Fiesta Friday #152

Hey, guys! Ready to say goodbye to 2016?

Yeah, me too, me too! C’mon, let’s get it over with. Be done with 2016. Add another year to our age. Why prolong the agony, we’re all going to be old eventually, anyway.


Well, that’s depressing, haha… But seriously, I can’t wait to count down to the New Year.

I’m so excited! A couple of my girlfriends are going to be at Times Square to welcome the New Year with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. And they promised they’ll hold up a sign with #FiestaFriday on it!

I’ll be glued to the TV, looking out for them!!!

Now, let’s talk some more about that important thing we’ve been talking about – The Challenge. In a nutshell, it will be a healthy recipe challenge.

I know it’s predictable and all to go with the healthy theme, but hey, my philosophy is…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. People do want to start the new year by doing the healthy, after doing the heavy. You know, the heavy eating, drinking, partying, blah blah…

They want to undo all that now by doing the healthy. Am I right? We should, anyway…just sayin.

So, start thinking healthy, guys. I will fine tune the idea and present the challenge in more detail in the next couple of weeks. There WILL be surprise ingredients and maybe even PRIZES involved. It’ll be exciting! So stay tuned!

Now, Features!

  7. Hello lovely Angie, I am making up for lost time with two posts this week, how greedy of me.
