These Chicken and Corn Empanadas with Roasted Red Salsa are fun and easy to make,

and are the perfect handheld treat for your Cinco de Mayo celebration!

Happy Monday, friends! So Cinco de Mayo is just a few weeks away and I don't know about you, but I'm getting excited! You all know how much I love Mexican food, and each year I got all out and plan a big celebration for my family and close friends. We eat delicious food, drink, talk, laugh, and just straight up have a good 'ole time. It's definitely one of my favorite days of the year!

Cinco de Mayo falls on a Friday this year which gives us even more reason to celebrate. We can keep our party going all night long! I've already started menu planning and have been experimenting with some new recipes lately. These Chicken and Corn Empanadas were a hit with my kids and they've received a top spot on my Cinco de Mayo menu. They are simple to make and are so flavorful and delicious. And no forks are required to eat them, so that's a bonus!

Black Bean, Corn & Pepperjack Quesadillas

These black bean and corn quesadillas are cheesy, a bit spicy, and oh so delicious. 

Trust me when I say, the whole family will be asking for these again and again!

We all know I have a deep love for quesadillas, and so do my kids. From bean and cheese to steak to apples and cheese, there are a million different ways to make em'. My current obsession is this new vegetarian version - black bean, corn and pepperjack cheese. Yum, yum, and YUM! They are a breeze to make and perfect for a weeknight meal or even for lunch. They are packed full of flavor as well as fiber and protein to give you all the energy you need for a long night of homework, baseball games, or whatever else you might have going on.

Sweet Corn Salsa #HuskYeah

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Sunshine Sweet Corn from Florida. 

I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

It's that time of year again, time to start grilling! What I really mean is, let's grill allofthethings. I am seriously addicted to my grill during the warmer months. Lucky for me, my sons surprised with a brand new grill for Mother's Day! They even gave it to me early because they knew I wanted to grill for my mama on Mother's Day. Aren't they the sweetest?
