I'll be the first to admit that you want find traditionally prepared soul food on my dinner table every night for two simple reasons. First, cooking up delicious meals like grandma is just too time consuming. Second, I have a family history of diabetes and prefer to avoid potential problems by eating healthy.

However, this doesn't stop me from eating soul food in moderation. With that being said you can find me fixing up some southern cooking on most Sundays and definitely at family gatherings and during holidays.
