The Thursday Thirteen – 05/04/2017

Are you ready to shake your maracas? I know, I know, that sounds a little dirty. What I really mean, is are you ready for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow? It’s finally on a Friday y’all, which I think is more than a reason to celebrate. Also, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love wearing a giant sombrero and singing ay ya ya yai? The beer, salsa, and copious amounts of guacamole sure don’t hurt either. Oh, and don’t forget, Breakfast Burrito Green Chile Enchiladas are the perfect hangover food.

Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck has you covered when it comes to Mexican inspired recipes. Check out last year’s Top 10 Cinco de Mayo Recipes, including this one for Olive Crema for Empanadas.

An Avocado Piñata. Need I say more? I think not. Fill that sucker up with mini bottles of tequila and it’s time to party.

3

Who’s ready for a margarita? Add a little bit of this Sweet Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce to your cocktail in lieu of simple syrup or sugar.

4

Y’all know how I love a crockpot. So how could I not be totally crazy about this Crock Pot Margarita Chicken Dip?

5

Can someone please tell me why I didn’t order this Drinko De Mayo Tank Top last week? I feel like my outfit will be lacking tomorrow without it.

6

I think we all could use a Cactus Ice Cream Cone in our life. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.

7

A holiday just wouldn’t be a holiday without deviled eggs. How have I not gotten around to making Salsa Deviled Eggs yet? I’m definitely slacking.

8

Do you want to know How to Make a Taco Cake? I know I do. Looks fairly easy. What do you think?

I recently received this OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer as a gift from B.O.B. Bob. And yes, before you ask, I did pick it out for myself. Tomorrow it finally gets put to use.

11

If there was ever a reason for me to buy a Pizzelle Maker, these Choco Taco Shells are it. A Mexican themed party is a perfect excuse to buy one.

12

If you ask me, I think Churro Cupcakes seem like a pretty good reason to celebrate. Arriba, arriba.

13

I know you’re looking for a quick last-minute Cinco de Mayo dinner idea. No worries. Check out this recipe for 10-Minute Mexican Bean Soup. That’s right, you too can have a festive holiday-themed dinner on the table in about ten minutes. Go for it.
