Texas Smoked Brisket for Beginners by myra byanka

I've been smoking brisket for years, feeling that finishing it off in the oven was heresy. No telling how much carbon monoxide I've huffed, and so I have given in and developed a process that works well for me, and should for the novice brisket cook.

Texas Chicken Fried Steak by Sheila Durham

This is Texas on a plate! Use a 1/2 inch sirloin and you won't be disappointed. Keep your oil a consistent 350 to375 to prevent absorbing to much oil or burning. If you want it to be authentic, need to make a nice thick white gravy. Please don't put brown gravy on this steak....it's just not Texas when you do!! Enjoy this with white…

Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox
