Fiesta Friday #200

It’s number 200, you guys!! Yeah, I know!! Exciting, isn’t it?!

Try to curb your enthusiasm for a little longer, however.


We shall celebrate in a few weeks, once the holidays are over. By then, people may start looking for motivations to blog. (Read: People = me).

There’s just too much going on right now in people’s lives, am I right?! Remember, people = me, but it could very well apply to you as well.

I just don’t think it’s a good idea to introduce another project in the midst of all this end-of-year busyness. I’m sure we’re all in agreement over this.

So, until then, we’ll be partying as usual weekly, and then when the time is ripe and right, we’ll super-party big time!

In the meantime, if anyone is interested in cohosting, please let me know. This week, however, we’ll be voting for our favorite posts. Come back on Tuesday to cast your votes, please.

These posts caught our attention

Winter Salad with Avocado & Pomegranate from Mollie @ The Frugal Hausfrau

“This may be the best winter salad I have seen filled with lots of ingredients that satisfy my tastebuds for something nutritious and light. Candied pecans, avocados, and apples and the list goes on. Mollie also gives us three of her homemade dressings to choose from – without a doubt it will be the Maple Dijon!” — Judi

“Just what I need after overindulging on Thanksgiving! Also, so I can overindulge again at Christmas!” — Angie

Honey Pear Pie from Andrea @ Cooking With a Wallflower

“Such a pretty sugared crust to go with a delicious fruit filling where the honey becomes caramelized. I enjoyed Andrea’s heartwarming story about her dessert pies that her grandmother always loved – food is about memories in so many ways and those people who are important to us.” — Judi

Festive Javanaise from Sarah’s Little Kitchen

“Until now I have never heard of Javanaise and now I see I’ve been missing out all my life! I can’t wait to make it.” — Mollie

GG’s Corn Pudding from Duct Tape and Denim

“This is just the kind of down-home deliciousness that I look for in a recipe. I love that Ann elevated corn pudding into a rich souffle-like dish that would be perfect at any table.” — Mollie

    • Oh? Tell us more about this advent calendar please. I used to buy them for my kids when they were little. There were a few times when I thought I should stop the fiesta, but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I do need to revamp it, though. Thanks, Jenny, for being such a wonderful participant of the fiesta ?

  5. 200 is amazing! Thank you for having us week after week! I hate to miss one! Gorgeous features as always!
    Love your post, please count me in when it comes to people. I have been so manic lately I have completely neglected the bog but just about made it this week!
    Happy Fiesta Friday and enjoy the weekend 🙂 xx

    • Thanks, Petra! When I think about how it all started, hardly even knowing what I was doing, it’s pretty hard to believe the Fiesta has lasted this long ?
      I know exactly what you’re going thru, there is never enough time to do everything, is there?! ?

  9. Thank you so much for including my Javanais in the features! I’m so honored 😀 Wow, number 200 already! But I totally get the fact that you don’t really have time to celebrate big time. Life gets in the way as you said.

    • When I saw that, I was like what, Javanais, what’s THAT?! And here I thought I knew everything that’s sweet and dessert-y. Apparently NOT! ? Thanks for introducing us! Btw, let me know if you can cohost.

    • I was just trying to figure out who’s been there since the first, and here you gave me the answer! I think many who started the fiesta with us have either stopped blogging or stopped coming. We may be the only 2 who’ve been there all along. Congratulations to us, yay, bravo! ?? Thanks, Judi! I know I’m always asking you to cohost but if you can spare the time before Christmas, please let me know ?

      • Good morning Angie – I can only co-host Dec. 15th if that would help. I had food poisoning this past weekend and upset some plans so had to reschedule. 🙁 I love to make Chinese food and once in awhile I will go to a restaurant – big mistake!!! Good thing I have a bunch of drafts as I sure don’t feel like cooking. It would be fun to see who was here at the beginning – I think I made a sliders post for the Super Bowl 🙂

          • Oh no! So sorry to hear about the food poisoning. So not fun at all!!
            Dec 15 is perfect! Thanks! I think I have a partner for you, but I need to confirm first. I’ll let you know as soon as.
            So good of you to go back and find out who were at fiesta #1 ? I should let them know maybe of the upcoming celebration ?

    • Moving house?! That’s exciting news, Lathi. Though a lot of work involved, I can imagine. So glad to see you at the fiesta ? Don’t forget to vote!
