Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the Best Ever Guacamole Recipe and Que Pasa Tortilla Chips

May 5, 2016 by Kathryn 208 Comments

Even though it’s not an official holiday in the United States and Canada, I love celebrating Cinco de Mayo in some way every year. Sometimes I plan a whole big Mexican-themed party just for fun. Other years I’ll just use the day as an opportunity to whip up a pan of tasty enchiladas for supper. But I always try to add a little touch of Mexican fun to the fifth of May in some way!

This year, the boys are both in different sports each week and free time is at a minimum. But that doesn’t mean we have to skip the celebration! When Que Pasa sent me an assortment of its popular organic tortilla chips and salsa, I knew I had everything I needed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a fun Mexican after-school snack. And to make the treat even better, I decided to whip up my incredibly popular Best Ever Chunky Guacamole recipe! [Read more…]

My boys and I love our snacks. While regular meals are great, snacks are definitely a family favourite whether we’re enjoying sweet treats or savoury crunchy foods. Obviously, that means that I have to be careful about the snacks we eat because we’d end up with a lot of unhealthy food in our bodies otherwise! Fresh fruit and crunchy vegetables with homemade dip are always popular choices but every once in a while, I want to indulge without being completely unhealthy. So when I heard about RW Garcia chips, I was intrigued.

These tortilla chips are organic, all natural and full of good-for-you ingredients such as flax, sesame and chia seeds. They’re made with stone-ground organic corn and are gluten free. They sounded like a swoon-worthy snack for a chip lover like me and recently I received a variety of RW Garcia chips to test out for myself.

But I still like to enjoy a tasty snack every now and again and tortilla chips are one of my all-time favourite indulgences. They may not be the healthiest snack, but they’re just so delicious!
