Did you know that Hormel owns tons of different brands?  They do! including brands that are perfect for Cinco De Mayo, like Chi Chi’s, La Victoria, and more.   I typically do not celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but I am trying to teach my kids about different cultures and traditions.

So this year I decided to have my own little celebration. I know it’s not really authentic, but I tried.

W made chicken and beef taco’s with ChiChi’s tortillas, Chi Chi’s Chips, La Victoria Salsa.

I am not the best cook and i hate shredding chicken for taco’s so i just used Hormel’s chicken in a can.

We also had beef taco’s refried beans and of course chips and salsa.

How did you celebrate Cinco De Mayo?

This is my favorite time of year, well sometimes. Just depends on if the snow goes away. LOL! This year April has been very nice, plus Earth Day is in April. I love Earth day.

We celebrated by having a picnic and cleaning up the park and the streets around out house.

I used my new reusable bag, which I love for outing and picnics.

I love to picnic and my kids love to do it too. Our sandwiches were all Hormel’s Natural choice Turkey and Ham. I love that the packaging is made 100% from recycled materials. Our picnic was all Earth friendly, sandwiches were packed in reusable containers, we had reusable water bottles and recyclable juice boxes.

April 22nd marks the 43rd anniversary of the celebration of Earth Day! This year, the Earth Day Network announced that the main focus of Earth Day will be to help put a face to climate change. One of the easiest ways to help prevent climate change is through a commitment to minimizing waste and recycling as much as possible. In order to make Earth Day a success, it is essential that each and every person set environmental goals, contribute and do their part.

What efforts do you and your family make to try and minimize your carbon footprint? What is your favorite “eco-friendly” activity?

Yes, I know St. Patricks Day has come and gone, but being Irish the food is alway here to stay!!  Although most people go for the traditional corned beef and cabbage on St. Patricks Day, I don’t.   We do a a family breakfast every year, we have eggs, toast and Hash.

Life can get so stressful at times that cooking the hash just isn’t possible and we always look for the easy way out. Luckily Hormel brand Mary Kitchen has Corned Beef Hash in a can for those easy recipes. It is actually quite good  in certain recipes.

Our St. Patricks Day breakfast turned out great.

The hash mixed in with a cheese omelet and bacon was so very good. I love our breakfast tradition.
