Happy Cinco de Mayo! My family is criz-azy about Mexican food. The Hubs’ nickname is “Taco”, if that tells you anything. When we started eating super healthy, I had to find a way to make Mexican as healthy as possible, cause there was NO WAY we could give that up! Fortunately, I succeeded at the healthy versions (whew!) that are actually even MORE tasty than the old way. Thank God. We are not exaggerating when we say we are truly Mexican Food fans, but as far as we know, there is no Mexican blood running through our veins, surprisingly. Here are a few ways we know we are authentic fans. Take the test for yourself.

If you have one of these sitting in your breakfast or dining room all year long, you’re a true Mexican food fan. No, we don’t wait until Cinco de Mayo. He’s out all year.

So, did you pass the test? Didn’t think so. Happy Cinco de Mayo anyway!
