Cinco De Mayo Cocktails

Its time for our Cinco de Mayo cocktail round up !  We have had some real fun putting these drinks together for you. It has been an amazing month of tequila cocktails .  We got a great deal on Jose Cuervo Gold a while back and had bought a bottle, it was sitting at the back of the liquor cabinet when we started planning this months cocktails.  I wasn't a big tequila fan (I really do remember the saying "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR").  Not one to take chances as an adult I can say I haven't had it in many years (probably since college).  Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find I reallllllly like this tequila.  We have since purchased another bottle and now have 4 FABULOUS tequila cocktails to add to the Cinco de Mayo Cocktail Round Up! Puckered JalapeƱo Frozen Margarita is the perfect cocktail. Spicy Jalapeno flavor in a cooling frozen cocktail, lemony sweet with a salted rim, served with a jalapeno. FIESTA!!! Sweet S...

The Biggest 30 Minute Meal Round Up!

I am , born with a love of slow roasting long cooking flavors, dark red all day tomato sauces, cakes that have 9 layers and take days to prepare, and Italian dinners that serve 30 and take 2 days to prep.  That was until about a year ago.  I found myself in a different situation than ever before.  I became an incredibly overwhelmed stay at home/work from home mom.  Taking care of all my obligations did not seem to leave me hours to prep for long dinners, much less time to cook them.  I needed a change. 30 minutes!  That is the perfect time for me.  From the time I set foot in my kitchen, I give myself 30 minutes to have dinner on the table.  Sometimes if I am lucky, I even have the kitchen cleaned while dinner is in the oven. Here are 30 meals that you can have on your plate in 30 minutes or less!  You need a list like this when you have kids, carpools, play dates, work, homeschooling or whatever keeps your schedule full.  Thi...
