Happy Cinco de Mayo friends! This meal is going down in history as my husbands favorite to date! He asked me three times if I had written down how I made it. I have a bad habit of creating meals and then forgetting how it all came together! Working on that.
Sometimes I wish I was that fun mom that set a themed table for every holiday! It would have totally pulled this all together! I always see posts of the most adorable themed meals and wish I had that talent! Reasons why I’m not a fashion/lifestyle blogger. Haha. What I can do is cook! So cook we do! Celebrating at our house means we are going to to eat and tonight we feasted! I’m grateful for the opportunity I have to feed my little family whole healthy holiday meals. Even if they are served on paper plates from last years Fourth of July BBQ! It’s the thought right? Tonight was one for the books! I hope this meal will bring your family around the table to make memories too! Xo
