Hi everyone! Happy Cinco de Mayo. We had a Mexican themed date night late weekend, so we aren’t cooking anything special tonight. (I might still have a festive drink) I put together a list of some of my favorite recipes for Cinco de Mayo and a few on my list to try. Enjoy!

Pat and I decided to pick a few recipes and have a Rosa Mexicano date night at home. We picked the adobo marinated chicken tacos, guacamole, and Mexican style street corn. We had to adapt the recipes for the ingredients we had at home. The guacamole came out great. Pat made that while I was working on Project Life.
