This is the signature drink at my in-law's home. My father-in-law developed a taste for margaritas made from scratch during the summer they spent in Zihuatanejo during the 1960s. After decades of tinkering he has arrived at this foolproof recipe for the ultimate Mexican cocktail.

- 5 fluids ounces tequila
- 3 fluids ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 fluid ounce sweetened lime juice
- 3 fluids ounces triple sec , orange-flavored liqueur
- ice cubes
- 1 lime , cut into wedges
- rimming salt
Instructions

1
Measure the tequila, lime juice, sweetened lime juice and triple sec into a cocktail shaker and add a generous scoop of ice. Cover and shake until the shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds.

Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass and dip in salt. Fill each glass with ice. Strain equal amounts of the cocktail into the glasses to serve. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Texas Christmas Pickles
These spicy-sweet pickles are a Texas tradition. My mother and I have made these delectable pickles for Christmas every year since I was young. We separate each batch into smaller jars and give them as gifts to friends and family. I would hate to think what would happen if we skipped a year!
Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting (The World's Best!)
Pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting are always a hit, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving. And when they're soft, moist, and topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting? Well, they're impossible to resist! After getting this easy recipe from a friend, I have made them over 100 times for family and friends.
Lela's Pork Chili
An authentic Colorado family chili recipe I grew up eating. Everyone who eats my chili wants my mom's recipe. A flavorful tender pork chili simmered to bring out the flavor. Enjoy the chili with flour tortillas and fried potatoes. Or pour over chicken enchiladas, beef enchiladas, burritos, or tamales. Chili is always better the next day; I like to make this chili the night before so the flavors blend together.
