  1. DEAR CRISTY,

    I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD AND MAKE IT OFTEN. I DON’T HEAR MUCH GRUMBLING
    ABOUT ST. PATRICK DAY DOINGS FROM ANYONE. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS FROM ALL DIFFERENT RACES. WE GET TOGETHER FOR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BECAUSE WE LOVE EACH OTHER.
    IT IS GREAT TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER CULTURES.
    I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT MY FAMILIES ROOTS ARE IN THE SOUTH. I WAS RAISED ON SOUTHERN COOKING AND THAT IS MY MAIN COOKING INTEREST. I ALSO LOVE MANY OTHER FOODS AS WELL.

  2. Please pay no attention to the “I Am Offended By ____________People”. They are always offended and most of the time have misread or never read what they are offended by! I can ALWAYS use Mexican recipes (and I will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo). I also celebrated ST. Patrick”s Day(I am not Irish) and any other holiday I can think of! I do Fat Tuesday and I am not Catholic (you get the idea, Ha! Ha!). A little more celebrate and love and a lot less offense and the world would be a much nicer place.

    1. sherry, i am right in there with you! I’m a festive kind of girl, life is too short to not enjoy it. gotta blossom where you’re planted.

  3. Thank you, Christy! You have inspired me yet again. Our family is 100% German and yet we celebrate Cinco every year. It is a family celebration with yummy dishes to share. And I don’t mind a bit if some non German families choose to celebrate family times with kraut, brats and German potato salad! Blessings!

  4. Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your precious story and recipes in The Taste Of The South Magazine. Can not wait to make your Easy Skillet Chili and do not forget the French fries. Yum. Thanks for a wonderful blog with so many wonderful recipes and stores. Love the Bible Verses also. Thanks for sharing.
