Zesty [and Sometimes Skinny] Cinco de Mayo Roundup!
Be sure to enter my Orka steamer giveaway!! Ends Monday!
TGIF, TGIF, TGIF! Happy Friday, y’all! I was debating this morning on whether I should post a Cinco de Mayo roundup or something just completely unrelated to it, like some skinny cinnamon rolls. However, tequila prevailed and I’m rounding up some of my favorite boozy, Mexican inspired recipes.
Oh, and did you know that The Kentucky Derby AND Cinco de Mayo fall on the SAME DAY this year, May 5th? So be sure to watch the greatest 2 minutes in sports while you’re shoveling guacamole into your face, mmk? I’ve got LOTS to share with y’all so let’s get started!
