My book is: The Next Time You See Me by Holly Goddard Jones
It was my favorite read this summer. It uses multiple third-person POVs to unveil a tragic event and the underbelly of all of those involved in the life and death of the person at the event’s center. The storyline uses distance and slowly and masterfully reveals what actually happened, exposing those things we hide – even seemingly good people. With the convergence of separate storylines, we get the entirety of the last night of Ronnie Eastman, and learn just how much can be hidden beneath.
My recipe does not come from the book or the region per se, but it requires the combination of distinct elements to make it sing. And if I’m honest, I just love it. One caveat – I like homemade beans instead of the canned ones, so if you want to make it (and you really should), use some homemade black beans.

Oh, that salsa looks so good… yum.
That looks yummy AND colorful!
It is very good!
I love salsa! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Me too. I have recipes for at least four types of salsa. Yum!
Ooh, great recipe! I love salsa in all it’s forms 🙂
Me too. Just add salsa to any dish, and it’s automatically better. 🙂
Now this is my kind of recipe – not only easy, but no cooking needed. Yay! I adore corn, and I’m sure this mixture is great! Thanks so much for participating in the bloghop! 🙂
You like that, huh? I love non-cooking recipes. Even making the beans from scratch is easy. Soak beans in water for a couple of hours before bedtime, then add beans and water to slow cooker. Sleep. When you wake up, they’re done. 🙂
What a great idea for a bloghop. I have a feeling I’m going to get hungry reading all of these!
I was starving. I think some of my replies were actually lame because I was just focused on finishing and getting something to eat. Good idea for a bloghop, but participating on an empty stomach was not. 🙂
That does sound yummy. I’m trying to remember if my boss made something once for an employee holiday party and I just neglected to try some.
I found it because I was looking for a way to combine the corn and beans I had. Instant motivation. 🙂
Love salsa and black beans so this is a great combo for me. Thanks for the reading recommendation, too.
My pleasure. Salsa and a good read – what a combo. 🙂
