Top 5 Recipes to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

 

Arriba arriba!!!

Who is ready for Cinco de Mayo?… or May 5th for all you gringos out there 😉

For most of us, we just use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to throw on a thick fake mustache and drink as many ‘margs’ as we can.

Can I get a “heck yeah!?”

Well…after some research, I learned the true meaning behind Cinco de Mayo from About.com.

“Literally “the Fifth of May,” Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican Holiday celebrating the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. In 1861, France sent a massive army to invade Mexico, as they wanted to collect on some war debts. The French army was much larger, better trained and equipped than the Mexicans struggling to defend the road to Mexico City. It rolled through Mexico until it reached Puebla, where the Mexicans made a valiant stand, and, against all logic, won a huge victory. It was short-lived, as the French army regrouped and continued; eventually taking Mexico City, but the euphoria of an unlikely victory against overwhelming odds is remembered every May fifth.”

So..in conclusion, this holiday…is for those underdogs of the world. The little victories that count.
