My family loves any excuse for a party,
so we tend to celebrate any occasion that comes along…
Saturday we had family and friends {everyone was vaccinated}
over for a Kentucky Derby party on the patio
Red roses in a silver champagne bucket,
floppy hats and simple adult and kid friendly foods set on a buffet
Ham biscuits with Mustard Butter,
Beer Cheese & Sausage Fondue with Frito Scoops, baby carrots and celery
Red grapes, pineapple and watermelon chunks
Grilled Conecuh sausage with crackers and pepper jelly,
Chick Fil-A nuggets
Mini Chocolate Pecan Pies and Mini Red Velvet cupcakes {Fresh Market}
Today it’s time to think about the next holiday coming up tomorrow,
May 5th, Cinco de Mayo!
Here are a few festive dinner ideas
Set up a serve yourself Taco Soup Bar
or a Festive Fajita Bar
Chicken Fajita Salad Bowl is a baked tortilla bowl
full of grilled chicken, sauteed vegetables,
refried black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese
and served with a Creamy Corn Muffin

Prepared queso takes these Queso topped Beef and Black Bean burritos
up to a new level
Spanish Enchiladas are full of ham
instead of the usual ground beef or chicken,
and Manchego cheese gives them a wonderful flavor
Corn and tomatoes with green chiles give them even more flavor
Fiesta Frito Pie has a “frito crust”
filled with taco seasoned ground beef, enchilada sauce
corn, sweet peppers and onion, and cheese
After baking, garnish pie
with chopped lettuce, tomato, avocado and sour cream
BBQ Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salad are tacos with an Asian twist
they are full of pulled BBQ pork
and topped with cashews, fresh pineapple,
cucumber, snow peas and lime crema
