Well happy Cinco De Mayo friends and family! I hope you enjoyed your day as much as we did. Chris and I (and Zoe) were invited to two different events today. First, swimming and a taco bar at Chris's aunt's followed by "Cinco de Perro", a dog birthday hosted by our good friends Reilly & Cecily and of course the doggie of the hour Maebe.
I decided to bring a dish to both events, so of course my morning started out in the kitchen. On the menu for today, queso blanco & dulce de leche ice cream. The night before I prepared the dulce de leche by boiling a can of condensed milk submerged in water for 3 hours. Then I prepared the custard with 3/4 of the can of dulce de leche and let it cool in the fridge overnight (I used Emeril's recipe). In the morning I popped it in my ice cream maker and then in the freezer to harden for the party!
For the queso blanco I used left over spicy hamburgers (hamburger meat, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning) I had made for dinner the night before, 2 cans of Rotel, and a block of Velveta Queso Blanco. Put all of the ingredients into the crockpot and done. Super easy and a big hit at parties!
We had a great Cinco de Mayo and hope that you did as well! Let me know how you celebrated in the comments page and share your favorite fiesta themed recipe if you'd like as well!
Happy Monday,
Courtney
