Mexican Fiesta Cooking Club

Nancy hosted this month's cooking club, and we had a Mexican fiesta! Her cookmates were Summer and Valerie. Nancy kicked things off with Mexican chupacabra margaritas! Featuring fresh-squeezed blood oranges!



Cheers!



Nancy also made some bright, fresh tomato salsa.



Summer made these lovely avocado mousse with shrimp!



Tequila shots, of course!



Valerie made a delightful corn, black bean and avocado salad. What delicious flavors!



Summer made mushroom poblano posole verde. The hominy and pepitas were my favorite!



Nancy made Veracruz-style tuna empanadas!



And Valerie finished us up with chocoflan. Soooo rich!!! Decadent!

Happy birthday, Vana!

It's Vana's birthday! We celebrated with a party at her house. Little Italy pizza for dinner!



Chocolately chocolate cake for dessert!



Jasper was into it.



Lighting the candles.



Make a wish, birthday girl!



Happy birthday, Vana!
