THE BEST TEXAS CAVIAR
Texas Caviar combines delicious fresh vegetables with an amazing Italian dressing…plus you get the added crunch of tortilla chips in the mix!
Texas Caviar…if you don’t know what that is, you can thank me for blessing your life with it. The name sounds odd, I know. The first few times I heard how amazing it was, I didn’t really listen because ummm… I don’t want to try caviar. Sounds pricey. And slimy.
Then I had it at a potluck and oh how my attitude changed. It has nothing to do with actual caviar, really it’s just a play on words in an attempt to describe a ridiculously easy appetizer that is absolutely amazing! Honestly, try it. Just be prepared to ditch the chips and grab some other utensil that allows you to eat more, faster. {Wait, is it just me?!}
This Texas Caviar version has an added ingredient that’s not normally found in other versions: avocado. Don’t leave it out. In my opinion it takes the dish from good to stellar. Other versions also use Black Eyed Peas, but I think they’re harder to find and cost more than regular beans. So I use a regular cans of beans instead and you know what? It tastes the same! See The Best Texas Caviar recipe here!
CHEESE AND GARLIC CRACK BREAD

Cheese, garlic and bread – you can’t go wrong. This is a great cost effective FUN centerpiece for your next gathering!
If you haven’t tried this Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread before, let me warn you now: garlic bread will never be the same again. It’s like a pull apart bread, but tastes like garlic bread plus you have the mozzarella cheese which stretches wonderfully as you pull bits off. This is INSANELY delicious. I especially love the way the bread is cut into diamond shapes so you can tear bite size pieces off. Every piece is garlicky and buttery and oh-so-cheesy. This is one the kids go NUTS over, don’t say I didn’t warn you! And grown ups turn into little kids when they get stuck into this. I made this for a dinner and let me tell you, it took 5 hands about 30 seconds to demolish this!

What is the difference between an appetizer and an hors d’oeuvres?
The terms hors d’oeuvres and appetizers are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference: hors d’oeuvres is generally a one-bite item that’s either stationary or passed and served separate from or prior to a meal. Appetizers are a bit more flexible- 2 to 3 bite foods that can also be served with the main dish.
How do you keep appetizers warm?
What is the best way to reheat and keep appetizers warm throughout the party? Cook the appetizer according to instructions. To keep them warm, your best bet is leaving them in a slow-cooker on the “warm” setting, a warming plate will also work to keep it warm throughout the party.
What Are Some Examples Of Appetizers?
An appetizer is a small dish of an overall meal. Common examples include: Meatballs and Lil Smokies, Chicken Wings, Jalapeno Poppers, Dips and more!
How to keep appetizers warm?
I serve many of my appetizers on a ceramic or porcelain plate or tray that I heated in the microwave. Ceramic and porcelain retain heat well, so if you plate your appetizer hot, they’ll stay warm for around 15-20 minutes, which is usually more than enough time since they tend to get eaten quickly! If it’s a casual get together, I don’t mind serving certain appetizers in a muffin tray. The muffin tray of course wraps the food and helps them stay warm as a result.
What are heavy Appetizers?
Heavy appetizers (or hearty appetizers) mean hot or cold appetizers that would be enough for a meal: skewers of shrimp or meat; wings; pizza pinwheels; roll-ups or wraps; meatballs; best homemade chicken strips– you get the picture. You’d be too full to have a regular meal if you tasted all of them!
What is a Super Bowl Party?
The Super Bowl comes once a year and provides the perfect opportunity to get your football-loving family and friends together in a party at home, where you can watch the game on your big screen TV, nibble on snacks and enjoy a range of drinks. Here are a few suggestions of the best food to make to throw your Super Bowl party at home!

This is a great recipe! I made two adjustments. I substituted the hot sauce with ranch dressing and I LOVE garlic, so i added a tsp of garlic powder. Yum! Thank you for the recipe!
