Fiesta time is almost here, not just because it's almost Cinco de Mayo. It's much more than that. We are about to flip the calendar from April to May and hopefully we can close the door on winter...finally! I can't wait to get out into the garden to plant and just sit in the sun with a glass of sweet tea! Yes, reason enough to celebrate with a fiesta! Warm temperatures and Cinco de Mayo celebrations mean you need some fiesta style recipe ideas. Here's a good one...
Shrimp Avocado Tostadas are an easy to assemble Mexican inspired dinner or snack.
