I've spent many years living away from my beloved south Texas longing for our family gatherings with lots of laughter over a great meal. This book is filled with recipes that created those memorable meals. For generations, my Mexican family has cooked together to hand down recipes to the next generation. Many of the recipes are untouched by time while some recipes have evolved due to modern appliances and lifestyles. From breakfast tacos, puffy tacos, enchiladas, tres leches cake, quirky dips and salads I welcome you into my south Texas kitchen where we add a little spice and a lot of love.
