Have you ever heard of cowboy caviar?  Even being from the South, I think I was late to the game with this yummy dip!  It’s an extremely easy appetizer loaded with fresh veggies and beans to make for any occasion!


COWBOY CAVIAR RECIPE

I remember the exact day I was introduced to this amazing cowboy caviar.  I was at dinner at a friend of my mother-in-law’s in Florida a couple of years ago.  This is not my everyday salsa, my friends. It is loaded with TWO KINDS OF beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado and more!

I went home with her recipe and I have been wanting to make it ever since.

 

My brother and his family are visiting this week from NC for their spring vacation week and I finally decided it was the perfect time to whip up a batch to have as an appetizer.

Plus since it makes a fairly large batch so we also used it as a fabulous topper on Southwestern Rice Bowls for dinner as well.

Serve with your favorite chips.  And be ready to hand out the recipe when you make it for a crowd.

Paleo & Keto Matcha Breakfast Bowl

Image
Think of this overnight paleo and keto matcha breakfast bowl as an ideal way to kickstart your day: a true  nutritional powerhouse , packed with  antioxidants and fiber . Paleo & Keto Matcha Breakfast Bowl  Overnight This matcha bowl with chia seeds has been  my go-to breakfast  as of late. It’s  quick , packed with  fiber , incredibly  nutrient dense , and  delicious . As in, it checks all the right boxes. I  whip up a large batch  and keep it handy in the fridge for the week. i.e. it’s meal prepping supreme. Then I either eat the chia pudding whole with a handful of berries, or when I’m feeling fancy I turn it into a ‘breakfast bowl’. I simply blend the matcha chia pudding with half an avocado (for added good fats, nutrients and extra creaminess), some mint leaves (or extract), a handful of ice, and make a smooth pudding-like bowl out of it. Sort of like our Shamrock shake, but thicker and packed with fiber. The r...

7-Layer Bean Dip

Image
The ultimate party food – 7 Layer Bean Dip! My family has long loved 7 layer bean dip. We all sit down and eat a very generous serving whenever it’s around, as in there’s rarely ever a speck left. I’ve shared a few versions of this classic dip but this is my favorite version. It is just SO good!! I took the classic version, the one you’ll find all over the interwebs and added my own spin to it. I started with the classic canned refried beans. I used RosaritaRefried Beans, they’re my go-to canned refried beans. You can find them at Walmart. I added my own seasoning blend to the beans (seasoning packets have their place just not here, typically you’ll find a whole packet of seasoning in these too – I think that’s just too much I want to be able to taste everything else), I also used homemade guacamole, nixed the salsa and rather added a can of  Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies (and I mixed them right into the beans it gives them a great flavor). And then I...
