Your choice of meat to grill isn't usually a problem.  We all have our favorite meats, flavors and sauces.  But, what do you serve with it?  Potato salad, maybe.  Chips, for sure!  Corn on the cob?  Yup!  But, don't forget the beans which are a summertime staple (and loaded with protein)!  Here is a tasty recipe from Taste of Home to round out your picnic fare this weekend.  It makes a BIG batch, so you may need to do some math and cut the recipe in half.

Some people use Cinco de Mayo as a great reason to drink margaritas.  I’ve always enjoyed tequila and margaritas, even on the 5th of December or June, or September.  I know that margaritas aren’t that hard to make from scratch, but I prefer to buy the mixes and just add tequila.  However, not all mixes are created equal.  Here some favorites of mine that I think you’ll enjoy too.

I was making meatloaf from scratch the other day, I usually use a mix with the meat that gives me the oven temp and how long to cook it, so I was at a loss.  I turned to the internet and while  I was getting the answers I needed, I also found that my meatloaf could have been prepared in my bread machine (yay, it would get used!)  After some research, I found other uses for my bread machine.
