Tequila Epazote Limeade

It’s Thursday. I’m currently up to my neck in Spanish course work. Maybe taking this class in the summer was not a great idea! After reviewing, reviewing and reviewing my paper for proper accents I finally hit submit.  Tequila Epazote Limeade. Enjoy!     

Spicy Chipotle Beef

 It’s funny when life spins into busy mode I somehow seem to get more accomplished.  Is it that I plan, prepare or pray more?  No.  I simply refuse to have my day taken from me.  I dislike the idea of being so busy, that I am deprived of “my moments.” 

Mango Margarita

Sipping Saturday  Today’s Margarita is inspired by the mango paletas I made last week.  As I peeled my mangos to make the paletas my tiny kitchen swirled with the aroma of a tropical paradise.  I knew by Saturday my body, soul and brain would be in need of little tropical getaway.  What better way to soothe away a stressful week than with a Mango Margarita? Enjoy! 

Brisket Dip

I have been feasting on my Memorial Day left overs for days it seems,  as I somehow managed to cook for a crowd of 50, when in reality there was only us 4.  A smoky brisket that hubby made for us has made my weekday meal planning very easy.  One evening served as tacos, the next alongside a baked potato, movie night no problem. Brisket Dip! Enjoy!   

Watermelon Margarita

 Sipping Saturday This Sunday we are off to enjoy the Watermelon Festival in Donna, Texas.  I considered entering the seed spitting contest, but I decided to spare my kids the unnecessary embarrassment of watching their mom make a fool out of herself.   I think I’ll leave this event to the professionals.  In celebration of this event I bring you watermelon margaritas! Enjoy!     

Pineapple Funnels from Matt Armendariz's On A Stick!

My husband surround in an intoxicating aroma of fresh funnel cake is always the start to a good night.  My husband loves funnel cakes.  Combine this with his favorite fruit and he is just about lost it!  I know, I know what your thinking we’re from Texas.  We have ample opportunities to devour funnels cakes with some many Texas festivals we trek to.  But take a step back and imagine fresh.pineapple.dipped.in.funnel.batter.at.home.  Yeah it’s just that cool!
