H-E-B Texas Table Treats!

My friends at H-E-B encourage you to stay home and cook, versus eating out. In their new cookbook, My H-E-B Texas Table, there’s an entire section that compares the price of fast food to store-bought items. You’ll learn how to save money — and inches off your waist each year! The recipes below, as well as these Spiced Pork Medallions in a cranberry-orange port wine sauce [above], are just a few examples you’ll love…

This collection features a total of 100 family recipes — many contributed by customers — and lightened by H-E-B registered dieticians. They’ve added a few tweaks and simple substitutions to reduce the calorie count while maintaining flavor of dishes like gorditas, chili and chicken spaghetti.

The goal is to inspire people to cook healthy at home with a guidebook tailored to their tastes! These are not random recipes, but family favorites:
