Give me some of that Tennessee Caviar, Y'all!
My beloved aunt in Birmingham, Alabama gave me her famous Tennessee Caviar recipe and I'm sharing it with you! Check it out with fresh summer ingredients and delicious black eyed peas. A southern tradition at Super Bowl parties & other games as well as a New Year's day meal!
Each version is a tad different but we all know my auntie's version is the best, right?
