HOUSTON – When you think of salads, you might think you’ll end up feeling hungry soon after with just vegetables and fruits, but our next guest is here to show you that salads can be fulfilling and fun!
She’s cookbook author and blogger, Leigh Ann Chatagnier with My Diary of Us, who stopped by our studio with 3 beautiful and flavorful options for your family.
Leigh Ann shared time-saving tips for these recipes, including using store-bought cornbread for your croutons and using chicken tenders are a great alternative to frying homemade for a speedy but fresh summer dinner. However, she does stress the need of going for homemade dressing when making a tasty salad.
She’s also a fan of adding seasonal ingredients like tomatoes, berries, and peaches and you’ll see that in her recipes.
Leigh Ann is the author of Modern Cajun Cooking.
