My family often teases that I am a fair skinned blonde Mexican. I love to eat Mexican and I love to fix Mexican foods. Up until recently though, I really had no idea any background behind the foods I was creating, or whether or no they were authentic. Not Just Tacos by Shirley Solis of Lifetime Books and Gifts has changed all that!!
Our Favorite Recipes from Not Just Tacos
My family’s favorite recipes that we have tried are the Pico De Gallo, and the Arroz Imperial. My husband LOVES the Pico De Gallo, he asks me for it almost daily. I am now making triple batches of it, and it might just last two days. I also took it to this week’s church pot luck and my bowl was empty, even with the HOT sign.
When my son Isaiah had his tonsils out ten days ago, he asked for chicken. The Arroz Imperial being a mild dish from Cuba was a big hit.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
