Healthier Southern Cooking

Inspired by Eric Jones mixed southern and Cajun heritage, this book is full of familiar favorites re-created for a healthier lifestyle. To address the health concerns that came to him with age and awareness, Eric makes small adjustments to lower the salt, fat, carbs or calories, without compromising the flavors he loves.

You'll be surprised at just how healthy home-style favorites like Momma Pearl's Pot Roast, Blackened Fish and Grits and Chicken Sausage Jambalaya can be. No one will miss cholesterol-raising red meat with lean protein recipes like Chicken Fried Chicken instead of steak and New Orleans Style Blackened Salmon instead of catfish. And even desserts can be better for you with crowd pleasing options like the Healthy Peach Crisp and Dark Chocolate Tarte.

Full of southern charm and a little bit of Cajun flair, there's a recipe in this cookbook to accommodate any dietary consideration.
