Hard to believe that we are sitting here at the back end of summer already!! My kids are getting ready to head back to school in one short week - sophomores this year - and I am trying to figure out how to make this last week slow down, somehow... They turned 20 this summer, but I don't think this will EVER be easy for me - no matter how old they are!!! I miss them already and they haven't even left!
So anyway - on to this month's theme... MARGARITAS!! Yep - We still have some summer left - so let's say Ole` and get down to business... I've got hand-painted margarita glasses, a new Wine-A-Rita called "Senorita", cheeseballs, cocktail napkins, and a yummy new dressing/marinade from Stonewall Kitchen in Cilantro Lime... everything you need for an "end-of-summer Mexican themed hoopla of a good party" !!! Oh ya - and let's not forget a couple of recipes! How about some fresh homemade salsa and a Mexican chopped salad... And, my goodness, let's not forget dessert!! I have got a really fun recipe for Margarita cupcakes - but it was just too long to include in the newsletter! Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the link to my email. I will email you the recipe - as long as you save me a cupcake!! (Just kidding... kinda!) Two more quick ideas on this month's Mexican theme. When you mix up a batch of the fresh salsa - I saw somewhere where they suggested using a sombrero to serve the chips in ... cute, huh!? And if you're watching that waistline - I've come up with a kind of fun way to enjoy a little "Mexican summertime beverage". I bought some of that low-cal, low-carb margarita drink mixer from "On the Border" (No alcohol), and I simply mix it in with sparkling water and ice - and I think it's quite tasty! I use about a 2 parts sparkling water to 1 part Margarita mix. Warning tho- this is pretty tart! If you like it a bit sweeter, maybe mix it with diet Sprite or 7-up?? Anyway - it's definitely guilt free!
Cheers!
