Kale Salad with Buttermilk Dressing

“This crunchy, tangy salad has a slaw consistency and we love it with grilled meat, barbecue, or even fried chicken. It wilts and softens slowly and is a fine choice for a buffet-style party.” Sam Beall – Chef, Blackberry Farm

Collard Greens with Ginger and Soy

My favorite way to prepare collard greens! During the fall and winter months many stores sell large bags of pre-cut collards which make this recipe a snap. Any mixture of winter greens can easily be substituted.

Black Eyed Pea Soup

Nothing says the south like the smell of black-eyed peas cooking on the stovetop. This hearty soup is perfect for winter suppers by the fire and don’t forget a big piece of homemade cornbread for a side.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Flavorful yet so easy to prepare – I love making this soup in double batches and freezing some for last minute suppers.
