It’s hard to believe we are already in May! Where is the year going? Do you have any fun plans for Cinco De Mayo? I am going to make tacos and margaritas, but plan on deviating from the carnitas recipe featured this week by making the pork in the slow cooker. If you follow the recipe on Thursday you will have to let me know how everything turns out!
When planning the menus for the month I found May a bit harder to stick to my goal of a different type of animal protein each night of the week. After going though all of my old May issues of Bon Appétit and Food and Wine, I found that there are a bunch of great desserts, cocktails, chicken and beef recipes featured, but not so many pork, lamb, seafood, etc. dishes that are easy to make in less than an hour. I wish I had a better idea of why that is! Do you have any great lamb or turkey recipes to recommend for later in the month?
As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and if you find my blog useful please share it with your friends.
