Must-Read Links, Noted By the WOM Team

Weekly links via @waitingonmartha

One of my favorite parts about my job is the constant stream of inspiring content I come across on a daily basis.  Ever since I can remember, I had been a big geek about finding great articles, discovering restaurants, and reading tutorials and tips…all to pass them along to my friends.  So, finding myself at a job where I can do that regularly almost seems too good to be true!

MKR, Liz, Sydney and I are constantly sharing intriguing ideas, must-try recipes and wacky beauty write-ups when we see them, so we finally decided it was time to start sharing the love for you to enjoy too.  Every week, we’ll be dishing out the top links that have peaked our interest, gotten us talking and made our mouths water and of course, made us laugh.  Enjoy!  Cheers, Kat

DIY taco bar for Cinco de Mayo \ Waiting on Martha

Homemade tortilla chips recipe | Waiting on MarthaThe best ever guacamole recipe | Waiting on Martha

I know what my dream Cinco de Mayo entails...a DIY taco bar, corn queso fundido, homemade tortilla chips and of course, the best ever guacamole. Well okay, maybe that and about five or six classic margs on the rocks (let’s be honest here).  Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate because a) everyone is feeling extra festive with the great weather b) the tasty spread is easy to plan and delegate among a group c) any and all margarita recipes are more than welcome. 

DIY taco bar is quite possibly the easiest way to feed a crowd, while keeping things casual.  My favorite part is that you can prep all of the ingredients the night before too, if you’re busy finding a sombrero the day of the fiesta. And who doesn’t love a good taco?! 

I have a deep love for anything that has corn in it.  When MKR shared the original recipe for her corn queso fundido dip, I couldn’t make it fast enough.  This recipe is addicting (don’t say we didn’t warn you).  Think roasted corn in a skillet with fiery poblano peppers, red onion, garlic, Monterrey Jack cheese.   

And what’s a Mexican fiesta without some good guacamole?  But don’t even think about dishonoring the recipe with store-bought tortilla chips.  MKR shared how easy it is to make homemade tortilla chips, and I’m forever hooked. 

So now we’ve corralled all of our best, festive recipes for you in one place, the question is…how will you be celebrating Cinco de Mayo?! Cheers, Kat
