CornerStore Cooking

I have always had a different relationship with food albeit it has been more of an unhealthy one and sometimes toxic than it has been healthy. Raised in the South, Alabama, near grandparents that had two ponds stocked with all kinds of fish, enough land to have all kinds of vegetables and chickens you would think that I had all I needed to have a healthy lifestyle. My Great Grandmother also lived nearby, and she too had a garden stocked with plenty of veggies. Living near them, there was lots of fishing memories with my Great Grandmother and I would always have to clean what we caught, which could be why I am not as big of a fan of fish today. During the summer we would harvest all sorts of veggies such as squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, corn, turnip greens, okra and potatoes. Yet, being raised in the south around lots of vegetables doesn't always mean that you are eating healthy. Anyone familiar with the way things are cooked in the south will know tha
