Mother's Day 2014

Hey all, how was your weekend? On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with my parents by eating my mom's favorite cuisine - Tex-Mex!

We chose Mesa Rosa because it is the halfway point between our houses. I had spinach quesadillas. Tons of spinach inside, just how I like them.

Later, we ended up at a second Mexican restaurant, El Mercado, so that Jackson and Olivia could get rid of an abundance of energy.

Tony and I enjoyed frozen margaritas in the beer garden while the kids played to their sweaty, grimy heart's content.

Olivia loves mist machines!

Wonderful little playground, a perfect place for families to relax.

The children's playhouse cracked me up. Nice advertising!

Hope you had a nice Mother's Day!

Enchis and Ritas

Today I took the kids to the All Abilities playground. It's a one-of-a-kind park designed to be both fun and therapeutic for all kids including those with disabilities or sensory issues. It's also huge! We spent all morning there.

There's a boat that gently sways back and forth, perfect for my pirates.

There's an entire pretend town...including a gas station with slushy machines! Olivia found them most interesting.

For dinner, I made enchiladas filled with tofu scramble and spinach, topped with chile verde sauce and black olives.

I made mango margaritas for Tony and me. I love frozen margaritas, but I don't love all the sugar, so I made my own and sweetened them with stevia. 

Once I was out on the deck, kicked back with my feet up, with a mango rita in my hand, I felt as happy and relaxed as Jackson on the giant swing.

Hope you have a great weekend, and remember to enter my AfroVegan cookbook giveaway which ends Sunday!
