Manfriend Meals: Texas Caviar
•
Texas Caviar. Redneck Caviar. Southern Caviar. Redneck Salsa. I’ve seen recipes of this variety called a lot of different names. No matter what you call it, or what combination of flavors you include, it’s probably going to be ridiculously addicting. While not a “meal”, my manfriend would gladly make a…

If you’ve ever had lunch or dinner with me…
•
… then you’ve probably observed that everyone who does not eat pickles will give me theirs. (Love my friends!) I am also a potato chip connoisseur. Not just any potato chips will do. I’m a big fan of the really crunchy ones – generally known as kettle-cooked chips. I picked…
