MIAMI, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The back-to-school craze is in full motion, and the National Pork Board (NPB) wants to help parents prepare meals not just for their kids, but for the whole family. NPB has partnered with top digital Latino influencers to bring healthy, savory meals for everyday eating.

“Back to school is a special time for the entire family, and we wanted to offer tips and pork recipes with quality nutrition that could be enjoyed by the entire family,” said Jose de Jesus, director of multicultural marketing at The National Pork Board. “It is important that even with the craze of this season families get to enjoy homemade dishes. Pork is safe, healthy and affordable, making it the perfect protein for any lunch box.”

Registered dietician, educator and author, Manuel Villacorta, is encouraging families to eat healthy while also enjoying their everyday meals. He recommends these easy tips for parents to keep in mind when meal planning for the week:

  1. Schedule time over the weekend – go to the grocery store with a shopping list with specific ingredients and snacks so you don’t overbuy.
  2. Separate a couple of hours to cook your protein in large batches (such as pork loin, a lean pork cut) and a couple of carbohydrate or veggie options, such as brown rice or cauliflower, to create a balanced diet.

Villacorta believes people shouldn’t dread homemade packed lunches – they should look forward to them. That’s why he made this easy and healthy Pork Chop Sandwich recipe video to inspire people to be creative when it comes to meal prepping.

Moreover, Marina Chaparro, pediatric and diabetes expert, can help you improve your family’s nutrition and craft tasty lunches that your kids will enjoy. Chaparro recommends:

  1. Adding variety – Include at least three food groups to ensure a balance of nutrients. Parents are encouraged to add a protein, such as pork, to each meal. Kids need protein to feel satisfied at school and support their body’s development.
  2. Making school lunches fun – Kids eat with their eyes, so make their lunch appealing and interactive. Use lunch boxes with different dividers or add colorful cupcake molds to place whole grain chips or veggie dips.  

Aside from these savvy tips, Chaparro also shares a Carnitas Style Pork Loin recipe that can be used for different meals during the week. You can create a tasty burrito, a BBQ sandwich or a wrap that kids would enjoy.

Even more meal inspiration can be drawn from Chef Doreen Colondres’ Mediterranean Pork Bites recipe. This simple recipe is easy to pack and can serve as the perfect lunch meal.

NBCUniversal_Telemundo_Logo

MIAMI, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With only two weeks left, Telemundo is set to win the 2017-18 broadcast season and continue its winning-streak as the undisputed leader in Hispanic media. For a second season in a row, the network continues to make ratings history as it is on track to retain its lead as the #1 Spanish-language network in weekday 8-11pm prime among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34, according to Nielsen. Telemundo ranked among the top five broadcast networks with NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX, during the season among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34. In addition, Telemundo delivered the youngest audience among all broadcast networks regardless of language, including the largest composition of adults 18-34 out of total viewers.

We are honored that Hispanics have chosen Telemundo as their preferred choice for the second season in a row,” said Cesar Conde, Chairman NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and NBCUniversal International Group. “We’ve listened to our viewers and created new and original content that delivers on their appetite for media across all platforms. This strategy is paying off in the ratings, but mostly in capturing the hearts and minds of today’s Latino audiences.”

According to Nielsen, this season Telemundo averages 722,000 adults 18-49 in weekday prime, +5% higher than Univision (686,000), more than doubling the gap it first established in the 2016-17 season. Among adults 18-34, Telemundo averaged 314,000 this season, surpassing Univision (296,000) by +6%, while it continued to close the gap among total viewers. Fueled by the success of its prime time line-up, Telemundo is delivering its highest weekday prime share in history among adults 18-49 (55%) in the third quarter of 2018, outperforming Univision’s (35%) and UniMas’ (10%) combined share by 10 percentage points.

Additionally, for the fourth consecutive season Telemundo ranked as the #1 Hispanic network in the weekday 10pm hour and held more than a 50% share of the Spanish-language broadcast audience among adults 18-49 (52%) and adults 18-34 (54%).

This unprecedented victory is the result of the network’s commitment to redefining Hispanic media and providing action-packed contemporary stories that resonate and connect with Latinos today. This season, franchises “El Señor de los Cielos” (seasons five and six) and “Sin Senos Si Hay Paraiso” (season three) claimed the top three highest-rated regularly scheduled series in all Spanish-language television among adults 18-49 and 18-34. Also ranking in the top 10 among both demos were Telemundo Super Series™ “Señora Acero” (season four) and “Enemigo Intimo.”

Telemundo’s brand new program “Exatlon” was the #1 weekday prime reality sports competition series this season on Spanish-language television, averaging 508,000 adults 18-49 and 217,000 adults 18-34, easily outperforming “Reto 4 Elementos” on Univision’s UniMas network. The innovative reality competition boosted Telemundo’s Monday-Friday 7-9pm average by +21% among A18-49 (508,000 vs. 420,000) and +30% among A18-34 (217,000 vs. 167,000).

On the digital front, Telemundo also leads across all platforms in Spanish-language ranking #1 in social engagement, #1 in YouTube subscribers, #1 in Video On Demand (for seven consecutive years) and delivers the biggest Spanish-language livestream sports event in history with the 2018 FIFA World Cup™.

Telemundo’s programming has evolved with its audience – mindful of the way they consume media and the type of content they prefer. The network’s business model was designed to produce original content, positioning Telemundo as the only network that offers high quality content across all platforms made specifically for U.S. Hispanics living in the United States. Telemundo has been part of this rapidly evolving market and has demonstrated a unique understanding of what resonates and is relevant to this new audience, across all platforms, positioning itself as the leading network in Hispanic media today.

Highlights of the 2017-18 Season include:

  • The 2018 FIFA World Cup™ posted the greatest 32-day performance in network history, setting records for the network’s most-watched daytime for every day of the week
  • For the first time ever, Telemundo ranked #1 in total day for two consecutive months (June & July 2018), among total viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 18-34
  • The Latin American Music Awards 2017 Simulcast on Telemundo and Universo delivered the franchise’s best performance to date among adults 18-49 with 1,183,000
  • Master Chef Latino premiere in January 2017 ranked as the #1 Spanish-language program in prime among adults 18-34, and ranked as the #1 most social show in prime among Hispanic networks on premiere night
  • The “Sin Senos Si Hay Paraiso” season three premiere on June 2018, outperformed Univision’s premiere of “La Bella y Las Bestias” among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34, outperforming ABC, CBS and FOX at 9pm, among those two demos
  • On Sunday nights, Telemundo’s Cine Exclusivo and Cine Millonario were the two highest rated regularly scheduled movie showcases on Spanish TV among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34

HOLA! USA October Issue Cover

Our global exclusive is led by Sofia Carson, the actress, singer and influencer reshaping the image of the much-criticized generation thanks to her impressive work as an entrepreneur and committed philanthropist. In the middle of an impressive summer downpour, we spent the day navigating the busy streets of Manhattan with this young woman of Colombian descent and her equally beautiful sister, best friend, and roommate Paulina Daccarett-Char. In the cover story, Sofia fills us in on her upcoming roles in Descendants 3 and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists as well as gives details of her most recent trip to Africa where she visited local schools in support of educational rights, especially for women. She also reveals how she has managed to turn her digital platforms into concrete channels of influence among her generation.

“[Sofia] has not only seduced millions of followers with her polite way of being, her jovial smile and her wonderful voice, Sofia is, above all, an intelligent and articulate girl,” says Miguel Sirgado, editor-in-chief of Hola! USA. “She knows that the future is in the hands of young people like her – aware of their reality, their context, and of the time in which they live. She and her peers feel they own and know the power of their influence, especially of technology – the resource that is helping them to build a better future.”

October’s issue also puts a spotlight on other powerful trendsetters: Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, and Becky G, who overcame all the obstacles in their paths and today use their voices to help and inspire the world with their humanitarian work. They reveal to us how they have become agents of change and share everything they are looking to do with their careers to improve the world.

In the midst of the professional successes of Aislinn Derbez with her Netflix series La Casa de las Flores (The House of Flowers) and her husband Mauricio Ochmann‘s new film Ya Veremos, the couple poses for the first time with their baby girl Kailani. Considered one of Hispanic cinema’s most influential couples, they reveal their daily and most intimate side undertaking the role of parents as a true example of teamwork.

Also in this edition of HOLA!

Technological guru Tarik Sansal shows off his multi-million-dollar bachelor pad in Manhattan’s Tribeca, where he calls Mariah Carey, Olivia Palermo, Taylor Swift and Robert de Niro neighbors. The inventor of Romio, the application that has revolutionized the lives of New Yorkers, tells us details of his most recent creations that have made him $160 million.

Princess Eugenie, the independent and modern granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, will say ‘I do’ to Jack Brooksbank on October 12 in St. George’s Chapel, on the grounds of Windsor Castle. We take an introspective look at their love story from the moment they met on the ski slopes in Switzerland eight years ago to their very own royal wedding.

Joining her in the pages of HOLA! USA is her royal cousin-in-law Meghan Markle. We shine a light on her natural glam as well as present the unmissable places of London according to the former influencer and current Duchess.
