Hey Reader!
When you think of traditional Southern food, you probably think of fried chicken, cornbread, sausage gravy, and barbecue. However, these rich and indulgent dishes are traditionally enjoyed only on occasion.
True Southern food is healthier than you might think. We love fresh, seasonal produce, lean meats, and beans—which are not only high in fiber and protein, they're also inexpensive and filling!
If you've made a resolution to eat a little healthier this year, you don't have to sacrifice flavor! Added bonus that these recipes are also easy on the pocketbook!
