Scripture to Live By:

I will exalt you, my God the King;  I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Every day I will praise youand extol your name for ever and ever.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;  his greatness no one can fathom.  One generation commends your works to another;they tell of your mighty acts. Psalm 145:1-4

Recipe Post:

When I visited my sister a few weeks ago, she served this Mexican Caviar recipe.  My husband liked it so well, that we stopped at the store on our way home, and bought the ingredients, so we could make it when we got home.   

It is good as an appetizer, hors d’oeuvres or just a snack food when watching television. It would make a very good party tray idea as well.

My sister didn’t tell me where she got the recipe, so I don’t know who to give the credit to, other than her.  I do no not know why it is called caviar, since it doesn’t contain fish eggs.   Perhaps it is called caviar because it has black eyed peas in it, which resemble eggs or because it seems like a delicacy.  Most of our family really enjoys anything Mexican, so I thought you might enjoy this recipe as well, if you are a lover of Mexican food.

Here is what you will need:

    I have made this before and it is a big hit at a get together. I know it by the name Texas Caviar. I think the name comes from the black eyed peas because the black part sort of looks like fish eggs.
