Fried chicken is one of those things that I get a hankering for from time to time and I happen to love it on a crisp salad! There is something about a crisp salad topped with warm crunchy fried chicken that is just the best of combos. Most of the time I tend to bake my “fried chicken” for a healthier version, but every now and then I just have to fry it just like all of the southern women in my family before me. This recipe for Southern fried chicken, spinach, and berry salad with a yogurt chive dressing is going to become your favorite summer salad I can guarantee it!

I for one cannot get enough of summer fruit right now, especially peaches, and love using them in savory recipes as well. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to bring you a summer recipe that is great for entertaining, but simple enough for any night of the week. When it’s too hot to turn on the oven, I rely on my grill to do the heavy lifting. That’s why I created this recipe for grilled Sweet Heat Pork and Peach Kabobs using Tony Chachere’s Pork Marinade. The flavors pair perfectly together and you are going to love grilling up these kabobs all summer long.
I have a very strong love for pasta salads. I love that I can load them up with tons of veggies, or in this case even some fruit and get my pasta craving satisfied at the same time. The key to a good pasta salad to me is to have several textures, and flavors that come together with a tangy vinaigrette. I tend to make more pasta salads when the weather warms up for whatever reason and I love that I can keep them in the fridge and they are great for easy lunches, potlucks, or as a side dish to serve up with a grilled protein. This recipe for strawberry, feta, and herb pasta salad is going to become one of your favorite dishes to bring to any picnic, potluck, or simply just to serve at home!

I have a few favorite ways to top it, but a pizza that will quickly become a favorite in your house is my spinach artichoke pizza.

Jambalaya is a classic Cajun dish that is full of flavor and one of my favorite rice dishes to enjoy. Typically it is served at dinnertime and sometimes can be tricky to get the rice just right. Lucky for you, I have a shortcut way to enjoy jambalaya any time of day thanks to the help of my friends at Tony Chachere’s.
