¡Hola, amigos!
Today I'm preparing to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in true cavy style!
As a reminder, Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It’s a day of courage, pride, and of course, lots of festive fun!
I'm so excited! ¡Vamos a celebrar!
First, we need ambiance.
I love music — as long as it's quiet and relaxing! So we're going to play my favorite Spanish guitar tunes softly in the background.
Next come the games.
Big Momma got me my very own piñata — made from hay and twigs, of course! It’s so much fun — and yummy too.
Finally, it’s time for my fiesta favorite — treats!
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I'm snacking like a true foodie — fresh, natural, and straight from the land, just like the traditions that have flavored Mexican culture for centuries!
First comes my Dandelion Forage Tray — a delightful mix of dandelion greens and herbs that's perfect for nibbling during the festivities.
Then come the Dried Bell Peppers (or pimientos). Peppers are used in lots of delicious dishes — like fajitas, salsas, and salads — to add color, sweetness, and crunch without too much spice.
So when I’m munching on my colorful Dried Bell Peppers, I’m snacking in true fiesta style!
And no fiesta is complete without dessert!
Did you know apples have been part of Mexican farms and celebrations for centuries? My Apple Pea Flake Healthy Snackers are the perfect sweet touch for my fiesta!
After all that partying, snacking, and playing, it will be time for a much-needed nap — because every good fiesta deserves a cozy siesta!
So how will you be celebrating?
Whether it’s music, games, or just a little favorite snack time, I hope your day is muy maravilloso!
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
