Well my friends, today is the last day of May, and I am happy to report that I successfully completed the Month of May Mexican Food Challenge! There were days when I really had to juggle things around in order to get my fix....but I persevered through the end. You can check out my calendar that lists all my meals, on the left side of this page. I am also proud to say that some days I even did double duty and ate it for more than one meal!
In honor of my last day, I decided to cook myself up a Mexican feast! I started both my crock pots when I got up this morning (which wasn't until 10....and boy that felt good!) and came home to the house filled with wonderful smells. I made green chile beef and refried beans. It was a yummy end to the challenge. I will be posting both recipes soon!
I will still be enjoying my beloved beans on a regular basis, but just not everyday!

Month of May Mexican Food Challenge
Hola Amigos!!! As most of you can tell from the name of my blog....I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!!! Last year, I decided that I was going to eat Mexican food everyday from May 1 - May 5 in honor of Cinco de Mayo, well, I got a bit carried away and just kept going! I made it all the way to May 24th without missing a day, I would have made it the whole month, but that is the day that I left on a vacation for New York, and while New York is known for many things, Mexican food is not one of them. So sadly, my mission came to an abrupt end. (Although, I did fulfill my original goal!)
Well, May has come around once again, and since I don't have any trips planned for this month, I am going to give it another whirl and challenge myself to eat Mexican food everyday for the month! You can follow my progress by clicking the link on the left of the page that says, Calendar. I will post my meals there to help keep me honest on this adventure, but don't worry, I will still be trying out new restaurants, most likely Mexican and sharing some recipes.
So here are the rules:
1) One meal per day must be of Mexican origin
2) Leftover food from a previous Mexican experience counts
3) Eating Mexican twice in one day does not cover a missed day (but is very yummy!)
4) Just having a churro at Costco doesn't count
5) Just because it is in a tortilla doesn't mean it is Mexican!
So to my friends out there, if you ask me to dinner or lunch for the Month of May, be prepared to go out for Mexican food....otherwise I will reschedule with you for June!
