Oscar Weekend

I always look forward to the Oscars! I love movies and seeing all the big players come together and dressed to the nines! What's not to love about all that? This Sunday happens to be my book club meeting, so we've turned it into an Oscar party as well. We're going to serve a couple Oscar related drinks, The Ultimate Blueberry Martini

and The Red Carpet Fizz
The hosts have decide to do a taco bar, so in keeping with the Mexican theme and Oscar theme, I've decided to make Texas Caviar:

2 cans of Trappy's black eyed peas, rinsed and drained

1 can of Rotel

Diced green, yellow & red bell peppers

1/2 purple onion, diced

3/4 cup zesty Italian salad dressing (don't do low fat, stick with the regular Zesty)

1/2 lime, juiced

small bunch of cilantro, chopped

1 can of mexi-corn, drained

1 jalapeno, chopped (take out the seeds for less heat)

salt & pepper

couple dashes of hot sauce

Stir all together and chill for a couple hours, before serving with corn and tortilla chips.

Also, it's fun to have a couple Oscar Ballots on hand and for correct answers you could hand out your own Chocolate Oscars

Hope everyone has a great weekend and all your favorites win!
