"Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with festive recipes, vibrant drinks, and party ideas inspired by Mexican culture and flavors." C i n c o d e M a y o Whether you're throwing a big fiesta or celebrating with your family, this collection has all the recipes you'll need. From entrees and appetizers to desserts and drinks, I have you covered for the perfect fiesta for Cinco de Mayo - May 5th 2025! A Day to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo (The Fifth of May) is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. It’s also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it’s somewhat of a minor holiday in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage in the United States, especially in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cino de Mayo Party Decorations When I think of Mexican decorations, I think of bold, bright, contrasting colors. I always use red, green, and white (yes, some yellows, reds, pinks, blues and more!) since those are the colors of the Mexican flag, from there choose 3 more colors that can be repeated throughout the decor. Paper Picado Banners strung from above and around tables. Large Tissue Paper Flowers are beautiful and easy to make. Children especially enjoy helping make these. Sombreros are fun to have both for decor and for picture opportunities. Piñata, In my opinion, is a must for any Mexican party. Fill with candies or small toys. Salsa cans are great for holding decor, flowers and succulents Candles – You can usually find these for cheap at the dollar store and they go great with the decor. Cinco de Mayo Party Tips Like any dinner party, you’ll want to plan your menu beforehand. Decide which dishes you want to make fresh and which dishes can be made ahead of time. (See the individual recipes for more storage and reheating information.) Mix in traditional favorites with a couple new dishes. Be sure to try out the new dishes beforehand to work out any recipe kinks. Use dishes with different flavors and textures. Be mindful that while some people love spicy hot Mexican food, others prefer a milder dish. I suggest labeling which dishes are spicy and which ones are milder. A great way around this is to prepare more mild dishes, but have hot sauce set out for those who want to give their plates a bit more kick Typically, for a meal with guests we like to have the following: APPETIZERS – 1-2 (Salsas + Dips can be made ahead of time.) SIDES – 1 (Rice is a great one that can be made ahead and kept WARM in the slow cooker or chafing dish) MAIN DISHES – 1-2 (That can be made ahead of time). Anything Fried is usually made right before serving. DESSERTS – 1 (Usually made ahead of time and extended with ice cream) DRINKS – 1-2 (Including water). It’s nice to have a flavored beverage (or two!), but make sure you have either plain or flavored water as well. So much decor can be found online, so be sure to check those out and then store for future uses. 😉 Cino de Mayo Desserts There are so many traditional Mexican desserts you can make to accompany your Cinco de Mayo meal besides the classic cinnamon churro ... Boost it by trying one of my favorite... Churro Cheesecake Bars . All of them are pretty simple to make and will pair perfectly with whatever entree you decide to serve! VIEW ALL POSTS Cinco de Mayo Beverages The most well-known Mexican style drink is probably Horchata, but I also love Mexican hot chocolate (you can turn it into a cold drink by preparing it like my Frozen Hot Chocolate ). You can also serve juices or smoothies with refreshing fruit flavors like mango, peach, or strawberry. And of course you can't forget about Tin Can Margaritas .

FOURTH OF JULY DESSERT, DRINKS & GIFT TIPS I love to entertain and make dishes to feed my family and friends. This holiday gives me the opportunity to bring it all outdoors. And one of the best ways to do that is with a dessert or special treat! Here are a few tips: Don’t stress if you don’t have time for dessert! There are great ideas in your local grocery store, but other store-bought ideas include: Ice cream cake, frozen pies, cookies, and of course cupcakes. Another easy dessert idea my homemade Cookies and Cream Dip , cream cheese fruit dip or cannoli dip and have star shaped fruits, marshmallows, mini cookies and more to dip in. Use mason jars as glasses for Lemonade , Party Punch or ice cold beers. ( You can even put them in the freezer before hand for a few hours for a nice touch!) Sprinkle the table with firework confetti, party poppers, and or red, white and blue candies. You can even add individually wrapped Cake Pops to each plate or spread on the table as a treat for after dinner. Make sugar cookies for a treat and let the kids frost and decorate them as a activity to keep them busy. Make a special jewelry piece as a gift for each of your friends, wrap in pretty party bags as parting gifts when each guest leaves for the night.

Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane: On a cute ceramic plate (great dollar store find) and then cover with plastic wrap or doily. Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper (Check out my firecraker container). Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! You can make fire Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages as well as individually wrapping each cake pop and tying off with a ribbon.

Whether you’re hosting the whole countdown crew or just helping put together a fabulous NYE spread, here are some handy tips to make sure your menu is festive, delicious, and just the right amount of extra. ✨ 🥂 How Much to Make for Your New Year’s Eve Party: 🎇 Festive Bites Plan for each guest to enjoy 4–6 appetizers. Offer a mix of hot and cold, sweet and savory, light and filling options to keep everyone satisfied while mingling. 🍽️ Side Kicks Plan for 3–4 different sides for a smaller group (6 guests or fewer). For every additional 5 guests, add another side. Want inspiration? Check out my Side Dishes Ideas to go with your apps! 🍸 Cheers to the New Year (Drinks) Whether it's bubbly cocktails or festive mocktails, plan for each guest to have 2 drinks in the first hour, and 1 per hour after. A standard serving is 6–8 oz. Keep both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options on hand! 🍰 Sweet Endings (Desserts) Plan to have at least 2 dessert options for every 10 guests. I always recommend one rich chocolate dessert and one fruit-based treat to please all the sweet tooths. Check out my collection of Desserts to Ring in the New Year! 🥗 Tips for Picking Your Party-Perfect Sides: Once your apps are locked in, it’s time to plan the sides! Here's how to build a balanced (and crowd-pleasing) variety. This is the perfect spot to bring out salads, and hot sides that go with everything: Use seasonal ingredients — they’re fresher and budget-friendly. Include at least one vegetable, one starch, and one salad for a well-rounded plate. Choose recipes that can be made or prepped ahead to reduce stress on party day. Mix the classic favorites with something new to surprise and delight your guests. Hosting 6 or fewer? Stick with 3–4 sides. For every additional 5 guests, add one more side dish. With a little planning and the right recipes, your New Year’s Eve menu will be one to remember — just like the night itself.

Whether you're going big or keeping it simple, here are some easy tips to create a setup that feels festive and fun: 🎇 Create a Backdrop Use fabric, curtains, twinkle lights, a balloon arch, or even a simple blank wall — anything to help your dessert colors pop in photos and add a little drama to the table! 🎂 Add Height and Layers Use tiered cake stands, stack books or boxes under tablecloths, or place platters on risers to create dimension. Varying the height makes the display more eye-catching. 🌸 Add Decorative Touches Flowers, candles, fairy lights, or a mini New Year’s sign can all add elegance and charm to the table. Even a few gold or silver accents go a long way! 💡 Helpful Dessert Table Tips: Make Ahead When You Can – Many desserts can be made in advance and even frozen. Check each recipe for make-ahead and freezer-friendly notes. Let Guests Help – Desserts are one of the easiest things to delegate when someone asks, “What can I bring?” Mix Homemade + Store-Bought – Don’t stress! If you’re short on time, supplement with bakery cookies, chocolates, or even candy trays. It’s all about presentation. 🎉 Easy New Year’s Dessert Ideas: Chocolate fondue bar – Set out marshmallows, fruit, cookies, and pretzels to dip into a rich chocolate or cream cheese dip. Decorate-your-own cookies – Bake sugar cookies ahead of time and let guests (especially kids!) decorate them with icing and sprinkles. Mini treats for everyone – Package up a few truffles or cookies in cute boxes or bags to place at each guest’s setting — a sweet surprise to take home. Festive drinks – Serve sparkling cider or punch in stemmed glasses to make it feel extra fancy (plastic works great for kids!). Sweet table scatter – Sprinkle M&Ms, chocolate kisses, edible confetti, or gold-wrapped candies around the table for an extra pop of fun. Make your dessert table just as memorable as the countdown itself — whether you go all out or keep it simple, a few thoughtful touches can turn your sweet spread into something truly special. 🥂 Here’s to a new year full of flavor, fun, and lots of dessert!

"Find the perfect Father’s Day gift ideas, recipes, and celebration tips to make dad feel special and appreciated." F a t h e r ' s D a y Why not spoil the men in our lives that we love so dear with an amazing meal?! These Father's Day dinner ideas will help you do just that. Give him a day he will never forget! I've got you covered for Father's Day 2025! Celebrate Dad With A Meal! I love celebrating Father’s Day and ensuring my husband is recognized and appreciated for all he does and for being the best father and hubby on the planet. One of the ways I celebrate is with a delicious homemade dinner on this special occasion! I will even recreate his favorite restaurant meal on occasion. Savory to sweet. There’s a mix of classic and unique main dishes , side dishes , and desserts for every skill level and taste preference! Gift ideas. Besides delicious recipes, we’ve included creative non-food ideas for celebrating Father’s Day, adding an extra special touch to the occasion. For every dad. Whether your dad is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, or loves a loaded salad , or a Pepperoni Pizza , there are plenty of yummy ideas to add to your Father’s Day menu. Delicious Menu Ideas To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Plan the Menu Whether you’re planning a small dinner for Dad or hosting a large gathering, planning your Father’s Day meal menu ahead of time helps: Watch local grocery store ads for sales. Make any new recipes ahead of time to work out trial and error. (Hey it happens to the best of us!) Make it a pot luck gathering. Allow friends and family to bring a dish. Include dishes that can be made ahead of time. (This is always a saver for me!) Make sure you have enough time and space to cook everything. Using a crock pot helps free up the oven and stovetop space. Grilling Tips A backyard barbecue is a common way we celebrate Father’s Day. Some Dads love to grill but others may appreciate a break from the duty. Here are a few tips to help you step in: Take the meat out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before grilling. Create a chart that lays out what item will be grilled in what section, as well as how long each piece of meat will need to cook. Do not overlap the different types of food before or during grilling. Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature of each type of meat. (Be sure to clean it off with soapy water between uses so you don't cross contaminate.) It can be tempting to poke, prod, and flip the meat, but don’t. It would help if you only flipped it once. By doing so you allow each side to heat up enough to start forming a nice caramelized crust. Grilling vegetables takes a fraction of the time as the meat. Since meat needs to rest once it is done cooking, this is a perfect time to reduce the heat and grill up your veggies. If you add BBQ Sauce or other flavorful sauces too early, it just tends to char. Allow your meat to cook almost completely before coating it with the sauce. Allow meat to rest for a few minutes before cutting. This will hold in the juices so you don't loose all the flavor . Best Father's Day Lunch & Dinner Ideas Grilled Steaks are always a hit with the guys. Marinated, or dry rubbed, and grilled to perfection with a side of corn on the cob and loaded baked potatoes and you're good to go! Or check out this long list of King-approved favorites that any guy is sure to love – like my finger licking, bite off the bone baby back ribs!

Here are some other fun ways to make the day special. To go all out, use your dad’s favorite hobby as a theme for the meal. Crown him “ King for the Day” and turn his seat at the table into a throne. Have kids help cook dinner. Younger kids can help wash produce, pour, and stir. Older kids can help peel and cut produce. They can measure and follow simple recipes. Teens 12+ should be able to cook on the stove and in the oven. Take him to his favorite ice cream parlor. Plan to do dad’s favorite activity- have a video game competition, go to a car show, go fishing, play catch or his favorite board game. Serve him breakfast in bed. (That's always a hit in my house!) Begin a memory book. Ask questions about his childhood and record the answers. Continue to ask new questions each week and present him with a completed book the next year.

These festive recipes & tutorials are sure to add extra magic (and a few giggles!) to your Halloween celebration! 👻🧁🍬 I've got you covered for October 31st! Halloween Party Food Tips Are you in charge or helping with the Halloween zombie bites or the full monster mash dinner this year? If so, here are som e of my tips to help you plan this special menu. How much to make for your Halloween party: Witching Appetizers: Plan for each guest to have 4-6 appetizers. Also, provide a variety of hot and cold, savory and sweet, light and heavy appetizers. Frankin-Sides: Plan to have 3-4 different sides for 6 or fewer guests. Add another side dish for every 5 more guests. C heck here for my Side Dishes . Monster Main Course: Plan to serve 6 ounces per person if you are serving one main dish. If you have more than one main course plan for 8 oz total per person. Check out my collection of Dinner Ideas . Slimy Cocktails & Mocktails: A serving is typically 6-8 oz. Plan for guests to have 2 servings in the first hour, and only 1 serving for every hour after. Spooky Desserts: Plan to have at least 2 dessert choices for every 10 guests. I always have at least one chocolate dessert and one fruit based dessert. Be sure to check out our collection of Desserts . Tips for Choosing Your Frankin-Sides... Once you have your main dish selected you can start planning sides, but with so many options, how do you do it? Use seasonal ingredients they’re often fresh and cost effective. Complete the meal using at least one of each of the following vegetables, starch and salad. Include sides that can be made or prepped ahead of time. Mix in new and unique with tried and true. Once you have the traditional starch, veggie and salad recipes picked out go ahead and add something new. For 6 or fewer guests have 3-4 different sides, then add one more side for every 5 guests.

Setting up a dessert table: The dessert table design should be just as pleasing to look at as the desserts are to eat. Use a backdrop: drape curtains/fabric, balloons, a window with a view, even a plain wall can make colors pop. Incorporate height with tiered cake stands, stacked books or platforms under a table cloth layover. You can also add height by placing bowls and platters on some type of solid base. Flowers are always a nice accent to a dessert table. More Tips: Many desserts can be MADE AHEAD of time, and leftovers can often be kept in the freezer. See the individual recipes for freezing details. Desserts are a very easy item to delegate when guests ask what they can bring. Scary Great Decor Tips I love to make each and every holiday a special day for my Husband. And one of the best ways to do that is with a dessert or special treat! Here are a few tips: Use Spooky Decor - Dark colored plates in orange, black, monster green, blood red and vampire purple make the table festive. Even a few balloons or a scary bouquet centerpiece make it look special. Don’t stress if you don’t have time for dessert! There are great ideas on this list, but other store-bought ideas include: frosted cookies from your local stores bakery department , colorful chocolate covered peanut butter cookie ghosts and monsters peeps, or favorite candy bars for each guest or kid. Another easy dessert idea is FONDUE!! Use my homemade cookies and cream dip , cream cheese fruit dip or cannoli dip and have fruits, spooky marshmallow peeps, mini cookies and more to dip in. Use stemmed water glasses for a witches brew punch to make it more special. (Use plastic for the kiddos.) Sprinkle the table with spooky marshmallow peeps, M&M candies, chopped up candy bars or other Halloween candy. You can even add a small box of Oreo truffles to each plate as a treat for after dinner. Make sugar cookies for a treat and let the kids frost and decorate them during the party or after dinner.

Gifting cookies is big tradition for me, so here are some of my top tips for packaging and gifting cookies for any holiday or occasion: The easiest is to put the cookies in a store bought box or tin. Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane! On a cute ceramic plate cover with plastic wrap or doily . Stack cookies in a pyramid form.

All the meal plans are free and include a downloadable PDF with the meals, suggested pairings and a printable grocery/checklist to help you keep organized. I hope you enjoy these free meal plans that I have created for you ! What You Get... If you’re looking for an easy, practical and organized meal plan to help you plan out your meals for the week, these weekly meal plans are perfect for you. Don’t stress about what to cook each week. Grab my meal plans to figure out “what’s for dinner tonight”. 5 Dinner Ideas 1 Breakfast Idea 1 Snack & Beverage 1 Dessert Optional Side Dish Pairings FREE Printable Grocery List Meal Plan Summary Each meal plan includes a breakdown of the recipes for the week so that you don’t have to search through recipe sites, screenshots, and bookmarks to plan your week. You’ll find hand-picked recipes by me based on the most popular recipes, the most trusted and tested recipes, and the most efficient recipes that you’ll want to make over and over again! Using a weekly meal plan saves time and money at the grocery store and in the kitchen while keeping your meals fresh and healthy. FREE Grocery List Most of the meal plans include recipes for a family of four. The recipes tend to have similar ingredients to minimize the number of grocery trips you’ll need to make and reduce waste. You’ll notice that each grocery list is divided by sections in a grocery store to make shopping easier for you. You can print out this grocery list or copy/paste it into a grocery list app and check things off as you buy them at the store. The meal plan grocery lists are a life saver! Why Start Meal Planning? From my own experience through life, there is nothing worse then the thought of "What should I make for dinner?" or "Damn, I forgot to take something out to defrost for dinner"? while sitting at work mid day; or the dreaded text message from your spouse or kiddo asking "What's for dinner?" And you have nothing more to say other than... "I have no idea!" Trust me... I was even tired of hearing my own answer too! Having a meal plan for the week will eliminates this stress from your life all together, which is one great benefit I have gained in my life now! Besides having a plan in place, there are several other benefits of meal planning, including: Cutting Cost: Now that inflation has become a huge problem... This is major concern for all of us. When you have a plan set in place, and a specific list of groceries, you eliminate cost wasted on impulse items or produce that never gets used. Now, this isn't counting your snacks you may like to add to your pantry or fridge for the week. Little to No Waste: Wasting money makes me want to cry. I was raised frugal, so it has been instilled in me since I was a child. No wasted money, and no wasted food! Having a set grocery list will help to avoid both of those issues. Variety & Change: My meal plan project is specializing to include a lot of variety, this helps from having the same repetitive meals weekly and hearing "This again!?" So I have compiled menus with a change of Mexican , Asian , Irish , Italian and even Breakfast for Dinner! You and your family can now travel all over the world right from your kitchen table! No More Dinner Roulette: I did some research, and came across something that made me have an Oprah "Ah Ha" moment. Did you know about “decision fatigue” ? It's when you can’t make a decision bases on having to make so many and in this case a big one on something ( like what to make for dinner ) it actually makes you mentally tired. No wonder I would get tired and have an instant migraine when the thought came into my head! When your dinners/daily meals are already planned out, you avoid dealing with this completely! Healthy Habits Without Even Realizing: When you plan/anticipate making well-rounded meals, you’re much more likely to actually make them rather than defaulting to convenience foods like boxed mac and cheese, tuna helper, frozen meals meals, or unhealthy fast food! Home made foods are always going to be a better choice, as you control what is being added to your dishes. Doin't get me wrong, I have my "cheat days" and grab a nasty, greasy burger and fries here an there... 😉 We are all human and always on the go these days! But as you can see, there are SO many benefits to meal planning!
