Baked Fish, Cabbage & Cornbread

I really wanted to make cabbage the way my mom made it while I was growing up, unfortunately, I didn't have any ham hocks to put in them.

I went on the internet to find a recipe for cabbage that I could make with what I had in the fridge and cupboard.

I found a recipe with 4.9 stars and decided to give it a try, because I had ALL of the ingredients.

I followed the recipe with the exception of a few things.  I added a smoked turkey wing, and some garlic powder. Instead of using season salt, and regular salt, I used some Slap Yo Mamma seasoning.  I wanted to add some spiciness to them.  

I haven't cooked cabbage in years, but I will tell you, it came out really good!! My daughter, and one of her friends that happened to visit really liked the cabbage.  Oh yeah, they liked the fish and cornbread too! :-))

The recipe is in the link below.  Just copy and paste it to your browser.

Soul Food - Chez Soul

Yes, Yes, YASSSSS!!!! This little soul food place located in Fairfield, CA was on point!!! Outside of home cooking, as in cooking in your own kitchen, this was some serious soul food.  I was hanging out with some High School friends, and we got a little bit of everything.  The pic you see below was my plate.  

I HAD to have some fried catfish.  It was soooooooooo incredibly good!! If you are ever in Fairfield, do go and check out Chez Soul, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

The food comes out piping hot, not like some places you go to and you get the feeling that the food has been sitting around for a while before it was served to you.  Not this place!!

What you see here is my catfish with hot sauce, red beans and rice, mac n cheese and some melt in your mouth cornbread.  Let me say that again...melt...in....your....mouth!! :-))
