Happy Cinco de Mayo!




We had a spur of the moment Cinco de Mayo celebration tonight.  I stopped by the store on my way home and picked up all the essentials for our little fiesta, including the "margaritas" pictured above (non-alcoholic, as the children were drinking as well :-)).  These were sooooo good.  We haven't made them in a while, but it's just limeade concentrate, a can of water and lots of ice.  Wet the rims of the glasses with a lime (or water) and dip them in bowl of kosher salt before you fill them.


Gotta have chips and guac (avocados were on sale in honor of the day!):






All the fixin's for some chicken tacos....onions, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese:










I caught this guy licking the leftover salt from this glass.  He is his mama's boy.  I love me some salt!  :-)






Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Um,
YUM!
This cinco de mayo feast looks so super yummy! I love that you had a last minute fiesta! So fun. I will have to remember your margarita recipe. Sounds like a fun one for all for cookouts this summer :-)

Love you,
