Here’s a meal plan with ingredients inspired from the American South. While researching the recipes for this box, we came across the work of the late Edna Lewis, a granddaughter of freed slaves and caretaker of Southern cooking traditions. A lot of these recipes are sourced from her book “The Gift of Southern Cooking,” written with Scott Peacock. The James Beard Foundation said her food represented a time when American cooking was a series of family events, and in a brilliant essay she wrote called What Is Southern? she reveals her mission to save the recipes and traditions of the South and pass them down to future generations.

Corn Bread (follow instructions on mix) + Garlic Green Beans
