Cinco de Mayo has long been one of my favorite holidays. What's not love about a holiday that involves tortilla chips, guacamole and margaritas? That's right, absolutely nothing.

I thought eat was something you just had to do so you could keep moving and dancing and playing. {I know, it's crazy, I don't know what...
