OLE'

ahh and here we are, just a ONE HOUR away from the best day of the year

CINCO DE MAYO - or maybe you call it -  CINCO DE STEPHANIE!

in the wake of this most magnificent day, i would like to give you all some last minute tips on preparing for an excellent fiesta! so please put on your sombrero and may your margaritas flow all day!

don’t knock it til you try it…

* self magazine has put together a great “swap” of the classics, and yes while keeping the dreaded calorie counters in mind! however, if you’re gonna be putting back shots of tequilla – it isn’t so bad to be mindful of your numbers!

the mesiah...

my girl Bethenny Frankel has a COUNTDOWN to getting ready! if you’re going to go all out then of course you can incorporate her “SKINNYGIRL” recipes into your picking and choosing from self magazine! 

if you must pick any of the recipes: may i suggest most importantly – the staple… GUACAMOLE. it's a delish but very fatty treat. again the recipe for MOCK-a-MOLE is a sure way to cut your calories. SECRET INGREDIENT ALERT!

happy cinco de mayo amigos!
