Texas Caviar

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I made this for Mother’s Day, with a few changes. I used one can of black beans, one can of black eyed peas, one can of MexiCorn, one can of Rotel tomatoes, one small can of chopped green chilis, about 12 sliced jalapenos from a jar that I chopped up finely, one finely chopped red pepper, one finely chopped green pepper, 1/2 bunch of finely chopped cilantro, one whole bunch of chopped green onions. I let the beans/corn mixture drain for a couple hours, and even then they still give off some juice. Mixed it all up in a really big bowl, and I used about 1/2 a bottle of Zesty Italian dressing. I also juiced one lime into it, and added a little salt. Served it with Tostitos scoops. Everyone totally loved it. Oh and I made it the day before so the flavors had time to blend.

Texas caviar is my all-time favorite food! This is an unusual recipe with the Italian salad dressing–can’t wait to try it! Lisa at the blog Homesick Texan has a good version too! Thanks for sharing!
