As we're only a few short days away from the Cinco de Mayo holiday, we wanted to round up a few fun ways to celebrate! Of course we recommend some low BITE queso and maybe a ranch water (aka a skinny margarita!). But, we wanted to also serve some creative inspiration for a few ways to honor and respect this day in more ways than just in the kitchen! By the way- have you seen all of the fabulous Tex-Mex style food we've shared on Instagram lately??
