Delicious Cinco de Mayo Recipes
.
It’s May already! Time just seems to fly by, doesn’t it?
No matter how you feel, it’s time for Americans to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which by now, I hope most of you realize is not even celebrated in Mexico! Just another great reason to party, have a great time, and enjoy great Mexican food here in the States!
OK, so I know that these are not Italian recipes, but my husband and I simply love Mexican food! So I’m sharing the few and far between, delicious Mexican recipes that I consider in my family to be some of the best Cinco de Mayo recipes that I make over and over again by request of those in my Italian family that love Mexican food just as much as we do!
I’m starting with the most recent recipes that I’ve made on the acreage and that I know you will absolutely love!
Plus, I’m including several ‘sweet’ recipes to end your meals/party celebrations with a tangy but sweet ending that I found to be irresistible from cruising the web!
To pull up the end of this post, I’m sharing all of my most cherished ‘old’ Mexican recipes that I’ve previously posted here for those 100’s of new followers/readers that may have missed them from several years ago on the blog.
What you see here on this post is just about all of the Mexican recipes that I’ve prepared . . . those of you have followed me over the years know that we eat out to satisfy our need for our Mexican food ‘fix’. Because we have some awesome Mexican eateries in town, I just can’t rival them in my home kitchen!

I grew up in Texas so you know I have a love for Mexican food. What a nice roundup.
Karen,
Growing up in the Southwest must have certainly been a ‘delicious’ experience. Such a wonderful culture in our country as well. I lived in So. California and Arizona for 9 years and thoroughly enjoyed the region’s foods!
Ciao,

Karen, I tried to leave a comment on your blog post for Caribbean Chicken and it didn’t post. Here it is and I hope that you receive it:
Oh my gosh, Karen, I can just smell that wonderful aroma of Caribbean chicken. This brings back so many delicious memories of St. Thomas and the Turks and Caicos! Walking the streets with the unique smells was intoxicating. So few bloggers post recipes from the Caribbean and it has the most amazing foods! I’ll have to make this very soon! Thank you for sharing!
They all look very tasty! Have a great celebration, Roz.
We sure did Angie….lots of good food and good friends!
Ciao,
Roz
