Short but Sweet

Happy Monday!!
I'm keeping this short but sweet, because I'm blogging tomorrow and will have special guest author Alison Stone (who will be a doing a giveaway) and I need to make my kiddo a big breakfast (school testing this week) and then go out and get a Mother's Day gift today. Whew!

Cinco de Mayo : The above is just a sample of our Cinco De Mayo decorations we had around the house. My friend who works as a teacher was able to snag ten sombreros for me too! Very fun.
I made homemade margaritas--no mix for me. And let me tell you, people who don't normally like or drink margaritas LOVED them.I got this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network.

Real Margaritas

1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1 juiced lemon
1 cup triple sec
1 cup tequila
ice

I put everything including ice into the blender, then served it in a salted margarita glass over a little crushed ice.
Delicious. Honestly, best regular margarita I've had. Evah.

Oh and I made grilled vegetables and grilled jalapeno shrimp and also made these chicken enchiladas. I didn't eat them, but the word from the crowd I kept hearing was "phenomenal". So you might want to check it out.
But then again, it might have been the margaritas talking. LOL

And that's all from me. Not so short, huh?

Do you like margaritas? Did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
But more importantly, are you ready for Mother's Day?
