Even though Jordan's birthday was April 27, we celebrated it this last Saturday. His request was Mexican food so we put together a Mexican Fiesta for him. The menu was Chicken Enchiladas, Carnitas, Carne Asada, Miami Black Bean and Corn Salad, Mexican Rice, Cilantro/Lime Rice, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Chips, and Fruit Kabobs. It was a lot of work, but so fun and worth it! Many thanks to
his 2nd mom, Kathy for all the recipes she emailed me - we used most of her family's favorites and then some!
Of course, what's a day at the lake without going for a spin around it or casting the fishing line in?
Jordan's dessert request was cheesecake and homemade chocolate chip cookies. Wish my cousin Cheryl was here from AZ - her cheesecakes are out of this world! Since she wasn't here, Costco's had to suffice.
Happy #17 Jordan! Wow. . . .
Loved the cute little chili pepper picks and had to add them to the cheesecake.
