 Down at the bend where the road splits—one way toward comfort, the other toward change—there’s a little table set for supper. The lace is old, the candles flicker low, and the scent of something creamy and sinful hangs in the air like a whispered memory. That’s where we find ourselves today, sittin’ knee to knee with temptation in the form of a heaping bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo.

But this ain’t the Alfredo of your mama’s Sunday dinner or the kind that made you loosen your belt and swear off good sense. No sir, this here is a redemption dish—where the noodles are clever, the sauce is light, and the burden of guilt has been cast out like a demon at a revival.

We’re talking about wrestlin’ down the wild horses of carbohydrates and lectins, not with scorn, but with grace and a bit of kitchen wisdom. Because down here in the South, we know how to make even a compromise taste like it came from heaven’s own pot.

So pull up a chair, say grace, and pass the healthy Alfredo—because Cornbread and Buttermilk are fixin’ to teach us how to eat clean without losing our soul.
