Is it time to eat yet?

I'm starting to wonder about myself. My last few posts have been mostly about food.....when did I turn into such a foodie? My sis-n-law and I spent another fun day cooking. The theme for this party was Mexican!! We cooked the ENTIRE day again.(We fed 14 and cooked enough for 40) There was some serious cooking going on........
First up, homemade Taquitos. The steak filled deep fried kind (not for the faint of heart) Of course we made a large batch of Guacamole and some Corn salsa to eat with them.Then my Sis-in-law made these FABULOUS Jalapeno Poppers. These might have been my favorite of the day!!!

How about a close-up?

The Chicken Burritos? I couldn't finish a half of one! (of course I had been eating for the past 5.5 hours straight)

We also made Chorizo Queso Dip, Cilantro Lime Rice, Re-fried Beans, Beef Tortillas and Tacos. Not to mention all the Chips and Salsa.
And for the "Gran final"
Fried Ice Cream with Fresh Whipped Cream and some Honey.....


There was a lot of napping going on after dinner that night. I really don't think I ate for an entire day after! I love, love spending time with my family. The memories we are making are worth all of the work we put into the meals. I enjoy every minute of it and wish I had taken some more pictures....


I'm not sure why I always feel like I need to include my furry friends in my posts. They must be more of a part of my family than I thought!
The next cooking day is already in the works. I can't wait!
