Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
I have probably mentioned before that my four year old is totally obsessed with guacamole. If you have met us in person, you know it is quite the spectacle. He will eat guacamole {or more recently just plain avocados} every day if given the change. I love guacamole myself but not quite that much! I’ve been trying to change it up for him from time to time and recently made a tropical guacamole that he absolutely loved!

We’re huge Mexican food fans in our house. Seriously, my kid eats guacamole by the truck load and we have at least one Mexican inspired dish on our menu every week. So, of course, we are super excited about Cinco de Mayo. The only bummer is that it is a Tuesday which means I won’t have time to put together a lot of stuff for our celebration. Thankfully, I know where to get delicious taquitos and tamales. Then, all I have to do is make a few delicious sauces and toppings so my family can make their own taquito platter. One of our favorite sauces is jalapeno kale dip which my kids think is just avocado ranch {and I am not tell them any different since the word kale would instantly get a disgusted face and rejection}.

What does everyone need on Cinco de Mayo? Or even just a Friday night? A perfect margarita of course. This pomegranate margarita recipe only needs three ingredients and it tastes so good that you’ll want to just make a whole pitcher for you and your friends (or just you…I won’t tell).

One of the great things about the start of May is Cinco de Mayo! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably notice a trend on Friday evenings: margaritas and guacamole. We have a great little Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood that we go to just about every Friday night. Clearly, we love Mexican food 😉
Cinco de Mayo brings an extra reason to celebrate Mexican culture and a great way to do that is through food and drink. So, I am here with 40 Cinco de Mayo recipe ideas to get you started!

So, I was born in a Virginia…rural Virginia…where fried chicken, corn on the cob and biscuits rule. Sweet tea…it was my equivalent to milk/juice most kids drink. I didn’t have sushi or a million other “ethnic” foods until I was well into my teens. There were definitely no Cinco de Mayo recipes made in our house growing up either!
BUT, I am convinced my mother must have lived in Texas or Mexico for some portion of her pregnancy because my love of Tex-Mex and Mexican food runs deeps. Like…I’ll drive an hour each way in traffic to get to my favorite Mexican restaurant without so much as a complaint. Once I started to fall in love with cooking, it is all Tex-Mex…all.the.time. Hence the reason, I felt the need to take a traditional “American” dish and take it South {and a little West}.
