Quinoa and bacon, probably not two ingredients you see together a whole lot. However, I happen to think they make a great match! What does bacon not go with anyway? This is a beautiful and healthy, summer salad that you can make with lots of fresh ingredients for a picnic or barbecue. It also doesn’t have to be served hot, which makes it really easy for making ahead and transporting.
Watch the video for my tips and tricks to make this flavorful, southern summer salad!

I love the original version of course, but if you’re looking to try something different, maybe lighten things up while giving your deviled eggs a pop of flavor, I’ve got a recipe for you!
This recipe makes 12 deviled eggs but you can easily double it if you have a bigger group. Hope you enjoy it, and Happy Easter!

Hands down one of my favorite southern casseroles is good ol corn pudding. This one is made with fresh, sweet corn, and it’s lightened up a little from the traditional version. If you’re making this during the fall or winter, frozen corn, thawed, will work here as well. However, you just can’t beat sweet southern corn, it really makes all of the difference in this dish. Give this one a try for your Easter brunch/lunch this Spring, you won’t be disappointed!
