When Friday night rolls around I am ready to have some fun and relax. For years I spent Friday nights eating my favorite food or watching television. However, recently I discovered several tips to make my Friday nights more fun.
If you have a tradition of eating your favorite food on Friday night, you can make this tradition more fun and exciting by creating a “theme”. For example, if you like eating tacos create a Mexican buffet theme. You can invite some family and friends and turn this into a Friday night party.
To get started, you will need ingredients to make tacos, guacamole, salsa, Mexican chips, and Mexican rice. I know a lot of people like pork tacos, but I prefer to use healthier alternatives like chicken or fish. You can season the fish or chicken by adding some simple salt and pepper and a little paprika. When serving tacos, I think it is okay to use taco shells or toasted pita bread. I know some may disagree with this, but I think toasted pita bread is great for tacos. The ingredients for the Mexican rice is brown rice, red peppers, and, saffron. You can make your own salsa with tomatoes and onions, or you can buy a jar from the store. You can also buy your chips from the store, or you can bake some pita bread and cut it up into squares. For a beverage, I recommend serving ice limeade which is easy to make. Just take a picture of water and add three tablespoons of lime juice. Then add in ten fresh lime slices, two tablespoons of organic honey, and mix everything together.
To make this look like a real Friday night party, spread a bright orange tablecloth on a long table, and use bright blue and bright green paper cups and plates. For an extra festive touch serve the limeade in a large bright red bowl. The red and green color from the limeade will make a beautiful contrast.
Another thing you can do to make your Friday nights more fun is to visit a local food truck park. These parks have been popping up all over the country, so there is a pretty good chance one is in your neighborhood. I really like having food truck parks in my community, because it gives me a chance to try a lot of different foods, without having to go into a restaurant. Most of these food parks open at 4:00 p.m., which is just about the time most people get off work and when parents pick their kids up from school.
You can really have fun at a food park on Friday night, and you can also have some Friday night fun throwing your own Mexican food party.
