Texas Caviar

      This is one of my favorite recipes to make for a party or any fun event.  My little sister in Delta Zeta had a party on Saturday night and she asked us all to bring something.  I brought texas caviar, fruit and my mom's famous fruit dip, and cake batter cheese cake squares.  I have adapted my version of this recipe to include only the parts I like, and I must say I am a big fan! Every time I take it to an event everyone always wants the recipe so it here is:

Texas Caviar a la Brandi

3 Cans of black-eyed peas
1 can of white corn
1 can of yellow corn
1 can of diced green chilies
chopped green onions to taste
1 can of diced tomatoes 
(you can use fresh tomatoes, but I like the canned kind with the jalapenos mixed in)
salt and pepper to taste
1 small bottle of kraft zesty italian dressing


Drain all the canned ingredients and pour into a large bowl.
Add the onions and salt and pepper
Pour in the dressing
Serve with chips (fritos scoops or tostitos) and watch it disappear

Cindy's Crazy Good Fruit Dip

        My mom has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember, and it has become a staple on my go to list for parties and events. It is super easy to make because it only has 3 ingredients, and its so good you will want to eat it with a spoon right out of the bowl instead of dipping your fruit in it.  

Cindy's Crazy Good Fruit Dip

8 oz. of cream cheese
1 small container of marshmallow cream/fluff
1 tsp of vanilla (my addition)


Let your cream cheese soften for 2 hours at least before you make this.
Beat the cream cheese for 2 mins or until all the little clumps are gone.
Fold in the fluff and vanilla.
Serve with strawberries and apples (or whatever fruit you like best).

Try not to eat the whole bowl before the party.
