This weeks Travels in the South is brought to you by the mommy – snorts. Her and daddy went out over the weekend and she found a really awesome salad that was right up her alley. You see it in the picture? This was called the cornbread fried chicken salad. Can you say yum? Do you see those giant croutons surrounding the sides of the salad? That is cornbread cut into croutons. Now mom didn’t eat them *in* her salad. She ate them on the side. They were delicious. Dad didn’t care for them that much and mom was fine with that. She said it was more for her. Why were they so good? They had corn and jalapenos in them. Mom said they also had a tad of sugar that she could taste which cut down the heat of the jalapenos. And of course with mom’s love of fried chicken, having some chicken in her salad was absolutely heaven.
Was it all par for eating healthy? Probably not. But this date, it touched a special place in mom’s heart… and tummy.

Mom and dad said this salad was one of the bests they’ve had in some time. No strictly on plan but so worth every little bite. XOXO – Bacon

Yum! Tell your mom we have a special festival here in New Orleans that is just for fried chicken, the International Fried Chicken Festival. Can you imagine anything more fabulous? Definitely worth the diet splurge. 😉

It’s September 23 and 24. Last year was the first year and it was such a huge success that they’ve expanded it from one day to two days and moved it to a larger venue. I mean, duh, didn’t they realize how much people love fried chicken? Here’s a link: http://www.friedchickenfestival.com/
