10 Tasty Recipes for Cinco de Mayo

 

May is here and that means Cinco de Mayo is upon us. In Mexico its significance is to commemorate the Battle of the Puebla in which Mexican soldiers overtook occupying French soldiers (who would later regain power) and slowed their advance to Mexico City. Here in America, it’s a celebration of Mexican-American culture, which basically means eating a lot of food and drinking Corona. And since I live where I live, I’m going to help you do that with a great roundup of Mexican-inspired recipes that will help you celebrate from morning through the evening.

Below are only 10 of the many dishes on the site that could’ve fit into this post—I love cooking this kind of food!—so if you do a search you can find everything else.



Have a great Cinco de Mayo, friends! And let me know what you’ll be eating in the comments below.

Hi there! 👋 It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. Turns out training for a marathon takes just about all of your effort. Who knew? But I’m back now with what I hope will be the first of consistent weekly recipes (at least until the next marathon 😂).

This one is for Baked Tofu and Baby Bok Choy. It’s SUPER simple and takes very little effort. Plus it’s totally versatile too; you can serve it with rice, with noodles, or even in a soup—whatever you’re feeling on the day. 

I used @nasoya’s extra firm tofu here because it’s non-GMO Project verified, USDA organic, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free. All the things I look for when buying products these days.

I’m so happy to be back sharing recipes and can’t wait to pit a few more out there in the upcoming weeks!
Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so man Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so many more people are trying out the vegan lifestyle. That means a lot fewer animals on plates, which is great for a whole bunch of reasons. If this is your first foray into eating this way, let me help. I’ve put together ten really easy to make, really tasty recipes to get you started. There’s something for every time of day, and if you build on this list with some of the other myriad resources out there you’ll be set for the whole month! The link to the post is in my profile.

I’m also here to help in whatever way you need, so please do DM me if you have any questions about going vegan for Veganuary. Happy eating!
Yes it’s 60 degrees in New Jersey in December 😬. But that’s still comfort food weather to me, and nothing fits the bill better than this Beefless Beef Stew with @gardein Beefless Tips—a long-time reader favorite on the NFV website. It’s hearty and totally delicious. Grab the recipe link in my profile and enjoy!
We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our t We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our town of Montclair. They offer a vegan version they is out of this world. But whenever we order from them Laura and I are equally, of not more, excited about the edamame they serve: it’s tossed in chili oil and charred. So amazing. Of course I had to take a shot at recreating it for the site and this Chili-Charred Edamame recipe was born. It’s great as either an appetizer or a snack! Check out the recipe at the link in my profile.
