Mexican food is my favorite! We aren’t doing anything, but I might need to change that. 🙂

Yummy recipes…perfect for the party
Looks like great recipes. I haven’t ever had Huevos Rancheros. I may have to start the morning with those.
Ah, it looks so good. Especially the Chicken and Veggie Tostadas. Mexican cuisine is about the best. We don’t have any plans – a little friend of ours has her birthday on May 5th.
Happy Cinco de Mayo to you, too!
This looks fabulous! I love Mexican, so I’ll be exploring!
I love Mexican food, and eat it all year round… Not just for Cinco de Mayo! Love all of your recipes 🙂
I love Mexican food! We are making fish tacos tonight… loaded with halibut, cabbage, tomatoes, lime, avocados, cheese and spice! If it stays chilly… I might make some Mexican hot cocoa 🙂
I could actually eat Mexican Food every day! I love all of these recipes.
Great list of ideas for Cinco de Mayo! Looking forward to trying the Huevos Rancheros!

This is my first Cinco de Mayo not in College so I’m finally excited to celebrate it as a food holiday (and not a binge drinking holiday)! I like your style of starting early too.
