Cowboy Caviar

Happy New Year!  We rang in 2019 with some of my "lucky" dishes including greens, cornbread, pork and Lucky Black Eyed Pea casserole.  Lucky Black Eyed Pea casserole is one of our family faves.  I cook it several times throughout the year.  In fact, it's a dish my 91-year old mother in law requests and that's an honor.  

I've got a couple of extra cans of black eyed peas leftover and I figured I would make Cowboy Caviar.  The recipe whips up in minutes, it's full of veggies and surprisingly it's a dish the kids love.  Hey, I still try to sneak in veggies whenever I can.  

Cowboy Caviar is one of those dishes you can make your own.  You can serve it with tortilla chips, or as a side dish.  This is my version of the recipe.  I don't drain the veggies.  You may want to but reserve the liquid so you can add to your liking.  

Want a little more spice, add a few diced sprigs of cilantro.  

Not a fan of ranch salad dressing, try Italian salad dressing mix.  This is a recipe you can make all your own.
Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can corn
1 15-oz. can black beans
1 15-oz. can black eyed peas (not pictured in pic above)
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 package Ranch salad dressing mix

Optional:
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup onions, finely chopped

Instructions:
1.  Combine black-eyed peas, corn, black beans and tomatoes in a large bowl and stir.
2.  Stir in dressing mix.
3.  Chill for at least 30 minutes

Serve with tortilla chips.

Have you ever tried Cowboy Caviar?

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
