Hey Friends,
Happy
Cinco de Mayo!! I admit, I thought this was a Mexican holiday similar to our 4th
of July ~ celebration of independence. I was wrong. According to Wikipedia...
Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo]; Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration
held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's difficult victory over the French Empire at the Battle of
Puebla,
on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. So there you go~
Although I was wrong about the reason for the celebration, I
definitely am happy for any opportunity to celebrate with some yummy Mexican
treats. Do you have any plans to celebrate?
Such cute décor items I saw here would
make for a festive party. Although a
little late even for Amazon Prime, I bet you can still find some cute items to
set a festive theme ~ think Party City or Dollar Tree (great finds for
cute disposable party ware).
This girl (like most I think) loves salsa, nothing too spicy
though. It is versatile you can serve it
with chips, tacos or nachos, it’s delicious over rice. Lots of uses. It is my Mexican food of choice.
This is my favorite recipe, it’s very basic but so yummy. And you
probably have the ingredients in your pantry.
There is still time to make up a quick batch, serve it with
your favorite tortilla chips and celebrate your Cinco de Mayo.
