I snitched my Momma’s new cookbook. Shhh…don’t tell her.
The kids and hubby and I are loving the Homesick Texan Cookbook! So far, I’ve cooked with tomatillos and poblano peppers, fried corn tortillas, refried beans, made chaulpas, and botched tortilla soup. The tortilla soup had a wonderful smokey flavor—but somehow I added WAAAAAY too much chili pepper!
Up next: rendering my own lard (can you say cracklins’), carnitas, and homemade tortillas.
By the way, the book is so much fun to read, even if you never pick up a pepper! I love the back stories Lisa Fain includes with her recipes. She also does a wonderful job explaining just how different food is in Texas, depending on where you are! The recipes we’ve tried have been delicious, so much so that the 6-year-old recommended that his MoMo just buy another copy!
***I should probably mention that I have no affiliation with Lisa Fain or the Homesick Texan. I literally just swiped my mom’s book and I liked it so much I wanted to tell you about it.***
I don’t why I didn’t check this cookbook out the other day when I was there since those are all the kinds of foods that we love. I’ve been checking out your blog because I’m linking back to you in a post. By the way, saw your scripture page. Proverbs 31 is one of my favorites. I read it everyday. 🙂
