What wonderful weather we’ve been having the last few days here in beautiful Colorado. It was 94 degrees yesterday! Color me HAPPY! It almost makes up for the insane winter we had, with its early start and late finish. (Almost…)
I love the gorgeous blue skies we get here:
It’s been perfect for hanging out in the backyard with good friends and nutritious food, which is exactly what we did after work last night. Dinner was so yummy, I thought I’d share what was on the menu for our Beat the Heat Mexi-Que. Everything turned out great and I enjoyed every bite. ¡Muy delicioso!
Appetizer
Baked Blue Corn Chips + Salba Omega 3 Corn Chips with green and red salsas
***
Protein
Tequila Lime Shrimp
(we did chicken too for the non-seafood fans in the house)
***
Starchy Side Dish
***
Veggie Side Dish
Grilled Sweet Corn and (unpictured) Grilled Sweet Peppers
***

Recipes for most are forthcoming. As I post them I’ll link from this menu here as well so that you can find the recipes in one spot.
Just looking at the photos makes me want to cook this meal all over again and have it for lunch! SO GOOD!
Hope you are enjoying your day FitFeat friends!

Sorry Cindy about the missing plane reservations!
I’ll allow a little mountain envy in exchange for the warm WINTER envy I have of you out there in CA! 
Remind me next winter when I’m whining about the third blizzard of the year!
