Cowboy Caviar bean dip

IMG_20160825_162422This recipe comes to me from my friend Tammy.  You can see her original post here. 

I have had this bean dip/cowboy caviar before at our old church.  I thought it was one of the best tasting things I have ever had!  I tried to copy it back then but didn’t quite have all the ingredients just right.  Then my friend Tammy gave me a container of this the other day and I tasted it and was taken back to years ago when I first had it and it was good!

It is so yummy.  This would make a great dish to take to a potluck meal.  I mean I don’t even need a potluck meal to make this, I would have it in my refrigerator to eat some everyday.  It makes a pretty dish and with some colored tortilla chips it is a nice presentation.

 
  • 1   15 oz can black beans drained
  • 1  15 oz can black-eyed peas drained
  • 1  15 oz can pinto beans drained
  • 1  15 oz can dark red kidney beans drained
  • 1  15 oz can garbanzo beans drained
  • 1  15 oz can sweet yellow & white corn drained
  • 1 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 of a  purple onion
  • 1 minced fresh jalapeno ( I add 2 for hotter)
  • 2 heaping Tbsp. of minced garlic
  • 1 small bunch of fresh chopped cilantro –I skipped this because I am allergic to it
  • Tortilla chips for scooping
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup of rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
Open, drain and rinse all your beans.  Then put all the ingredients together in a large bowl.  Mix up the dressing separately and pour over it.  This is delicious.  Hope you enjoy!  Don’t forget to smile today!    Have a blessed day!

do not eat out this week-encouragement vlog #6

Hey everyone, hope your having a good start to your week.  Your children may have started school or your scrambling around trying to get organized and start your own schooling or maybe you haven’t even thought about it and won’t for a few more weeks….whatever way your Monday has started I pray it has been in a calm, positive, peaceful way.

Hope you enjoy my challenge to you this week…………….Do not eat out!  Wait, did I read that correctly?!!?  Don’t worry, it is only temporary. Remember this is all about changing our habits to create less craziness in our lives.   It is about changing our mode of thinking and being somewhat prepared instead of caving when the pressure comes and you need to eat.

Have a wonderful Monday and remember to be the Momma who SMILES!!!!
