami MetroZoo, is the largest and oldest zoological garden in Florida, and the only tropical zoo in the continental United States. It is located on the old Richmond Naval Air Station[5] site, southwest of Miami in southern metropolitan Miami-Dade County, in the center of the census-designated places of Three Lakes (north), South Miami Heights (south), Palmetto Estates (east) and Richmond West (west). It houses over 2,000 animals on 740 acres (299 ha), 324 acres (131 ha) of which are developed. It is about 3 mi (5 km) around if walked on the path, and has over 100 exhibits.

 The history of the zoo can be traced back to 1948, when 3 monkeys, a goat and 2 black bears were purchased for $270 from a small road show stranded near Miami. These 6 animals were the beginning of the Crandon Park Zoo on the island of Key Biscayne, just southeast off the coast from downtown Miami. The zoo was reopened in 1980 as Miami MetroZoo with a preview section of 12 exhibits and Asia, the first major exhibit, opened on 12 December 1981. A total of 38 exhibits, covering 200 acres (81 ha), were open to the public at this time.

There are four main exhibit sections in the zoo; Asia, Africa, Amazon and Beyond and Australia. The property includes a large lake, called Lake Iguana.

The Miami Zoo is a interesting place to spent the day! It is over 100 almost 100 years, not as old as the Girls Scouts!

Just a peek!

Next we continued our path to the Southern part of Miami, Florida. Off we go to the Homestead-Miami Speedway. We would hope one day for the girls to see an event. Some information about the race track.

Homestead-Miami Speedway is a race track in Homestead, Florida southwest of Miami.

Since 2002 Homestead has hosted the final races of the season in all three of NASCAR's series: the Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. Ford Motor Company sponsors all three of the season-ending races; the races have the names Ford EcoBoost 400, Ford EcoBoost 300, and Ford EcoBoost 200, respectively, and the weekend is marketed as Ford Championship Weekend. The Nationwide Series (then known as the Busch Series) has held its season-ending races at Homestead since 1995.

The speedway was constructed, with the efforts of promoter Ralph Sanchez, as part of a plan to help Homestead rebound after the devastation caused by Hurricane Andrew. Groundbreaking began August 24, 1993, exactly one year after the hurricane.

It opened in November 1995 with a NASCAR Busch Series (currently the Nationwide Series) race, the last race of that season. The Busch Series would continue to hold its season-ending races at Homestead; in 2002 NASCAR's Winston Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series would also hold their season-ending races at Homestead as well. Since 2002 NASCAR has marketed the seasons-ending Homestead races as Ford Championship Weekend.

We certainly had fun outside getting some exercise and one day soon we will be inside to enjoy an event! 

If you would like to add some information, please send me an email!

Almost there!

Getting ready for pic.

Have a great weekend, the Girls Scout troops sure will! More to come in the next adventure! 

We are in the point of Florida, can you guess where our next stop is? Let's see who is Good at this Guessing game!!!!

The Wonders of Scavenger Hunt in South Miami - Girls' Scout! #Travels

Well, we sure did a lot of travelling in one day! First in the Northwest, now we are going South west. Let's see what there is to see that is of interest to the Girls' scouts.
We took a break to have lunch. The girls were happy to stretch their legs and wander around.


Baptist Hospital of Miami is a non-profit hospital located in Miami, Florida, United States operated by Baptist Health South Florida.
It was founded in 1960 with only 650-bed and is now one of the largest hospitals in the Miami area. It has facilities throughout Miami-Dade County, into the Florida Keys, and in southern Broward County. Baptist Hospital is a non-profit organization hospital in the Miami area, handling a volume of over 100,000 patients a year.The hospital attracts international patients from the Caribbean, Central America and South America. Baptist Hospital is the eleventh hospital in the United States to receive the ”Magnet” of excellence in nursing. The hospital is currently celebrating its 50th year in operation.

Next, we head for Camp Choee. Camp Choee is a 20 acre site owned by the Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida, Inc. In an effort to support the membership, a program center and other multi-use facilities are available for troop and leader meetings, training workshops and program activities.


It is always an adventure when we go to Camp Choee, Girl's Scout life!

Til next time!

Our Scavenger Journey....

Hello once again, did you all guess where would be our next stop in Florida? Oh, come on,let's make this exciting, have a guess for the next stop! Well, the next stop was close by which was in the same area. It was not far away as we passed it on our way. We sure made it an adventure. It was the Matheson Hammock Park, great for a family outing on the weekend.

Girls trekking

A little history about Matheson Park.
Originally built in the 1930s from land donated by conservationist William Matheson, this  is a lovely scenic park's man-made lagoon, refreshed by Biscayne Bay, is warm, shallow, and calm, making it an ideal place for little ones or those who simply enjoy a peaceful practice session. A large sandy beach is dotted with palm trees that provide some shade. You can enjoy the view of downtown Miami and Miami Beach across Biscayne Bay by walking the loop around the lagoon. Matheson is also a prime spot for Kite-Boarding. The park also has a full-service marina, snack bar and restaurant built into an historic coral rock building, picnic pavilions and nature trails. Matheson also contains a sailing and power boat school. View the Matheson Hammock Marina website for more details.

Mom trekking

So, now that you have seen the first two places, will you take the challenge to see where our next stop is going to be? Let's see who knows South Florida? Will be waiting for responses on FB or by mail. Let's join in the fun!!!

Our Scavenger HUNT 2012 - Getting to know our History! #Miami #USA

Hello, Hello!!!

Well, We certainly were ready for our next adventure after the warming up doing fast walking early Saturday morning dd October 6th .

We were on our mission to find several places on our list for the second day. The first place we stopped was South Miami Little House. 

I tried to find information about this little house but did not find too much.
Girl Scout South Miami Little House in South Miami, Fl is a private company categorized under Girls Scout Organization. The records shows that it was established in 2001 and incorporated in Florida. If someone knows additional history, I will update my blog. It is very interesting to know about these places. Girl Scout has many activities there : troop meeting, troop camping, events and training. It is a beautiful spacious place.

This is one of many place we stop at that day. It was fun to know different parts of Florida and a wonder outing with the girls. #1 off our list.

Will see you soon to tell you about the next stop we made. Can you think of what the next stop would be? Let's start the guessing game, up for the challenge?

Girls Scout in Action - Exercise to Keep Healthy!

Hello All,
Hola Todos,

Hope you all are having a GREAT weekend! This weekend is for relaxing as last weekend was a bit hectic.

¡Espere que todos ustedes tengan un GRAN fin de semana! Este fin de semana es para relajarse ya que el fin de semana pasado era un poco agitado.

 Sharing what our troop has been doing! We join some other troops and we sure started the weekend on a good Spirit.

Permítanme compartir con ustedes lo que nuestra tropa ha estado haciendo! Nos unimos con alguna otra tropa y comenzó el fin de semana en un buen espíritu.

We were supposed to round up our troop at 8am. For a saturday morning, I really was not in that mood so I go there an hour late. Good timing as that was when most of the troops were gathered at the park and we decided to make a start.

Se supuso que nosotros acorralábamos a nuestra tropa a las 8:00. Para un sábado por la mañana, yo realmente no estaba en este estado de ánimo, así que llegue allí una hora de retraso. Justo a tiempo, que fue cuando la mayoría de las tropas fueron reunidos en el parque y por eso hemos decidido hacer un comienzo.

The girls had fun looking at the geese and talking with them.
Las muchachas se divirtieron mirando los ganso y hablando con ellos.

Several of the girls decided on the warm-up exercises.
Varias de las muchachas decidieron los ejercicios de calentamiento.

After warming up, we began our main event to walk 5 miles; we had to walk around half the complex 5x. Wow, we did some brisk walking. Some of the younger girl scouts did in very little time, especially those who have so much energy.

Después del calentamiento, comenzamos nuestro evento principal para caminar 5 kilómetros; tuvimos que caminar alrededor de la mitad del complejo x 5. Wow, hemos hecho algunas caminar a paso acelerado. Algunas exploradoras más jóvenes hicieron en muy poco tiempo, sobre todo aquellos que tienen tanta energía.

Well, it sure was a beautiful day, warm and windy, which was very good for us. Not a dark cloud was in the sky but beautiful blue sky.

Bueno, seguro que fue un día hermoso, cálido y ventoso, que era muy bueno para nosotros. No había ni una nube oscura en el cielo pero hermoso azul cielo.

There was a bit of a cool down time as everyone was having their liquid, when we heard ok time to have another event. Well, there was a tug and war, very exciting to see the girls challenge each other.
Then, there was a brilliant idea, time for the mom against the girls. Well. who won...am not too sure, was quite an exercise!

Había un poco de un tiempo inactivo chulo(fresco) ya que cada uno tenía su líquido, cuando oímos okey el tiempo para tener otro acontecimiento. Bien, había un tirón y la guerra, muy emocionante de ver a las muchachas desafiar el uno al otro. Entonces, había una brillante idea, tiempo para la mamá contra las muchachas. Así, quien ganó... no estoy muy seguro, era todo un ejercicio!

Next, we had a skipping rope event for the girls which they enjoyed immensely since it was to see who can jump the most. It was amazing to know that some of the girls was not sure how to do it, was great that they did very well and looking forward to our next exercise event!!!

A continuación, tuvimos un evento de cuerda saltando para las niñas que disfrutaron enormemente ya que fue a ver quién puede saltar más. Es sorprendente saber que algunas de las chicas no estaba seguro de cómo hacerlo, fue genial que lo hicieron muy bien y deseando que llegue nuestro próximo evento de ejercicio!!!

Tug of war mom n girls

We certainly had a fulfilling day and was ready for action afterwards. We had a Scavenger hunt in Florida. That was interesting and very EXCITING! Will post in the near future for your enlightenment!

Badge for exercising!!! Yeah!

Ciertamente, tuvimos un día muy enriquecedor y estaba listo para la acción después. Tuvimos una búsqueda del tesoro en la Florida. Fue muy interesante y muy emocionante! Le explicaré todo acerca de eso, pero en los próximos blogs igual que necesita algo de investigación para hacerla más interesante para todos vosotros.

Would give me great pleasure to read your comments!!

¡Me daria mucho gusto leer sus comentarios!!
