I'm 43 years old and at 30 I realized
0:21
that I didn't feel great and I wanted to
0:23
start taking better care of myself I
0:25
grew up in Southwest Georgia in the
0:27
1970s with not only a mother that's a
0:29
great traditional cook my whole family I
0:33
grew up in a food family and I realized
0:36
that the things that I love the most I
0:38
just couldn't have every day but I want
0:40
them I crave
0:42
them so what I've done and what I strive
0:44
to do constantly is find these
0:47
traditional Southern or traditional
0:49
family recipes and try to in very
0:52
Elementary ways scale back the fat and
0:54
calories and still maintain the
0:55
integrity and the flavor and the recipes
0:57
and I know that we did it in the first
0:58
book 350 calories or less I tested and
1:02
tasted every one of those recipes and
1:03
they were great and we're continuing
1:06
that thought

here you know food is love and the
1:14
kitchen is the heart of the home and
1:16
it's a very relaxing place to be and
1:18
it's what I like everything we're
1:20
talking about is 30 minutes or less even
1:23
though I want to spend more time with my
1:24
friends and with my family and the
1:26
people I enjoy being around and cooking
1:27
with I don't necessarily want the meal
1:30
to take me 2 hours to prepare I want
1:33
that time to sort of gather and be with
1:35
my friends and enjoy each other's
1:37
company so the the food shouldn't be
1:39
overly complicated but it should be
1:40
beautiful and it should be very good and
1:43
it should be
1:45
nutritious these recipes are very much
1:48
an indication of who I am and how I live
1:50
my life if I can help people not
1:53
necessarily just in the South but let's
1:54
start here let's have that ripple effect
1:57
go out and let's all maybe eat a little
1:59
bit more healthfully and and and be a
2:01
little bit more conscious of what we're
2:02
putting in our
2:04
bodies and be there for our kids be
2:07
there for our friends and our family and
2:09
and and live a healthy life and
2:11
understand that good food doesn't have
2:13
to be complicated and it doesn't
2:14
necessarily have to be fattening and bad
2:17
for you good food can be good good food
2:20
can be good for you
