¡Está delicioso!

Both Sam and I were born and raised in Arizona and we LOOOVVVEE Mexican food.  Every single time we go home to visit we HAVE to go to this amazing Mexican food restaurant in Sam's home town.  The good people at Casa Manana know his family and practically have their orders memorized.  No exaggeration there.  With our love of spicy food this present would have been perfect for us!  Its perfect for anybody who needs a little "spice" in their life too.  A Mexican food themed gift basket!


 Some things to consider putting in your Mexican-inspired basket:
  • Salsa (lots of varieties)
  • Taco Shells
  • Tostadas
  • Re-fried Beans
  • Green Chiles
  • Jalapenos
  • Spices
  • Cooking Utensils
  • Recipes
  • I found some great potholders and an apron with a chile pepper pattern

This gift tag also includes a recipe for Green Chile Casserole.  It's my grandma's recipe and it is one of the dishes that made an appearance at our Christmas dinner this year.  Yes, we had Mexican food for Christmas, no ham and potatoes for us!  I told you we loved it!  I highly recommend printing two copies, one for yourself to keep and one to include in the wedding gift.

    We make a recipe that's very similar to this and it's YUMMY! I'm pretty sure I could eat salsa and chips everyday.

    This is such a fantastic idea. I love Mexican food too and hope someone would give me something like this. I'm keeping this one in my Favourites! Just wanted to thank you for linking up on my Thriving on Thursdays linky party last week. It's on again tomorrow (Thursday Australian time) and we'd love to see what you've been up to.

    How cute, and just perfect for my aunt's upcoming wedding (an older couple who were both recently widowed). Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with the rest of us!
