Smoky Pork Chops with Maque Choux-Style Vegetables
Our modern take on this traditional dish offers a lighter, crisper combination of vegetables, allowing you to truly experience the fresh flavors.
Skillet-Grilled Red Pepper Shrimp
So as not to stifle the nutrients in shrimp and grits, we've cut the butter and cheese so often laced throughout, cutting cholesterol in the process and adding ample iron and vitamins A and C.
Shrimp & Vegetable Sauté with Cheesy Grits
Adding beaten egg whites to these luscious cheesy grits increases their volume (so you'll feel like you're eating more!), yet gives them a light texture. And if zucchini's not in its prime, substitute any seasonal vegetables you love!
Not-So-Fried Chicken
Clean cook and host of FitTV's Healthy Decadence, Devin Alexander takes the fried out of a beloved chicken dish. It tastes so good you'll wonder why you've relied on the grease for so long!
Creole Chicken & Okra
Creole dishes are slow simmered, which unfortunately translates to a loss of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For this reason, we kept the stove-top time for our chicken and okra brief.
Country-Fried Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Skillet-fried using minimal oil, our country steak has all the makings of its artery-clogging contemporaries with a fraction of the fat. Serve it swathed in mushroom gravy.
Cheddar Cornbread Jalapeño Poppers
Jalapeño poppers are generally laden with cheese, breaded and deep-fried – not exactly a clean snack! We reduced the cheese and mixed it into a baked cornbread batter. Serve them with your favorite salsa and a bit of sour cream.
Breakfast Thyme Pork Chops with Quick-Cooked Apples
If pork chops for breakfast seem uncommon, it may be time to treat yourself to a little Southern comfort! And, while warmed apples are a popular morning side, don't limit yourself to this single fruit: firm pears or nectarines will work nicely here, too.
Black-Eyed Pea & Onion Fritters
Black-eyed peas are a staple in the South and, when coupled with whole grains (think brown rice or corn bread), they become a complete meatless protein. Plus, we call upon low-cal, zero-fat and cholesterol-free egg whites to hold it all together.
