Hi there, Fiesta Friends!
I’m still enjoying my vacation at the moment and will return home tomorrow. Once I’m home, I’ll be needing some kind of a detox program. Or a sauna. To melt all this fat I’m accumulating!
I’ve been napping on the beach, taking breaks only to eat.
THIS.
If that’s not pure gluttony, I don’t know what is!
So.
I need to start on a cauliflower or a chickpea diet or something. Something doable. Not unrealistic like lemon water with cayenne pepper. Not that type of diet. Can you help me? Do you have yummy healthy skinny but tasty recipes?
Okay, that’s enough chit-chat. I need to get back to my nap ?
Mind-blowing recipes from last week’s fiesta
“So colorful and pretty, and the intricate work needed to roll these up… I’d surely sample!” — Diann
“I haven’t heard or seen Chiroti before, but it caught my attention as soon I saw those gorgeous treats. They look like they will make a good snack/dessert. They will be a hit in our home once I make them.” — Jhuls
“I’m excited to try this idea, which I think is excellent for anyone who is slightly challenged on sushi rolling (ahem, that would be me). Lord only knows my savings are spent way too much on sushi (ahem, that would be the children’s fault. They love sushi so much!)” — Angie
“Cooler days approach: This soup is definitely on my “to make soon” list! Hearty as well as good possibilities for toppings.” — Diann
“I’ve been craving butter chicken since the first time I tried it. I wanted to make it at home, but feel that it is too complicated, with too many ingredients needed. After seeing Jo’s Easy Butter Chicken recipe, I wanted to run to the grocery store and buy all the things needed. It looks so enticing!!” — Jhuls

hi Angie
My kind of vacation! And those crabs looks amazing.
Thank you for hosting us all again, and especially on your break! A perfect way to get inspired to cook more!
x
Those crabs were fat and full. We all ate so much but still couldn’t finish everything. I got a little sick from it all ? I think light salads only for me today.
Angie, I want those crabs!! I should’ve joined you so I could enjoy these and get more naps!? Enjoy, Angie! Happy Fiesta Friday!
You’ll get yours when you take your annual vacation, Jhuls. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of amazing food waiting for you. Lots of naps, too ?
I could dig into those crabs right now and it’s not even 9am! Thanks for allowing me to cohost this week!
Summer is not complete without a bucket of these crabs, Mikaela. It’s an annual ritual for us. Thanks for cohosting! I hope you’re having fun! ?
Angie, I’m jealous of your vacation food! Sounds like a wonderful relaxing trip.
Don’t be jealous. Turns out too much of a good thing is not good at all, duh ? I actually got a little sick, and then today we gorged on wagyu beef, omg! Oh well, as long as everyone has a good time ?
Hi Angie! It sounds like you are having a wonderful vacation! Eating and relaxing….that’s what it is all about. The features look delicious this week! 😀
Too much eating if you ask me, but I don’t want to be a party pooper so I go with the flow ? Btw, do you have time in September to cohost?
Thanks for hosting the party. have a great weekend.
You’re welcome, Helen. Have a wonderful weekend!
Ok, Angie, I had to laugh at the crab eating up your corn! I am admittedly a little jealous!! You had crab, I had pinto beans, lol!!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be co-hosting with Mikaela this week!! Remember to link up to us and to Fiesta Friday on your posted page if you want to get featured. And you want to, i just know it!! I can’t wait to see what everyone’s bringing to the Par-Tay!!
Mp;;oe
That’s the hubs’ doing. He posed that poor crab, lol. At this point I’d rather take your pinto beans trust me. I really want something light instead of all the rich foods we’ve been having, but you know we’re on vacation so I let the family decide what they want. Thanks for cohosting, Mollie, you’re the best!! ??
I’ll have one bucket of this gorgeous crab with napping on the beach please. My own holiday is long forgotten now and British heatwave is no more 😉 so pics like yours send me to the dream land lol.
Ps. Thank you for the feature and for hosting Fiesta whilst on your holiday (in between napping and eating crab that is) 😉 x
We’ve consumed way too much food! Though it seems I’m the only one who complains ? Love butter chicken! I’m definitely going to give your easy version a try!
LOL! You did pose that good looking crab with the ear of corn. I can see his eyes (at least one of them). Great picture – we get a lot of seafood but not crabs like that. 🙂
Haha, the husband did it! But I did pick the best looking crab. The blue crabs are smaller than the other crabs, but I think the best tasting. When we lived on the West coast we used to get Dungeness crabs, which are pretty good, but blue crabs are better. Wish I could send you some, so plentiful here.
So do I … 🙂
Wow, the crab 🙂 yum! Enjoy your vacations.. we had a great one in Iceland this year Angie. And a million thanks for the feature. Super happy to get up there. 🙂
You’re welcome! The chiroti looks so pretty, Trupti. It sounds incredible, too. I love it.
Thank you 🙂
Angie, let me know when you find the fat-melting recipe, please! I need one pronto, LOL! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Lol, Jas, I figure if you eat a big bowl of celery, the amount of calories consumed is less than what would be needed to digest. Therefore, fat-melting, ta da… ?
