Cinco de Gloria Derby

We have a lot to celebrate this weekend.  There was the Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo is coming, and mostly, we have a new family member.  A sweet roly-poly lovebug named Gloria.  Here she is:


In honor of all these festivities, we invited some family over to share in all the fun.
 


We started with this Kentucky Hot Brown Pizza.  It is awesome.  I had to show restraint and only have two pieces.  I used homemade pizza crust, but otherwise pretty much kept everything else the same.  As a fresh tasting, tropical, nod to Mexican flavors, I tried this Pineapple Cucumber Salad.  It was yum!  In the future, I would make it with mint instead of cilantro because the lime/mint combo is fab.  Still, ecstatic to discover a new side salad combo that is simple and delicious.  My sister brought along some Apple Enchiladas to wrap things up on a high note.

We had a lovely time together enjoying the puppy, the out-of-doors, and each other's company.  Oh, and the food was pretty good too.
