Oh My Soul! Vel Scott

OH MY SOUL! is about how to create and live a healthy lifestyle by eating delicious real plant based food that rivals the bold flavored Soul Food that my husband Don and I grew up eating and enjoying. When Don was told that he had congestive heart failure and hypertension and that he had to give up some of his favorite soul food dishes, it created a new chapter in the life of our family. He was adamant that he would NEVER give up the delicious, satisfying food that he had eaten all of his life and BV (Before Vel). Pork chops smothered in gravy, ham hocks, Barbequed Pig Feet, pinto beans and ham hocks, "chitlins ", just to name a few, were the order of the day. Vel helped reverse her husband's heart disease by exploring ways to prepare the "Soul Food" that he loved by creating meals using everyday, always available fresh vegetables, grains, fruits, herbs and spices in a soulful and delicious way.
