Cinco de Mayo recipe roundup

Hi friends! Just popping in to say happy Cinco de Mayo, and give you a few menu suggestions if you happen to be throwing a fiesta today.

spicy chipotle braised beef

Lately, I've had an obsession with making a roast every Sunday. In order to keep things interesting, Husband and I have a few versions we make. This spicy shredded chipotle version is perfect for making tacos, enchiladas, or serving with rice.

superbowl bites

Well friends, it's Superbowl weekend!

I'm not hosting or attending a party this year [sad face]

but here are some recipes for those of you who are:

Game Day Mexican Layer Dip

Traditional game day dip with a fun football twist.

asian pork tacos

So I showed you how to make spicy pickled onions. 

Now I want to show you something to put them on:

 Asian pork tacos.

game day mexican layer dip

College football season has officially begun! For those of you who don't know, 

I cheer for the Michigan State Spartans. I graduated from MSU a few years ago. 

I met my Husband there. My Grandfather both attended graduate school and taught there. 

And many many of my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins from both sides of my family 

attended as well. [including my brother who is a sophomore there this year- Hi Eric!]

One game day tradition I have when hosting a tailgate is to make mexican layer dip.

And I've discovered a fun way to make it even more football appropriate.

By turning it into a football field!

make your own: fresh salsa

Husband and I cook Mexican food... a lot. Usually once or twice [or three times] a week.

His enchiladas are to die for, and I make a pretty mean layer dip.

We do burritos, tostadas, nachos, tacos, you name it. But the easiest recipe we have?

Fresh Salsa.
