Aye Aye Aye==Cinco de Mayo week

Do you feel like eating like a fatty tonight? If you are being lame and answer No then read one of my lower calorie meals. TaTa.
If you're awesome and said "Why not" continue.
It's the week of Cinco de Mayo and therefore time to eat, drink and be merry. So to kick off the Mexican inspired food week I took a request from a 7 year old and made nachos.
Nachos don't have to be just chips, cheese and salsa. Use your imagination and fix up something bordering on gourmet. This is also a great time to use leftover meats. Tonight I used the beans from a left over chili I made this weekend as well as left over stredded tri tip. Use different cheeses. Swap Cheddar for pepper jack or make it an Italian nacho and use shredded and cubed mozzarella, basil and tomatoes. Crumbled chorizo is also a favorite--or bacon, ham, meat from a store bought rotisserie chicken (flashbacks).
So one of these nights excite your children and make bar food for dinner. Just do a bit of extra cardio the next day.
