Tossing Greens Beyond Salads

A New Way to Enjoy Southern Home Cooking: Wholesome, Plant-Based, and Oil-Free. Southern food is more than just cooking—it's culture, community, and comfort. It's Sunday and holiday suppers, handwritten recipes, and the aroma of something simmering on the stove. I grew up on food that told a story. Each dish was rich with tradition and flavor, but often also rich in oil, butter, and ingredients that no longer fit how I choose to nourish my body. Here you'll find recipes reimagined for the way we eat today. No meat. No dairy. No added oils. Just the comfort of familiar Southern favorites made with whole foods, herbs, spices, and a whole lot of heart. From skillet cornbread and smoked greens to oven-fried okra and sweet potato pie, each recipe brings that down-home feeling without the heaviness. Whether you are just beginning your plant-based journey or you've been living this lifestyle for years, I hope this collection brings you joy, nourishment, and a deep connection to the foods you love. Let's bring the comfort home—one wholesome, oil-free bite at a time.
