I'm originally from Texas but in 2005, my husband and I moved to England. England is very different from Texas and has taken some time to get used to. However, the area we live in has a lot to offer and it's lovely being so close to the coast. If I could bundle the positives of Texas and the positives of England into one place, I'd be really happy :). I love this site because I can find recipes from "home" and with a little experimentation on my part, make them work with local ingredients. I love to cook Tex-Mex food. Sometimes it's hard to source some of the ingredients but I usually find a way :). I've really begun to love baking. It's an added challenge making my US recipes work with UK ingredients. I do a lot of baking for family and friends and I love to see people enjoying what I've baked.
