The Homesick Texan has been one of my favorite food blogs for years. I started using it when I was still in Texas, but now that I've left, it's an absolutely wonderful resource for cooking like I'm back in the Homeland. Fain is a native Texan, so she knows how the food is supposed to taste and doesn't shy from wonderful TexMex or Mexican food or cut corners to make it easier or more-appealing to those who aren't used to the food.Some of the recipes are from the blog, some are new, but so far I haven't had a problem with any of them. They are easy to follow and there are pictures (an absolute must).If she writes anymore cookbooks, I will get them all. I LOVE the recipes in this cookbook! The only thing I miss about living in Texas is the food. And I can never find good Tex-Mex outside of Texas. I've been following this blog for a while now and everything I've made from there is great, and dead-on Tex-Mex. My husband got me the cookbook for Christmas, and I've been working my way through the recipes. I still miss the food, but the stuff I am making now is just as good as any of the great restaurants I ate at in Texas.
