Happy Cinco de Mayo!
So this Cinco de Mayo thing, it’s actually a lot more than discount margaritas and an excuse for Mexican restaurants to have a party. I learned recently that it is in fact NOT the Mexican independence day, but rather that it began as a Mexican holiday called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla) observed to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Well, I’m no history buff but I do love an underdog victory, so why shouldn’t there be a giant party for Cinco de Mayo?!
And if you’re going to have a party, you need to have a pizza!
And if you’re going to have pizza, you need the have the best pizza on the planet, which is – according to MommyUpgrade — hands down Papa Murphy’s. (I said so here.)
But you can’t have any old pizza for a Cinco de Mayo party, you need to have a special limited edition TACO GRANDE PIZZA from Papa Murphys in honor of all things south of the border: Seasoned taco beef, refried beans, salsa, whole milk mozzarella, black olives, juicy Roma tomatoes, fresh green onions and cheddar cheese. Oh, the melted cheddar cheese…
Oh Yeah. There’s a party in my tummy.
I’m ready to get my Cinco de Mayo on.
Which is why I was totally thrilled to find this huge envelope on my doorstep today from my friends at Papa Murphys. Look what it had in it:
A Papa Murphy exclusive bamboo pizza board (the good kind)
A Papa Murphy giant professional pizza cutter
And TWO gift cards for free pizza
And guess what – mi casa es su casa. The Papa people have one to giveaway to MommyUpgrade readers too! I’ll pick a winner randomly from everyone who enters the contest below.
(And when you’re done, be sure to have some piñata cookies. Or just pick up the chocolate chip cookie dough from Papa Murphy’s while you’re there. It’s fab either baked or straight out of the container as you’re driving home, and waaay easier than making the little pinata cookies I might add…)
Rules for the Papa Murphy’s Cinco de Mayo giveaway:
You can enter the Papa Murphy’s giveaway once per day each of the following ways.
Entries count as:
- a comment below telling me what you put on your favorite pizza.
- sharing the Papa Murphy’s facebook post from MommyUpgrade about this contest to your own wall – don’t forget to tell everyone your favorite pizza toppings
- if you’re a tweeter, tweet away! Tell everyone what you like on your pie and link back to the blog post, include @MommyUpgrade in it so I will see it.
- and not that it counts as an entry, but it would be nice if you “liked” Papa Murphys Pizza on facebook since they’re sponsoring this giveaway, and since you’re so nice.
