Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, giving us all a reason to throw a Mexican-themed get-together featuring some of our favorite dishes from the culture. Of course, a party would not be complete without guacamole for people to snack on.

Many parts of the country have been experiencing higher-than-average temperatures over the past few weeks, prompting our palates to change. Not only does that mean people are engaging in more outdoor activities, but they are also enjoying the comfort foods of summer. While we spent most of the winter enjoying hearty bowls of pasta and stew, summer brings about grilling, gardens and, of course, seafood.
