Cantaloupe Margarita

Sipping Saturday I made a tasty fruit salad for my girls on Wednesday. I couldn’t help but save a few slices for a bright melon margarita. The color reminds me of summer weekends spent at the beach with family. With our feet in the hot sand we would snack on cold melon. Have a wonderful weekend! Sweet Life

Mango Chicken Quesadillas and Roasted Oregano Strawberry Tostadas

May is upon us and for many that means Cinco de Mayo! As I explained last year Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Puebla where Mexico defeated the French Army. Funny thing is Mexico doesn’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the day is part of their History, but not an official holiday. In our house Cinco de Mayo has become a time to honor our Mexican Heritage. I want my children to be proud of their heritage, love their history and introduce them to the people I feel have changed our world for the best.
