Cinco De Mayo 2017

May 3, 2017 By Beth Nydick

If I had to choose to eat one food for the rest of my life it would be Tacos. I love them in all shapes. There is a restaurant down the jersey shore called, Surf Taco, they call themselves coastal cuisine with fresh whole ingredients, fresh made pico & Verde salsa plus the are founded on: Eat Fresh, eat healthily and eat tasty. You know that is exactly what I love.

A few years ago the hubby and I threw an epic Cinco De Mayo Party. He made lime Jello shots – he really is the best. Here is the recipe he used by Jaymee Sire on Brit + Co.:

Lime Jello Shots

This will make approximately 24 lime “wedge” jello shots – 6-8 limes

– 3 ounces fresh squeezed lime juice
– 1-ounce water
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 package Knox unflavored gelatin (2 teaspoons)
– 3 ounces good quality tequila
– 1 ounce Grand Marnier or Cointreau (or Triple Sec if you must)
– sea salt and/or large crystal sugar, for garnish

To keep limes secure, place them in a mini muffin pan. Combine lime juice, an ounce of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin and allow it to soak for a minute or two. Warm over medium heat, stirring until sugar and gelatin dissolve. Stir in tequila and Grand Marnier and pour into lime halves. (I recommend using something with a spout like a measuring cup).

Allow to refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Once jello has set up, cut into wedges. Serve with a small bowl of sea salt or large crystal sugar for dipping.

 

Make your own Cinco De Mayo Fiesta with the following recipes from some of my favorite bloggers & lifestyle experts.

Mexican Street Corn Tostadas

These simple, vegetarian and gluten-free tostadas are topped with a spicy black bean puree and piled high with creamy, cheesy Mexican street corn. (from Turnip the oven)

Mexican Street Corn Tostadas

30 Minute Posole  

Quick and simple to make – plus it’s all in one bowl. Even a good way to get those extra veggies into your family.

 

 

 

 

 

Guacamole

It’s not always as simple as avocado and citrus, kick it up a notch with this recipe from Smitten Kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

Mexican Fruit salad

This Mexican fruit salad is a fun and refreshing take on fruit salad for those days when you’re looking for something a little different and unexpected. Serving it in a pineapple is optional, but it just adds to the fun and turns it into a dish that’s perfect for a potluck or BBQ! (from Dinner at the Zoo)

 

Minty Margarita

Tequila Minty Margarita

I love these two flavors together, mint and citrus. Make a big pitcher these move fast.

Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a hea Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a healthy dinner when you have roasted a whole bunch of veggies. Last nite I made zucchini with scallion, carrots with parsley , tomato with garlic and it took me 5 minutes. Here is how to make veggies fast and tasty.
1. Pull all the veggies you have in the house that you can cook. Pick 3 to 4.
2. Chop everything into big pieces or keep whole.  3. Add to a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Get really crazy and peel some garlic to throw in. Put it all onto 1 or more oiled pans.
4. Roast the shit out of them. 375’ for 20-40 minutes is always a safe bet. You can always ask Alexa or google for that particular veggie. 
5. Have some right out of oven, taste the best!
6. Pack them into containers and save for tomorrow.
7. When hungry pull out some veggies, pour them into a pan to heat up. I like to top mine with a fried egg or avocado and salsa.
8. Enjoy! ⁣

Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the time and I live it.  I was asked to be apart of this incredible fundraiser.  Because .. well I’m fab.... that and I have a relationship with @dishitgirldina  @jessica_dambra & @cmspiceculture , the hosts. No I don’t know them from my kids and have only met Dina in person. But when I’m booked on their show, I show up in top shape, create a fantastic segment and follow up with social media leverage. We all work as a “team”, tagging each other to get  out the content. ................The way I made it happen from the start was this.... I saw Dina was hosting a new local show and I reached out to her and the producer. The producer was excited for me to bring cocktails to the show. Nothing special, just people being people. What are you doing to create your next opportunity from your contact list?? Yes, right now!?!?? Nothing? Let’s talk, I bet you I will help you find more than one. .. ⁣

Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in the Foster Care system in NJ . Children who are usually placed in foster care have been evaluated by a child protective services worker and the court, who have determined it is not safe for them to remain at home. However, there is an alternative solution instead of the foster care system, interim foster care, also known as “IF.” 

Interim foster care provides a safe place for babies to live while decisions regarding their permanency are being finalized. It allows biological parents to continue to fully explore their options while knowing their baby is being well cared for in a loving home. The biological family has a minimum of three days to make a decision about their family. The baby may then be returned to their birth families or placed with an adoptive family when interim care is complete.  Dm me for more details ⁣

I switched high schools between my Junior and Seni I switched high schools between my Junior and Senior years. It was anything but FUN!

I cried for the first few months. 
I didn't even know what a syllabus was and I was drowning. I remember trembling at the desk of Mr. Borlo, the English professor, with his small wire-framed glasses and brown curly hair, I cried. I told him I was unable to finish his assignments; I truly didn't even understand them. He looked at me straight and said, "I'll help you." 

Over the last several years, I've had the incredible opportunity to teach how to intentionally prepare a business and create publicity opportunities that allow visibility.

Through my guidance and strategies, students have gone on to appear on regional and national media platforms like Good Morning America & Entrepreneur. Plus, I make sure they have their business in order when their new audience comes to find out more (trust me, this matters more than the publicity itself!).
