20 Southwestern Recipes (With Corn and Black Beans)

If a recipe starts with "Southwestern," I know I'm going to like it.

The most common ingredients of Southwestern recipes include corn and black beans. And I like both of these, especially when you mix them together.

So I decided to compile a list of DELICIOUS Southwestern recipes from Pinterest that might serve as a great reference blog for other Southwestern recipe lovers out there. Some of these recipes I tried and loved, and others are pinned to my "Must Try Recipes" board because they look down-right amazing.

Southwestern and Tex-Mex food go hand-in-hand, so you will see both types of recipes on this blog.

DIY Car Kit Ideas: List of Items

A DIY car kit is not the same thing as an emergency kit - they serve different purposes. A true Emergency Kit should go in the back of the trunk, including items such as band-aids, Neosporin, and other trauma or survival aids. On the contrary, DIY Car Kits have non-emergency items ---but used for your own personal "emergencies," such as spilling ketchup on your shirt or a sudden headache when on the go. **A DIY Car Kit should be in a small to medium sized container, with a zipping or buckling component to ensure the items stay inside. It can be a flimsy material bag, or a sturdy plastic container. But make sure it is small enough that it will not take up a lot of space in your back seat. The ideal size would be able to fit underneath the seat or on the floorboard. See the items below to configure your own Car Kit according to what YOU think you'll need "in case of emergency!" Altoids (or other mint that will not be affected by temperature) Gum...

Getting To Know Your Roommate

Whether you're a freshman in college, or 28 years old looking for someone to help cut living costs, you'll want to get to know your roommate for multiple reasons: To make living with each other easier, since you will have had communicated with each other both of your expectations and pet peeves early on.
