We'll teach you to cook all right, without some niche diet plan or any throwaway recipes.
This is all real Texas home cooking.

I focus on exploring the cultures and regions of Texas. Primarily through food, both with some history and culture thrown in here and there.
Instead of designing recipes that suit specific diets (ie., keto or gluten-free), I focus on flavor. I mostly stick to traditional, but I throw in a few new creations here and there.
What this isn't is a healthy eating group. I take no responsibility for your butter intake.
I hope you enjoy what I'm doing and choose to participate. I'd love to hear about your traditional Texas recipes or new creations.
If you want to participate, you can use the promo code TACOS for a free month to give the community a try. If not, you're welcome to follow along with the free content and try the recipes.
Either way, I'm glad you're here.

After Ikard's death, Goodnight bought a granite marker and wrote an epitaph for his old friend: "Bose Ikard served with me four years on the Goodnight-Loving Trail, never shirked a duty or disobeyed an order, rode with me in many stampedes, participated...
You wouldn't know it by visiting most Mexican restaurants here in Texas, but not all Mexican rice is red.
I prefer arroz verde (green rice) to the ubiquitous red rice. It's got a brighter flavor that contrasts well with meat and chile heavy dishes. Squeeze a little lime over the top and it's even better.
