For the Love of Cuban Food

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Align Probiotics. All opinions that follow are my own.}

Can I just tell you the weirdest-best-maybe-worst thing for me about Empty Nesting? Going from cooking for a large family to cooking for two. You would think I’d be celebrating the simplified meal prep, but a lifelong habit of cooking for a crowd is hard to shake.

I’m handling this whole Empty Nesting Chapter pretty well, I think. And I’m loving the support I get from P&G Everyday.

Of course, I still love to entertain, which is a lot of fun for me, but what about the random Tuesday nights when it’s just me and Eric?

Full Confession Time: I sometimes make a run to Porto’s Cuban Bakery – because, happily, there’s one in my area code now, thankyouverymuch. *insert happy dance here*

So we’re still eating well, and by well, I mean Cuban, even if I’m no longer doing all the heavy lifting.

Also, without having to worry about everyone else in my household – hello, Cuban Moms everywhere – I am finally starting to take better care of my self.

To this end, I’ve added Align Probiotics to my days. And I recommend the same to anyone who asks. Because good bacteria helps support your digestive system, taking a probiotic like Align helps accomplish that. Align has been a super easy addition to my daily health routine. I’m so grateful to P&G for sending me a sample. I’m totally hooked now.

There’s the amazing added benefit that I am feeling so much better each day, but if you need me to spell it out, here’s the scientific stuff:

Probiotics are good bacteria that support many essential bodily functions, including healthy digestion. Your body needs beneficial bacteria for a number of things, including healthy digestion.
Probiotics help maintain the delicate balance between the good bacteria in your gut microbiome, which is made up of trillions of bacteria and is considered a key to overall health.

And while we’re on the subject of Full Confessions… we may or may not be eating our Cuban take-out meals on trays in front of the tv while binge watching Victoria on PBS. I know. Who am I and what have I done with Marta?
