Margaritas! Taco's! Ohana!

Cinco de Mayo!
Fiesta feast with the ohana! This is how to celebrate a holiday.

History says, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage.

Although I may have French ancestry, supposedly all the way to Napoleon, who in fact, history says caused this war...ummmm, I don't know any of my French relatives and I like a party! I do love Mexican food, which Napoleon may have as well :) maybe it's why he wanted his own piece of Mexico.

Taco's are so easy to make and yummy! Customize your own fillings on a good tortilla just the way you like it.

You can make it as healthy as you want, or really naughty! Must watch my boys, so they don't get carried away with the toppings.

This will feed my whole family plus leftovers for the week! Who doesn't love Mexican food?

For my Portuguese boys, I made a small batch of malasada's and tried to fill them with good vanilla bean ice cream. Sort of...the malasada batter melted off and I ended up making flat pancakes and scooping the ice cream on top.

The attempt to deep fry the ice cream was still yummy, just not pretty. Need more practice and an hour long hula practice session before bed to burn it off 0.0

Happy Healthy Eating!
Love Always,
Maile

Easy French Tips Tip ;)

I don't always have the time to go to the nail salon, and when I finally had an event to go to and looked at how bad my peeling nail polish looked, I remembered and old trick for an easy French tip manicure.

Tape is awesome for not just taping things closed or sticking things to things...you can also use tape for getting great manicures at home.

I love painter's tape. Just like those commercials you see on tv, make the nice straight lines with the painters tape and then paint. You can be as messy as you want. Then carefully remove the tape to reveal the perfect straight edge of color. Gorgeous!

Clear gift tape works ok to, seriously you could make anything work, even some junk mail will do. I admit that would be more challenging but if you could pull it off, that is talent ;)

So save yourself some time, and money. Even if you splurged on the fanciest nail polish, it would still be cheaper than the nail salon, and that's not even including tip$!

Have a great week, and even better it's almost over and the weekend will be back again! I'm loving this life, I hope you are having fun today to.

Many blessings always.

Aloha,
Maile
