Hello May

Here we are in the month of May already!  It seemed so far away at the beginning of the year.  We have much to celebrate in the month of May.  Being from Indy, we always look forward to the Indy 500, which happens around our national holiday in May, Memorial Day.  There's the extra special day to celebrate Moms on Mother's Day.  This month there's also our youngest daughter's birthday and the event of the year for all of us is her upcoming wedding day, which we're very excited about, and is approaching quickly!

And, tomorrow for some, or most who partake, we have Cinco de Mayo with lots of celebrations and great Mexican foods.  We usually do some type of celebrating on this day, whether with friends having a home gathering, or meeting up to enjoy foods and festivities at one of the local Mexican restaurants.  We love everything about Mexican food, it's one of our frequent and favorite cuisines for sure!


I thought I would share a few recipes for some goodies that would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Let's begin with something that is great as a dip with tortilla chips, or it can be a side dish on its own.



This is one of my favorite soups!  Anytime of year. I often find some version of it on most Mexican restaurant menus.  This is my recipe that I like to make at home.




The ultimate Mexican dish that most everyone will enjoy!




And, this salad is always a good choice, it's like an over-loaded taco in a bowl!




Last but not least, we call these "pork tacos" they are actually called Pork Stew Nuevo León Style / Asado de Puerco.   This dish is delicious and not difficult to prepare, but, it requires a little patience with preparation, and is well worth it!



I'm sure all of the the above dishes would go down smoothly with a refreshing ice cold Margarita, or Cerveza(Beer)!  However, if you are like me and can't drink tequila and not big on beer, give my favorite frozen beverage a try!  It's my version of the Strawberry Daiquiri made with vodka instead of rum.  Tammy's Daiquiri

Have a Happy Cinco de Mayo!  And, have some tasty Mexican food to celebrate!



Happy MAY Everyone!...
