Cinco De Mayo Table

The Painted Apron did me proud with a beautiful tablescape. The foyer table is ready for Cinco de Mayo and a fiesta of flavors with small faux cacti that can become party favors. How seriously on point is this for this weeks theme?

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Can we celebrate without Tacos, I think not. This easy crockpot chicken tacos recipe from Organized Island doesn’t get any easier with 3 simple ingredients in your slow cooker. These just take a few minutes of prep time and they practically cook themselves.
