Soul Food Cooking has always centered around vegetables, beans and peas. But somewhere along the line soul food has become labeled as unhealthy. I can't remember every having a true soul food dinner without eating healthy foods.
Healthy foods such as collard greens, black-eyed peas, pinto beans and sweet potatoes, just to name a few, can be found on many southern tables when families are enjoying deliciously prepared soul foods.
I have compiled some recipes in order to assist you in adding a healthy dishes to your soul food meals. I generally have a single serving of 2-3 different healthy foods such as vegetables, beans or peas with my soul food meals. Be sure to add 2-3 healthy foods to your soul food menu too.
