Tex Mex Fanatic
Amber Bracegirdle is our Founding Editor, and also blogs at Bluebonnet Baker. She started B&B as a way to connect to her Texas roots and pay homage to her grandmother, Nanny. She's traveled all over with her Brit husband, James, and after 10 years local to NYC, returned to South Texas. They have two adorable boys, and one Maine Coon mix. Tex-Mex is a way of life, as far as she's concerned. Favorite foods include refried beans, breakfast tacos, and migas.
