Feliz Cumpleanos America!
I hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July weekend. As for me, the husband and I threw a Mexican-themed fiesta for our holiday experience since we missed celebrating Cinco de Mayo, I'm from New Mexico, and we are strange. It was a blast.
Ohmeohmy, did I make a ton of food including, Mexican pizzas, guacamole, homemade salsa, tortilla chips, moco coco cupcakes, and cinnamon sugar tortilla crisps with warm chocolate sauce spiked with a little red chili powder. Um, and did you know you can now buy boxes of margaritas, similar in theory to the wine boxes that stole my heart not too long ago? Well, you can and I highly recommend them.
Alright, on to the spread.
I wanted to do a trial layout before the food was ready. If I don't do it that way, I forget what I have to serve on and I would quickly dump my food into some weird dish I had handy. Since we got all kinds of stuff for our wedding, I thought it would be a waste if I didn't use a lot of it. The wall-hangings used as table runners are from New Mexico and given to me from my mother.
The cupcakes had tequila in them.
I tried to find red tortilla chips to blend my two themes of a Mexican fiesta and the fourth of July. However, I did not and just used a red napkin to line my bowl of blue corn and yellow corn tortilla chips. Get it? Red, white and blue. Cute, eh?
I'll share the recipes with you later.

Sounds delicious – especially tequila cupcakes!
I would love to try each and every item on that table!
You did a lovely job
Yum. Sad we were unable to make it. Save me a tequila cupcake??
I like the idea of a Mexican theme – I don’t know why but I do. Margaritas in a box? Tequila cupcakes? Hello!
I love you, but I cannot approve Margaritas in a box. Margaritas should be made with tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice. Period.
Agreed. And I will now feel ashamed for the rest of the week. On the plus side of booze, I did make my own raspberry infused vodka. That’s got to win me back a few points.
This sounds (& looks) much yummier than burgers & dogs
Hi, sorry fo inquiring this enquiry here, but I am not ableto find a contact form or something so I felt like I leave my enquiry here. I run a blogengine blog but I am getting bigger amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it easier to control spam with wordpress or doesn’t it make any difference?
