Frankly, this makes me even more confused as to why so many folks in the U.S. (those who aren't of Mexican descent at least) celebrate Cinco de Mayo. But you know, as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, I very much approve. Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's day, so why not be Mexican on Cinco de Mayo? It is pretty amazing to live in such a rich cultural stew as the United States.
Anyway, I'll get back on track. Since it's the 5th, I'd like to share with you five bloggers I've gotten to know recently through the amazing Blogging Your Way class led by Holly Becker of decor8.

Aside from loving the name of this blog, I love the motivation. The author lives in an area where unhealthy eating is common, and is making a difference through her blog. In a beautifully simple format, she offers mouthwatering recipes using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.
There are so many more talented folks in the class - these are just a sampling. I do hope you'll check out the links and leave a little reader love for these wonderful folks!
Thanks so much for the link love, Diane! I had so much fun in class & am so grateful to have "met" you. (trying not to cry as realization that class is over is sinking in. sniff sniff) :)
