It’s Cinco de Mayo! The fifth of May 1862 is when the Mexican army achieved an unlikely victory over the French.

Sounds like a great reason to celebrate to me!

And, as with most cultures, how do we celebrate? Why, with food, of course!

Try this delicioso take on traditional nachos. It features steak in a chimichurri sauce – nacho style. Ole!

I literally want to eat my screen right now. I am so inspired.

Click here for super easy instructions on how to make this delectable Chimichurri Nachos dish. It’ll get you in the spirit in a hurry.

Happy fifth of May, everyone! And happy birthday to my littlest man today – my Cinco de Mayo baby!

Are you on Spring Break this week? Next week? Last week? Never?

Yeah, growing up stinks sometimes. I miss the days of just lollygagging around for a week and rejuvenating for, well, school.

It was rough.

Now, that I have two rugrats, THEY are on Spring Break. And you know what that means for me?

More work.

Entertaining. Dazzling them with my wit and knowledge. Playing games . . . 24/7.

To rejuvenate myself this Spring Break, I plan to make this yummy, springy Spring Break Steak Salad.

It propels my mind to sunny days ahead — and the day when school will be back in session.

Simply beautiful.

Sweet. Tangy. Smooth. Crunchy. It’s all in there.

This beef in a sweet tomato sauce with sugar snap peas is a wonderful, quick meal for those nights when you’re short on time – but long on hunger.

And I don’t know about you, but I seem to crave beefy meals even more in the cold months. Hearty, satisfying meals are always on my winter menu.

Check out the full recipe here and don’t forget to pair this with the steamed jasmine rice Jackie suggests.

Magnifique!
