Happy Monday! We are days away from May which do you know what that means? Days away from Cinco de Mayo, days away from end of school year activity hustle and bustle, and just a little closer to summer break!!!! Yee haw!!!! That is all I have to say! I LOVE SUMMER BREAK! I love the slow pace and I love the memories made! Who is with me?
But, we have to get through May to make it to the break! And let me tell ya…..when you have two high school aged kids in the house and an elementary aged child….well, put your seat belt on folks! It is about to get messy, busy, and stupid crazy, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! And we mamas still have to cook and feed those kids! This week I have mexican themed dishes because some of you might have a Cinco de Mayo party or two to go to and most of these dishes you can bring along! So I thought I would kill two birds with one stone here! Hope you like what you see. I promise they are all very easy and very tasty!
Monday-Ju Ju’s Taco Soup! I love a good soup and I love to make it on monday night so that I have the left overs to eat on all week at lunch! This soup is so easy and so good! Serve it with chips, salsa, queso, guac….top it with avocado, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro….Oh my it is so good! My mouth is watering thinking about it!
Wednesday-Mango Chicken. I was not sure I would like mango in my chicken, but you guys….this is so good! I like to put fresh jalapenos on top to give it a little kick with the sweetness and oh my LORD!!!! YUM!
Thursday-Mrs. Andrea’s Kings Ranch Chicken. When I make this I usually double or triple it and freeze the extra casseroles. It is super to have those ready in the event I have a friend in need or something pops up and I just can’t get dinner ready. Not to mention EVERYONE LOVES THIS DISH!
Friday and Saturday this mama is off duty!
Sunday-Spaghetti Sunday usually, but May 5 calls for Mexican Street Corn! Pair it with fajita meat and veggies, along with chips, salsa, guac, queso, rice, and beans. BAM! You have yourself your own little Cinco de Mayo Celebration Meal!
