I don’t know about you all, but I can truly appreciate a well-cooked soul food meal. Unfortunately, far too many soul food recipes are just plain bad for your health. Your tastebuds might be pleased, but your body can only take so much fat, butter and salt.

I am actually hosting my first Christmas dinner this year and I am keeping health in mind as I cook for several family members who are suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and many other ailments. Below is a link to an  old ABC News story about healthy soul food recipes from Sylvia’s. The information is old, but the idea is still fresh. Please take the time to read it and try to find other healthy recipes online. You can even get a little creative and make your own healthy concoctions.

Have you already whipped up a healthy soul food dish? Tell us about it.

Thanks for the link, Narmer.
