I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Florida Department of Citrus. I received promotional item to thank me for participating.
I am on a mission. A mission to eat healthier, fresher, lighter, and live life to it’s fullest potential.
I am already pretty good about eating well, but it can be a struggle to get the kids to follow suit. Now that it’s football season, and the holidays are right around the corner, I will have to try harder than ever to stay on track. I am into trying new things in the kitchen, and this citrus cranberry salad was a hit! Can you guess what i’m bringing to our next football tailgate party? This:
This baby is full of all of the essentials: mixed greens, avocado, cranberries, and orange segments, to name a few. A light salad like this needs a complimentary light dressing, so we made our own vinaigrette at home using one special ingredient: Florida Orange Juice. Orange juice in your daily diet is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I found this recipe for a citrunette vinaigrette on Florida Citrus website and couldn’t wait to try it!
Tailgate season is here, so bring this tasty and health dish to the next one! Here’s how to make it…

Enhance your tailgate dishes this football season with Florida Orange juice, gives recipes a nice kick! Florida Citrus transformed Herald Square into a tailgate, right in the middle of New York City! A large turf was laid out, and the event attracted thousands to try a football toss game, sit in the bleachers, take an #OJselfie, and try samples of 100% Florida Orange Juice. Erin Andrews of Fox Sports was on hand for the festivities. What a fun, Florida-style tailgate!
