Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Buffalo chicken gets a ton of rotation in our house. I love all of the flavors and of course chicken is always a big hit. But, I was searching for something different the other night and decided to change it up and make buffalo shrimp tacos in place of our regular chicken version.

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!

I love tamales! When we go to Mexican restaurants, it is usually one of the first things I order if they are available. What I don’t love is the work that goes into making them at home. So, I went searching for an easier way and came up with chicken tamale casserole. It is so easy to make and has all the flavor of a traditional tamale.

I live under a rock. Not really because you’ve obviously seen pictures of my house. BUT, it wasn’t until about 3-4 months ago that I had my visit to Bonefish Grill. Honestly, that visit didn’t go so well and I probably wouldn’t have gone back had I not tried the Bonefish Grill bang bang shrimp {and thanks to some very helpful managers who made up for the issues}.Â

The love for Tex-Mex and Mexican food in our house is pretty obvious! You can see it week after week in my What to Cook Wednesday weekly menus. Plus, we’re regulars at our local Mexican restaurant and you’ll always find salsa in the house.
Typically, I focus on more traditional salsa and guacamole {although, I have been known to make the guacamole with bacon!}, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at a salsa verde recipe for something a little different.

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}.

To a lot of people, there isn’t much that you can do to guacamole to make it any better than it already is. It’s perfectly creamy, tangy and spicy all mixed into one bowl. What else could you want?!
Now, of course, I have already revealed that I add salsa to my guac for the texture issue I have {note: I fully understand it is me…not the guac!} but when we were in New York recently though, I had guacamole with an ingredient that I wouldn’t have really thought to put in…

Every month, a group of parents from H’s old preschool get together for a dinner club. It is always a great time and everyone brings really delicious food.
We hosted last month and one of the families brought these super delicious taco cups. Everyone was raving about them. I didn’t think about getting the recipe at the time but decided to try and create them on my own a few days later. These turkey taco cups are sure to be a favorite in your house.
