Cinco de Mayo Dinner Party — Time to Plan!

by

Today is your first weekend of planning for your Cinco de Mayo dinner party! If you’ve been following along at Elementary Chef, then you already have a lot of the bases covered! At the end of these posts, I’ll include a list of the links you need so far to prepare for your guests! This weekend, you need to think about who you’re going to invite and INVITE them! I recently learned of a new invitation site — www.mypunchbowl.com. These folks already have 2 ready-designed Cinco de Mayo invites, and the site is very easy to navigate. Think in terms of inviting 6-8 people, depending on your comfort level.

Here is our menu:
- Margaritas, Dos Equis, Iced Tea
- Nachos Grande
- Soft and hard tacos
- Chili relleno
- Mexican rice
- Refried beans
- Flan

The rest of the recipes will come in the next 2 weeks, along with a detailed shopping list. Invite away!
