Ask Eva from Our Way Cafe how she makes those new cinnamon sticky buns they serve at Sunday brunch.

I’d like to see more challenges that concentrate on healthy options using ingredients for the less sophisticated culinary palate. Can we see more of healtheir spins on traditional Southern fare?
I realize that’s an oxymoron, Southern food is not known for its benifits to healthy eatiing but my husband had a health scare recently and needs to radically change his eating habits. My family made the decision to support him by us all changing our eating habits, but processed convenience foods have taken a large part of my pantry. I want to get rid of them, how do I do so and keep my family of five fed, healthier and economically?

Hi there— I’m Jen, and I’m on the Dinner Dare team. These suggestions are excellent— keep ‘em coming. Linton Hopkins and Shaun Doty are definitely on our radar. Stacey, I love your idea for healthier spins on Southern cooking, and offering more of that. That’s something we can certainly do.
Your last question— “how did I do so and keep my family of five fed, healthier, and economically?”— is one we are going to be answering in many ways in the next several weeks on EveningEdge.com. To start, we’ve collected some of our favorite budget recipes— you can find them here: http://projects.eveningedge.com/recipes/list/?criteria=budget&page=1&filtercuisine=93&filterrating=

I’d like to Gena Berry give some recipes. Gena has long been around the Atlanta food scene and makes some great dishes. She’s great at explaining what she’s doing.

I’d like to see some vegetarian things. . . i have a lot of trouble cooking anything for my wife (the vegetarian) that doesn’t seem like another variation of stif fry. .
and being from the South certainly doesn’t help me either. . it seems like everything i try to remember from my grandmother was flavored with meat in some way. .
thanks.
