WHAT’S ON TREND

FOOD FIXES EVERYTHING

Give them an extra 20 minutes to their day by sharing these easy eats. #EasyMeals #FoodFixes

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

We all know that in order to be more productive at work or mentally alert in general, we need to eat well. This is what we are talking about when we say valuable content. Posts that can create positive results are worth the share! #FoodFacts #HealthyEats

UPLOAD YOUR DISH “A LA MODE”

Everyone loves a contest and a chance to show off their cooking skills to the world. Let’s be honest, most people on social media are there to be seen and heard. Give them the spotlight for the day by encouraging them to participate in promos and giveaways. #RecipesForSuccess #FavoriteDish

GOLDEN BITES

January & February are jam-packed with #AwardShows and most people watch these events live to get the scoop right away! Let’s face it, the shows usually last hours so many will make it into party nights – a reason to gather with friends and movie-buffs. Fun bites during the night will keep them satiated and ready to win or lose! #AcademyAwards #SundanceFilmFestival #BAFTA #SAG

QUICKIES DO A BODY GOOD

Wouldn’t life be grand if all our recipes took 5 ingredients or less to make? We would have more time to enjoy the good things in life! We often find ourselves hit with cravings and these eats can be done at home or at work (bonus)! #LastMinuteEats #QuickieIdeas
