In fact, fun and festive describe this
week's menu. The flavors are zesty and
unexpected, bright and,
well, happy. Best of all,
these recipes include ingre-
dients that are common
and crowd-pleasing.
While this menu does
require a little planning and
cooking, the recipes are not
difficult.
For example, the Zesty
Chicken, though chock-full
of lots of ingredients, is
actually a throw-together
recipe that may be made a
day ahead on the stove or in
a slow cooker for even more
time flexibility. The same is true of the
Carrot and Apple Salad.
Dessert is easy and creative: nachos.
Cinnamon-flavored and sugar-sweet,
with a chocolate drizzle and topped
with a strawberry salsa, they are a great
way to end this meal. El

Puebla discouraged the French from
allying with the Confederacy and send-
ing troops to aid the South.
The holiday includes, of course,
south-of-the-border cuisine. We love
the celebratory nature of this fete, and
frankly we love the spicy, pointed fla-

his Saturday is Cinco de Mayo
(the fifth of May), a celebra-
tion of Mexican American
heritage and pride that was first cel-
ebrated by the Mexican American com-
munity in California on May 5, 1863. It
has come to be observed nationally in
the U.S., and also in the Mexican state
of Puebla. Mexican Independence Day,
marking the country's 1821 freedom
from Spanish rule, is cel-
ebrated south of the border
nationwide on Sept 16.
Cinco de Mayo is observed
to commemorate the Mexican
army's unlikely victory over
French forces at the Battle
of Puebla on May 5, 1862,
led by hero General Ignacio
Zaragosa, who was born in
Texas —when it was still a
part of Mexico — before the
Mexican-American War.
The French army was
sent to Puebla in 1862 by
Napoleon III in an attempt
to recoup the money owed France by
a bankrupt Mexico. Many Mexican
Americans — Union sympathiz-
ers —felt the French army's defeat
was a symbol of hope for the forces of
democracy during the American Civil
War, and that the Mexican victory in
