About The Homesick Texan:

Nobody knows and loves Texan food more than Lisa Fain. With The Homesick Texan’s Family Table, Fain serves up more of the appealing, accessible, and downright delicious fare that has made her blog so popular. Featuring a mix of down-home standards and contemporary updates, all of the recipes are made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, yet still packed with real Texas flavor. With recipes including Jalapeño Fried Chicken, Crazy Nachos, Pumpkin Pasilla Soup, Ruby Red Grapefruit and Pecan Sheet Cake, and more, The Homesick Texan’s Family Table has something for everyone-whether you’re in Dallas or Detroit, Houston or Honolulu.
