As Alabama temperatures begin to drop, my hankering for comforting home-cooked meals only increases.
I visited one of my go-to websites Chews Wisely Alabama to discover some fresh new recipes to try.
Read more to explore five of their best soups and sides to help you stay warm all fall long.
Healthy recipes for longevity
As Southerners, it’s fair to say that our love for good food is ingrained in us from birth.
Chews Wisely Alabama originated by recognizing a big need to make our favorite savory meals a little bit healthier.
Their platform educates people across the state on making smarter food choices, all while preserving the taste and traditions we cherish.
1. Vegetable dumplings
Starting off strong, we have yummy vegetable dumplings. These bite-sized delights are jam-packed with some serious vegetable power.
Dunk these mushroom, cabbage, carrot and shallot-filled dumplings in your favorite low sugar sweet chili sauce or low sodium soy sauce to pack an unforgettable punch.
2. Sunflower ginger slaw
Down South, sunflowers seeds reign supreme. This sunflower ginger slaw proves that in every bite.
Combine low sugar peanut butter, honey, hot sauce, fresh ginger and shredded sunflower seeds for a mouthful of delicious flavor.
3. Blackened chicken wontons with remoulade sauce
In need of a nutritious boost of protein? Look no further than blackened chicken wontons.
Serve these chicken, onion, bell pepper and garlic-filled wontons with a drizzle of homemade remoulade sauce and enjoy.
4. Southern basil pea soup
Nothing captures the essence of fall quite like a warm bowl of soup–Southern basil pea soup to be exact.
Simmer peas, lima beans, basil and thyme in chicken broth then top with shredded ham hock for extra protein.
5. Roasted cabbage with mustard-chive vinaigrette
Getting your veggies in doesn’t have to be boring. You can spice up a standard roasted cabbage with just a few extra ingredients.
After roasting, douse your cabbage in a vinaigrette of dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and fresh chives for an unbeatable tang.
