12 Easy Cinco de Mayo Recipes

12 Easy Recipes for Cinco de Mayo!

Can you believe we’re already at the tail end of April!? I’m so ready for hot weather, days at the river, and my traditional saltwater sandal tan lines.

Butttt before we get there, we have a few more days of April Showers.

And then the whole month of May.

Okay, realistically, summer never starts here in the Pacific Northwest until July 5th (because Mother Nature demands that we must stand in the rain to light off our fireworks).

The good news is that we have lots to keep us busy in the meantime, like hosting a super fun Cinco de Mayo party!

You’ll have to go ahead and host one for me, because I just remembered that I’ll be in San Francisco for the big event.

I’m not sure how I didn’t realize that until just now, but I’ll be cruising the Californian coastline next week with the fabulous Becky of The Cookie Rookie and we’ll be making lots of ruckus in the city that night!
