Buffalo Chicken Salad

A popular game day delight is Buffalo chicken wings. Typically fried wings served with french fries, celery and carrots. Well I decided to switch up our normal game day buffalo chicken wings meal with a healthier version, my Buffalo Chicken salad. This salad was one of my favorite salads that I have prepared in a long time. So easy and the perfect week day meal that can be prepped ahead of time with the exception of the chicken. This salad was tasty, filled with lots of textures and delicious well-balanced flavors. So good. A healthy meal for any day of the week!

Homemade Tartar Sauce

Fish Friday is something we have very often. Growing up in Louisiana we ate Fish on Friday every week.  When we eat fried fish tartar sauce is a must have condiment.  We didn’t have any bottled tartar sauce left from the last time we cooked fried fish.
