On May 5,1862, 4,000 poorly-armed Mexican soldiers defeated an army of 8,000 French forces near the town of Puebla (which is about 100 miles east of Mexico City). Since then, Cinco de Mayo has been observed the world over as a celebration of Mexican heritage, pride, and general awesomeness. It's also an amazing excuse to eat authentic enchiladas, guacamole, and burritos and to wash them all down with a few cervezas.
Sure, you could mark the occasion at your local Chevys, get trashed while wearing one of those oversized sombreros, and view all of the unflattering, red-faced photos on Facebook first thing on Seis de Mayo. However, we have another kind of fiesta... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (25) | Blog

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo—olé! We’re way too busy this week to throw a proper dinner party on a Tuesday night. Plus it’s a “school night,” so we’re just going to have friends over for a low-key margarita and chips-and-salsa party on our deck. It’s a good excuse to get together and unwind after work. And since most salsas taste better with age, I can make them tonight. (And if you do have time to throw a dinner party, check out our Healthy Mexican Recipe Collection!) Read More »

Cinco de Mayo means it’s time to bust out some of your favorite Mexican recipes and start pouring the margaritas. I like my margaritas on the rocks, with salt, please. And I prefer to make them with fresh lime juice—forget the premade mix. You probably have your own favorite take on the margarita…and I’m not going to say it’s wrong, but I would like to suggest a few other delicious drinks that are equally wonderful for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.

I must be getting old, because I can't drink margaritas the way I used to. A little like my once beloved Samoas,
the fluorescent green frozen concoctions just seem too sweet to me now,
and the sugar gives me a headache. But you know how I feel about Mexican food, and when you're eating... Read More »
