It’s Cinco de Mayo! The fifth of May 1862 is when the Mexican army achieved an unlikely victory over the French.

Sounds like a great reason to celebrate to me!

And, as with most cultures, how do we celebrate? Why, with food, of course!

Try this delicioso take on traditional nachos. It features steak in a chimichurri sauce – nacho style. Ole!

I literally want to eat my screen right now. I am so inspired.

Click here for super easy instructions on how to make this delectable Chimichurri Nachos dish. It’ll get you in the spirit in a hurry.

Happy fifth of May, everyone! And happy birthday to my littlest man today – my Cinco de Mayo baby!

If this is the way your Easter is going this weekend, make sure everybody is fed!

Nobody likes a grumpy bunny, so for goodness sake, lay out some appetizers and bring on the Easter ham or prime rib or chicken nuggets!

Holiday meals are a tricky thing to pull off successfully. The timing is paramount. You don’t want people too hungry, but you don’t want them stuffed on appetizers. You don’t want them lingering too long around the TV when you call them to the table or the food will be cold. It’s quite a feat to get it just right.

So hats off to you if you are the host or hostess this go ’round. I am applauding you right now.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you do – just make sure it involves good food! Or this photo might start to look mighty familiar . . .
