First Winner of a copy of Her Inheritance Forever is...

Happy Sunday! We attended church last night. (Since we live in a tourist area, our church holds an extra service during the summers.) So after a lovely breakfast with my dh and a pleasant time out on our porch, I decided I'd better find out who won the first free copy of my latest book. I let my dh choose the name.

And the winner is (drum roll) Vintage fan! She along with Edna, Aldriges, Abi, Sandee 61, and Laura's reviews made comments and thereby were entered into the drawing. Vintage Fan, you have till Friday to contact me. If I don't hear from you, I'll have to choose another name.

I'd also like to thank the authors and some readers for posting such delectable Mexican-style recipes, such as

Lenora Worth's Mexican Dressing

Laurie Kingery's Taco Casserole

Abi's Taco Bake

Sandee61's Bunuelos

Laura's Taco Dip

Frankly they all sound delicious. And I am going to be trying them when the opportunity presents itself. Remember I will be gathering these and the July recipes into a PDF cookbooklet that you will be able to download sometime in September.

On a personal note: My dh, daughter and I will be driving south to the Chicago area on Wednesday. My mother-in-law who is approaching 90 has failing health. I feel very sad about it but am trying to keep a good thought, hope. I don't know how long we will be there, so if you notice me missing a blog post, you will know why.

But on a happy note, the weather is warmer today and it feels like summer at last!

Please remember that I will be giving away a copy of Her Inheritance Forever again this week. To be entered in the weekly drawing, just comment or share a Mexican style Recipe this week.

Hope you're having a blessed Sunday!

Even though I live in Mexican food area, I'm afraid I have to admit to not having recipes. I rely on the restaurants (grin)

We love Taco Salad; you put all ingredients in a big bowl and stir and serve.

Broken up Tortilla chips,
hamburger, cooked
Chopped tomatoes
Sour Cream
Grated Cheddar cheese
Taco seasoning mix(for hamburger)
Lettuce shredded (if desired) can become soggy)
Mix ingredients and enjoy.
