Green Sauce Salmon

I am a committed seafood lover. My love persists despite the notion I was a vegetarian for 20 years. Even maligned frog legs appeal greatly to me, surely they qualify as seafood, and really, they do taste like chicken. The Green Sauce Salmon occurred quite by accident one Friday evening. Reminiscent of the best fish…

Everything Bagel & Lox Salad

The basis of the African American Heritage diet pyramid are greens like collards, turnip and mustard. The basis of the Everything Bagel & Lox Salad are organic greens but don’t use collard, turnip nor mustard greens.

Classic Southern Sauteed Cabbage

The first recipe I gave you for Sauteed Cabbage was so popular I decided I’d give you another. A good source of quercetin, Vitamin C, and fiber, African-American staple Cabbage and its’ cruciferous cousins such as Collard Greens, are likely the healthiest foods on the planet.
