My Best Pot of Mexican Beans Recipe

Mexican Beans recipe

It’s Cinco de Mayo!  You just have to start every great Mexican meal with a fabulous pot of beans.  For years I wasn’t happy with my Mexican beans recipe.  One day I told my mom that mine just never taste as good as the beans I ate at home growing up or in the Valley,… [continue reading]

Cinco de Mayo

Although the general population around here probably doesn’t celebrate cinco de mayo, I thought it was really fun that we had Mexican food for our church potluck. My family would not let me get by without making a Tres Leches cake (Left).  It’s one of their favorites.  The spoapilla cheesecake (right) was awesome.  I need… [continue reading]

Texas Land & Cattle

This is how we spent cinco de mayo.  See our lovely traditional outfits? Me neither.  I just was not up to planning and cooking on that day.  “Never fear,” I told me crew, “we’ll go out for a Mexican feast!”  When it came time to go eat we had trouble deciding on a restaurant.  We… [continue reading]

Mexican Themed Family Meal 2011

It is my tradition to have a Mexican Meal for my family on cinco de mayo.  My plans last year were sabotaged, but I promised my family that we would still have our Mexican meal on a different day.  But with pregnancy, summer fun, and travels it just never got done.  My kids didn’t let… [continue reading]

My Cinco de Mayo Surprise

I was a little bummed that a must-attend function was scheduled for cinco de mayo at the kids’ school.  After all, a cinco de mayo party on a different day is no longer cinco de mayo!  I do still have a Mexican fiesta planned.  That day my two older girls were at their “school” for homeschoolers… [continue reading]

Mexican Themed Family Dinner

This was last year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration.  Friends of mine in Mexico don’t really celebrate this day at all.  They celebrate their independence in September.  This became a tradition for me after having taught Spanish.  So I just say I’m celebrating my Tex-Mex heritage!    Really, it’s just a great reason to cook Mexican food… [continue reading]

My Favorite Tres Leches Cake Recipe

My menu for Cinco de Mayo changes every year.  In 2006 I tried this Tres Leches Cake recipe and my family will  not let me make anything different for dessert.  I actually grew up in and near Mexico and didn’t taste Tres Leches until on a missions trip to Guatemala!  But it is made and… [continue reading]
