Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!
I love this holiday, not because of the yummy food and allllllllll the margaritas, although those two things alone make a very compelling case. But because I feel Cinco de Mayo captures the essence of our Mexican-American family.
Cinco de Mayo is not something that is really celebrated in Mexico, but has become a celebration of all things Mexican—here in the United States. It is a holiday that highlights the beauty and vibrancy of Mexican culture and how we incorporate that into our American lives. This is essentially how we, as a family, live our lives, this is what this blog is about, and this is why I love saying, “Happy Cinco de Mayo!!”
I hope you take some time to find a little bit of Mexico in your life today—or at least indulge in one of the 400+ margarita recipes we all now have after another doozy of a Margarita Week! Have you been following along? It has been so much fun. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just search #MargaritaWeek on Instagram. You’ll get it.
Now on to some meals that will get you through to next Sunday…..which, by the way, is Mother’s Day! I’ve included some special things you can make for Mom in this week’s list—Chocolate Madelines, anyone?
