The fun holidays have really been jumbled up this year
And this Saturday is not only Cinco de Mayo 💃
It’s also the Kentucky Derby, the famous horse race,
also called The Run for the Roses 🏇 🏇 🏇
This is my sweet niece and her cute hubby at the Derby a couple of years ago
At our house we will be celebrating
Cinco de Derby
Run for the Tacos!
Our family is coming to the coast for the weekend and it’s nice to plan the menu in advance to save time and stress
This month I will be highlighting healthier versions of Mexican favorites, like this Skinny Margarita
We are going to grill chicken and vegetables for fajitas and you can forgo the tortillas or use lettuce as a wrap
I will share the Skinny Enchilada Dip soon, but today I want to share this quick & easy Pina Colada Salad
Glorious summer fruits are just coming into season now, strawberries, cantaloupe, juicy watermelon, fat green grapes are paired with mandarin oranges, fresh pineapple and blueberries
This salad packs an extra punch of flavor with a drizzle of Cream of Coconut and coconut shreds
It’s so cool, light, and refreshing, and if you buy prepared fruit, it only takes minutes to prepare
