Cinco de Mayo is next week…May 5th! While I don’t do much to celebrate (except maybe enjoy some chips and salsa with a margarita or two), I think this recipe would be a good side dish for all those Mexican meals. Unlike a lot of Mexican food, this rice dish is fairly healthy. It is […]

I believe that every good party needs a dessert table! In some cases, the dessert table may be ALL you need. That was the case when we celebrated our youngest daughter’s first communion.
