Imperfectly delicious Mango pomegranate margaritas – Intuitive cooking: Cinco de Mayo


Imperfectly delicious Mango Pomegranate margaritas! Another peek at one of my intuitive recipes from the upcoming book!!

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is about Mexican liberty from the French. Though in really it was made popular in U.S. in 1980’s and 90’s by the beer and alcohol companies. Our dear friends from Mexico, here in Prague, said they don’t really celebrate this holiday. Yet, as it is a part of my California culture, and I remember the colors and celebrations and great food and drink, perhaps on this very cold windy Prague day, I just needed a ray of mango sunshine, good food and sweet memories to top off the weekend.

What’s more delicious on Cinco de Mayo than Fresh margaritas and gucamole, chips and a terrific Mexican meal?

Of all the delicious recipes from today’s meal, I will share with you the “Mango pomegranate margaritas as they were deliciously enjoyable for the whole family (of course, Ella had the smoothie version:).

Intuitive abundance recipes

Holding intentions for an abundance in life, through creating intuitive recipes.

As with all my intuitive abundance cooking, intentions are kept throughout entire making of the meal and drinks.

In general, Ella helps with these creations, minus doing alcohol bits. She likes to squeeze the limes, mash avocado and shake cinnamon, for sure. She often has her own ideas and whatever we are making, I add her requests without question. It keeps things interesting.

Intentions

Today’s intention was simply about enjoying more moments like this, with a feeling of relaxation and friends close. Ella and I like to sing, yet everyone has their own way.

Mmm, what’s next?
