Birthday Plans


I am planning our big fiesta for the weekend. I cannot believe Jack will be 1. I know everyone always says that, but I REALLY can not believe it!! We are going Mexican since he is a Cinco de Mayo baby, and My husband is a Spanish teacher and will take any opportunity to fix Margaritas. Not that Jack will have them. I am still planning the menu, but for the main dish I am thinking Grilled Margarita Shrimp and Steak Fajitas. I am tweaking the recipe I found, so I will post it tomorrow. I will more than likely do black beans and rice. That is a favorite in our home and something Jack can eat. I am stuck on everything else. Any suggestions?

Happy Birthday to your cute boy!

Have you chosen a dessert yet? I'm planning to try a Mexican chocolate cake soon (from April's Southern Living magazine). Haagen Daaz makes a yummy Mexican chocolate ice cream, too.

Actually the Haagen Daaz flavor is called Mayan Chocolate. It is delicious!

Anne,
Thanks for the suggestions. I may use them both. This small family party is turning out to be bigger than I had planned. It's funny how crazy we go for a birthday they will never remember.
