May: The Month of CELEBRATIONS!!
May is typically a fun-filled month for my family, because you know -- cinco de Mayo is an Irish holiday and we celebrate like you wouldn't believe. I am kidding.

So May 12th-May 15th is crazy. May 1st: Does anyone remember the Maypole? When I was in pre-k, we conducted this annual tradition which consisted of a dance around the maypole to welcome spring.

I cooked up a storm all by myself, which is seriously one of my favorites. I made avocado salsa with homemade pita chips, carne asada, and margarita
