In my family, we use any late spring/summer holiday (i.e. Labor Day, Memorial Day or 4th of July) as an excuse to have a barbecue. We’ll typically grill hot dogs and hamburgers and corn on the cob and my mom will make a potato salad. There will be chips with lots of dip, of course, and fruit, which will always include watermelon since it’s my favorite fruit. Because of this, I’m always looking for new and exciting BBQ side dishes. Just in case you are too, I thought I’d share this Buffalo Potato Salad this week so that you have it on hand if you too plan on grilling next Monday. It’s like chicken wings in salad form minus the chicken and with lots of potatoes and bacon instead. I didn’t really describe it well, but the post will speak for itself!

As you can see with this post, 
With New Year’s Eve right around the corner, I figured we’d all be on the lookout for appetizer recipes that are just as simple as they are delicious. A no fuss no muss type of starter without all the frills and fancy ingredients that some over-the-top recipes have. These Buttermilk Chicken Fried Potatoes are made in the same way fried chicken or chicken fried steak is prepared, which just so happens to take potatoes to the next level. They remind me of my childhood because my sisters’ and I loved going to this pizza, fried chicken and potato place when we were young, and if you’re in SoCal, then you might know just the place I’m talking about. It reminds with Blakey’s and is quite delicious. This year, let’s forget about those fancy appetizers, and let’s go back to the simple comfort classics that we all know and love. I hope you give them a try and I hope you all have a safe and very fun New Year’s Eve!

I’m a lover of all things potatoes and the thought of a “salad” composed of carbs and sausage and crumbled cheese makes me very excited, because 
I’ve been traveling to New Orleans for over three years now every month to work with my friend 
I always categorize my salads into two different types. There’s the “healthy” salads, loaded with greens and lettuce and good-for-you add-ins. These are the kinds of salads you can feel good about eating because they’re lightly dressed and actually good for you. These are also the salads I depend on when I’ve eaten too many fried foods and want some alleviation from my not-so-healthy choices. The second type of salad, which is the one I lean to the most, are the much heartier salads that actually don’t have much lettuce or greens at all. This Fried Green Tomato and Halloumi Salad is hearty, filling and loaded with so much flavor. A fried green tomato base with fried halloumi, dolloped with a Cajun-style remoulade, feta and micro greens; this is the dish you’ve been waiting for. You might not call it the healthiest salad, or a salad at all, but I certainly think of it as this summer’s salad of choice.
