Cowboy Caviar starts with a spicy base of black-eyed peas, tomatoes, corn, and avocado. Scoop it up with tortilla chips for an appetizer, or add cabbage and it becomes a coleslaw.
Sure, we could have gone with six, but at what cost? Lose the sour cream, or the zesty salsa, or the melted shredded cheese or....No. Seven layers. Get a little in each bite.
Lime gelatin is chilled in a 13x9-inch pan and decorated with whipped topping to resemble a football field. It's the perfect dessert for sports lovers!

Pork shoulder has the double advantage of pairing well with both white and red wines, and being one of the cheaper cuts at the meat counter.
