Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner, in fact it is tomorrow.  There are many ways to get in on the celebration.  Here in the Reno/Sparks area, there is a huge party; music, food and people galore.

If huge crowds aren’t your style or if your like me and don’t feel like herding your little ones through a crowd, consider festivities at home.  The easiest way to do that is with food.  Some of my favorite dishes are warm cozy home food that my Nana use to make ( my Abuela didn’t like the title so we called her Nana.)

My absolute favorite and not hard to make meals are Albondigas and Sopa, click on the links for my recipes.  Now if you have time, like a day or two…  Tamales are delish…

This year we are going to stick to the simple and have a taco night.  I’ll stop by my favorite tortilla shop – El Rosals – for fresh tortillas (a great place for fresh masa when your ready to tackle those tamales).  Along with the taco’s I’ll serve fried papas, Spanish rice and refried beans.

How about something really easy to make?  Salsa…
