You're the winner!
Man, you guys make some good meals. Thanks for all of the ideas.



Enjoy Cinco de Mayo!

What's for dinner?

I'm thinking Cafe Rio.






Not a lot of Mexican inspired fabric around here.

Red & green remind me of Christmas,

He looks good in a sombrero.

  67. Ah, I live in New Mexico, so we will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo in style. We are going to have green chicken enchiladas, pinto beans, and maybe some tacos. If you ever visit New Mexico and order Mexican food, you will be asked red or green? This is not a Christmas question - they are referring to the chili - red or green! Also, we make it caliente (HOT).

    The gnome fabric is cute!

    ReplyDelete
  96. BBQ spare ribs. I know, not mexican at all! sntbosch@smn.com

    ReplyDelete
  97. MMMmmm.. Cafe Rio sounds really good right now. My hubby could eat Taco salad about 4 nights a week, so that might be what I prepare with a few onions and red peppers to make it a Fajita taco salad. You ladies are always so generous, thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  102. What's for dinner? Good question. I ask my husband that every day. I just do NOT like cooking. So usually we just throw something in the oven (after taking it out of the freezer). Sometimes we might get fancy and open a can of soup or fruit, but mostly, it's frozen pizza. Or hot dogs. Or chicken nuggets. Or mac & cheese. Seriously - I love this giveaway! (Oh, but if you see a giveaway for a personal chef, please let me know!!!!) :)

    ReplyDelete
  103. We are making homemade Taquitos!

  118. I'm not having Mexican cause it's book club night and we are meeting at our favorite restaurant The Jerusalem Cafe. Best Middle Eastern Food in town. I already know what I'm ordering. Greek Salad. Hummus. Chicken Kabobs. Yum. And they don't have a liquor license so you can bring your own wine, they supply the glass. Books we are discussing-Radical, The Chosen, The Girl who played with Fire. What an assortment. Can't wait.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I stopped by Moe's on the way home "WELCOME TO MOE'S" and got their $3 burrito special for Cinco de Mayo. I'm really looking forward to it. And I so love the "Wee Folks" fabric - I lived in Germany for seven years, and it brings back so many beautiful memories.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Our dinner tonight will be "leftovers" of either peas and ham, vadailla (sp?) onions with hoe cakes -- or a ziti/ground beef baked casserole. Either will have sides of home grown cukes straight from my mother's garden, fresh cantalope and pineapple. At least that's what my mother the cook tells me.

    ReplyDelete
  121. We're going to a Cinco de Mayo fair at the kids school and we'll get to eat some tamales, beans and rice. YUMMM!

    ReplyDelete
  122. We did Mexican last night at our favorite restaurant to avoid the Cinco de Mayo rush. So tonight is left-overs.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  124. yikes! I'm not even sure what's for dinner tonight (how bad is that?)

    ReplyDelete
  129. The Hubs is bringing home scallops for dinner! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  130. What's for dinner: In Honor of Cinco de Mayo I made a Tortilla soup in the crock pot. It's been simmering all day and with all this cold, damp, drizzly, rainy weather, it'll be the perfect dinner for tonight.
    I used the green jalopenos as usual but also threw in some red pepper and green peppers diced to make a red and green variation. Pretty, hot, spicy and yummy! Thanks for hosting this.
