Sofrito Lovers,

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Today, we celebrate...something Mexican! Okay, fine! I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo, but what I do know is that this is a foodie holiday full of delicious Mexican food, copious amounts of Tequila, and kick ass parties!

For all you party planners, I've posted a great article, from Chowhound.com, that should help make your Cinco de Mayo party spread absolutely delicioso! There's nothing better than churros, quesadillas, and freshly made pico de gallo! Check out the post below and plan a party people will salivate over!

Party Friendly Foods for Cinco de Mayo



Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's unlikely victory against the French Army led by Napoleon III on May 5, 1862. To celebrate this win for the country just south of our border with the food we so love, there's an easy Mexican shrimp cocktail recipe you need to try. You'll need fresh shrimp, tomatoes, chipotle chiles, avocado, and cucumber for this recipe. Make your own tortilla chips or buy the best chips you can find. This is a good party food that goes beyond the regular cheese and bean dips, and even salsas.

Check out all of the recipes for Cinco de Mayo to make your celebration special.

CUBAN POT ROAST RECIPE – IN THE CROCKPOT!


Sofrito Lovers,

This was my 6th anniversary weekend!  David and I have been together 6 amazing years; he's my super "smoochie bear bear" and I love him! We were too busy celebrating so I couldn't cook but had I planned a meal it would've been the delicious Cuban Pot Roast Recipe from My Big Fat Cuban Family (BFCF).

BFCF is a hilarious, heart-warming, and unapologetically Cuban-American lifestyle blog that features all types of content; my favorite are the mouthwatering Cuban recipes.  YouTube Diva and all around Cuban American Princess, Jenny Lorenzo, mentioned the blog in one of her Abuela Mami unboxing videos and I decided to check it out and I loved it!

A few days ago, I found a recipe for Cuban Pot Roast prepared in a crock pot and I thanked God for the inspiration!  I'm in awe of this recipe's simplicity and preparation!  I'm making it for next Sunday night for sure!  I'll let you know how it turns out!

Check out the recipe below and get to crock pottin'!  Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!
