Sharing a favorite Lucy Buffett recipe this week ~ Lulu’s LA Caviar ~ while we are actually enjoying it at our pre-game tailgate!
It’s Homecoming Weekend and I’m at the game with some of my college girlfriend besties 🙂 . There will be more on our tailgate later next week, so stay tuned!
There are so many good recipes and stories in this cookbook ~ it’s one of my favorites. Lulu has this recipe posted on her lulubuffett.com website, so I feel Ok to share it here with y’all. I always try to respect what others have worked hard to accomplish. If they are sharing it to the public, then it’s fair to share. Otherwise, we should buy the cookbook to get the recipe ~ only fair, right? I’ve made this black-eyed pea salsa many times, for many different settings. There are lots of similar recipes, and I have tried several, but I think this one is the best! It’s light and fresh and always good. Served it here for an alfresco concert picnic at Chastain Park!

I’ll share photos from our tailgate spread next week, and this will be on it. Until then I’m eating, drinking, cheering and having lots of bluwaterfun with my college girlfriends! See you next week ~~~
