Black Bean Salsa

I just realized the other day that I had never posted this recipe on here, and it's such a SHAME!!! This is one of my favorite snacks ever....I LOVE this stuff! It's super easy to make, tasty, and pretty healthy too!
Try it, you'll LOVE LOVE LOVE it.


Black Bean Salsa 


2-3 Tomatoes, diced
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can black eyed peas, rinsed (you can do 2 cans black beans if you don't have these)
1/2 bag frozen corn, cooked
Chopped cilantro, maybe about 1/4 of a bunch. I put in a bit more than that because I LOVE cilantro
a pinch of salt and pepper
2-3 Tablespoons italian dressing


Optional:
Diced green onions
Diced avocado
a squirt of lime juice
(I'd reccomend all three)


SO GOOD! I'll make a batch of this stuff and my husband and I will eat it all at once! We love eating it with chips, but it's also good on chicken enchiladas! (The recipe for those is HERE)

Eclair Dessert

This is one of my all time favorite deserts, and it's perfect for summer! You don't even have to turn on the oven to make it!

Eclair Dessert

1 package of graham crackers

2- 3 1/2  oz French vanilla instant pudding 

                         (I like using at least 3 oz for sure....2 oz just isn't enough!)

Milk (however much is needed to make the pudding)
9 oz cool whip

Make instant pudding according to instructions on box. As soon as you're done making it, mix in cool whip. Layer a 9X13 with whole graham crackers.  Spoon on 1/2 the pudding mix. Make another layer of crackers, and the spoon on remaining pudding mix. Top with a layer of crackers, and seal the crackers with the frosting (see below).   Let chill for at least 20 hours before serving. (Trust me...this step is important :) It stinks being patient....but it's worth it!)


Frosting
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp cocoa

Melt margarine. Add cocoa. Add in sugar and milk. Beat until smooth.
