Fiesta Friday #170

Hola, chicas y chicos! Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Are you ready to fiesta? I am!

cinco-de-mayo-taco-bar | fiestafriday.net


But something is missing. Where are the margaritas?

Can someone lend me their margarita machine? My husband forbade me to buy one. He said there’s no room in the kitchen.

That’s true. And it’s also true that he hates margaritas.

But he’ll take a Corona. And guess what? I hate beer.

It’s amazing we’ve been together for this long despite our differences. Maybe it’s true what they say… Opposites attract??

Anyway, I don’t think we’ll be squabbling over our drinks. Not today. Not on Cinco de Mayo.

Today we celebrate, right?! Are you with me?!

Features

Grilled Pineapple Pepper Curried Quinoa from Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes

“[This is] full of colour and goodness and flavour, everything I’d want in a dish (minus the chicken for me of course!). They look as good as they probably taste and would appeal to me visually as well as for their flavours.” — Elaine

“This is seriously good! I am not a quinoa person, but seeing this makes me think of breaking up my relationship with white rice. I love pineapples and I just love all the flavors going on this bowl of goodness!” — Jhuls

Pineapple Cream Cheese Empanadas from Anjana @ Happy and Harried

“These Pineapple Cream Cheese Empanadas are irresistibly divine! Don’t they look fabulous? I wish that I am living near Anjana’s home so I could get these empanadas warm and fresh from her oven.” — Jhuls

Saffron Infused Lamb Meatballs and Cabbage from Zeba @ Food For The Soul

“I am finding an excuse to open my cute bottle of saffron and Zeba’s recipe is just in time. This sounds so flavorful that I might finish the whole thing all by myself.” — Jhuls

Fruit Bouquet from Sadhna @ Herbs, Spices and Tradition

“How lovely is this fruit bouquet? It’s such a pretty and healthy and thoughtful gift” — Elaine

      Of course! But really, was easy to put together. I like serving food this way. Everybody can just make their own plate with whatever ingredients they like. I should do more meals like this.

        It all looks great ?
        It’s exactly how I serve meals, lots of bowls on the table at once, for everyone to help themselves ?

    Hi Angie! Thank you for featuring my recipe! And can I come to your house and eat the lovely food at the top of the page that you so expertly took a photograph of? Looks amazing! Looking forward to co-hosting with Sue this week, her blog looks very interesting:)

      You’re welcome! Of course you can come, but I’m warning you…our food is not always healthy and most likely not as delicious as yours, lol. But I usually have a great selection of music playing ? ? Thanks for cohosting, Monika!

    Hola amiga. The secrets to a great 4 ingredient margarita are good tequila, Casadores comes to mind, good Controy (Mexican orange liquor) and the star is fresh key lime. Top if off with a splash of sparkling water. Come down the Baja and I’ll have a pitcher ready for you and the Fiesta Friday gang. It helps to drink these pool or beach side. Maybe that’s the super secret.
    Muchas gracias para la fiesta viernes, La Gringa

      Hola, mi amiga! Estoy listo para una margarita! Ok, that’s the extent of my Spanish, even though I took classes in college. And got As! But you know, you don’t use it, you lose it ?
      Ok, everyone, let’s all go to Baja and crash Tracey’s!!

        When I meet a friend of a friend and find out that she likes food, too, I always joke around that we will not get along as we will end up fighting for the last bite and she agrees, too. ?

    Beer is nasty! I can’t figure out how people enjoy the flavor except that the food it “goes” with such as pizza, burgers, and deep fried foods, are delicious. Love the table shot Angie, and the tacos (they are tacos, yes, or sopes?) look delicious.

      Thanks for cohosting, girlfriend! And yes, they’re tacos. I was actually thinking of making sopes, but it’d be too involved ? Another time, maybe.
      Well, people who love beer try to tell me that if I had tried good quality instead of crappy beer, I would have loved it. And I said, why?! There are so many other delicious drinks to try ?

    I wish I could have both a beer and a margarita… no alcohol is on top of my list of the bad things of being pregnant, am I wrong? Anyway, you table looks amazing Angie, perfect for parties!

      Oh, alcohol is definitely a big no-no when you’re pregnant. It won’t be long, though, until you can enjoy everything again without worrying about the baby. Hang in there, stay strong Margy ? Thanks for the compliment. We had a nice meal ?
