The Homesick Texan's Family Table

Is there anything more wonderful than receiving a cookbook in the mail? That's what happened to me this week. I received a beautiful copy of The Homesick Texan Family Table. Everything in the cookbook has a decidedly Texas slant. A little bit of cayenne. A smidgeon of jalapeño. A dash of chipotle. Fabulous.

Here's the quote I loved from the book:
“It's been said that if you ask a Texan about their most memorable meal, they won't tell you about a coveted reservation at a five-star temple of dining, or an exotic feast served after an airplane flight half way across the world. Nope, most Texans will say that their most memorable meal was home-cooked, shared at the family table. At least it's that way for me.”

Amen, sister.
