Healthy Southern Dishes Round Up

Hi Everyone,

Last year I was invited to Baton Rouge for a foodie weekend. I would have never thought Baton Rouge for a fun food fest weekend, but you know what? I had the best food, met the nicest people, hung out with my food blogging friends and I swore when I left I would return one day. Well that day has come! One year later, I was invited back to Baton Rouge to catch up with my blogging friends and to explore more areas of Baton Rouge. I have never been so excited for a vacation. I hope you are following me on Instagram to check out all of the fun things I am exploring. One thing about events like this is I learn about new foods. Last year I had fried catfish, alligator, bread pudding, hush puppies and so much more. I think deep down I am a southern girl because I didn’t have one thing I didn’t love to eat. I took what I learned and brought it home to share with you, friends and family. So today I thought I would share with you a round-up of healthy southern dishes that I was inspired to make while visiting Louisiana. I can’t wait to see what I learn this year and what I will be making for you. I still want to make pralines since last year I tried and burnt them, not cool. So let’s get going on my round-up of Southern Dishes.
