To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I made Black Bean and Corn Chili with Chicken, a Margarita cocktail, and Salsa with Tortilla Chips. This naturally gluten-free recipe is very easy to make.
In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is widely interpreted as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage

Ferrara's specialty lobster tail pastries are famous for their crisp, flaky pastry shell that's stuffed with rich Bavarian cream. This lobster tail pastry, an Italian American pastry, is heavenly! Think of it as a cousin to the sfogliatelle – same crust different filling.

RUTGERS TOMATO
Introduced in 1934 by Lyman Schermerhorn, a plant scientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, the Rutgers tomato was a cross between the sweet Marglobe tomato and the tart JDT. It was the perfect tomato for its time, when the fruit was still hand-harvested, fresh produce wasn’t transported vast distances and consumers didn’t expect picture-perfect tomatoes year-round. Farmers liked the plant because it produced consistent early-season fruit and resisted disease. Food companies liked the bright flavor and sparkling red color. It was the basis for Campbell’s tomato soup and Heinz’s ketchup. By 1947, two out of every three tomatoes grown across the United States was a Rutgers. The press dubbed it the “super tomato.

Feijoada and a salad with a side of mashed potatoes and fried sweet plantains for lunch. Feijoada, Brazil's national dish, is a delightful stew packed with black beans, smoked pork loin, bacon, and chorizo sausage. I paired it with some rice for a truly satisfying meal.

Originally, tulips are from Central Asia, growing wildly in the Tianshan mountain ranges in the northwest region of China. It was first cultivated by the Turks as early as 1000AD and continued to remain popular. Tulips were imported into Holland in the sixteenth century.
Today Holland remains to be the leading producer and exporter of a majority of all the tulips we see in the market.
