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.

So much fun! I am so glad that you had a great time celebrating!
Happy Birthday Jordan. Mama Kathy loves sharing her recipes as much as everyone loves eating them.
And Mama Kathy loves being Jordan's 2nd mom!
Jordan reported that all the food was excellent and he loved that cilantro lime rice. You've inspired us to do a theme meal for Mother's Day and I must say your pics are mouth watering to say the least. Gotta try that rice.....yum!
Happy birthday, just a little late, Jordan! Mama K gave us a full report of the festivities when they were here last weekend. It all looked delicious!
Mom - we're doing a themed meal for Mom's Day too. Any chance you and Anita want to fly back to MN and cook it for me? : )
