Cinco de Mayo is
all about vibrant color, so the food, the tableware, even the atmosphere
need to say fiesta! Now
is a good time to pull out that hot-pink shirt you never wear, and let
loose. If you have any doubts, double the limes and start over. Some
twinkle lights couldn't hurt either.

This veggie is an A-lister on the super
food list,
which is great because it's so sweet that it might as well becandy.
I like to have my candy with nutrients, don't you? Check out the fiber
content on this vegetable: that's more than your oatmeal can boast, and it
holds all that fiber without any added fat. It's a complex carb as well, so
even though it tastes sugary, it isn't going to spike your blood
sugar.
Pretty super, right?

for a way to get into the action...

Pan Searing is Fun!
This method of cooking meat is so versatile that I
thought it was worth exploring in greater depth. If you are not into
lengthy explanations of simple things, skip right to the recipes. Give
Ashley's Curry Chicken a try or my Cranberry Pork Chops. For a quick meal, sear some chicken for a salad. The result is tender and moist meat that is great sliced on just about anything....

Kid's Lunch
When my daughter started first grade I was trying to
figure out what to pack her for lunch. Walking through the store I saw
chips, juice boxes, snack cakes, fruit snacks, crackers and packaged fruit.
Basically, if I packed this she would get sugar, salt, and fat for
lunch.....
