The Texas Back Porch is that special place where you go to relax in a rocking chair and let your mind wander...from the Guadalupe Mountains to the East Texas pines, from the South Texas prairies to the Gulf of Mexico, experiencing hill country breezes, longhorns, horses, armadillos, country music, and Tex-Mex foods, yet not forgetting the dreadful Texas heat, rattlesnakes, and everybody's awful Texas drawl. Yes, Texas is a vast state, from out of the rugged and romantic West, where the beautiful and the brutal strangely blend and they're all topics to talk about on the Texas Back Porch.

Holiday Fruitcake - A Recipe for Those Who Hate Fruitcake

                           Let the Turkey Be Thankful, Go Veggie

Nothing says ‘home for the holidays’ like laughter around a warm, crackling fireplace and the delectable aroma from a colorfully laden table of homemade pies, fancy candies, creamy eggnog and a rich, moist fruitcake.

Bake this easy dessert, without all the citrus and gooey ingredients, to serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas parties and watch even those who don't like fruitcake reach for seconds.
