Comfort food - Thanks to my mom. One of our favorite summer meals, growing up. Also comfort food when needed!!!
White beans with ham, over wilted leaf lettuce (with radishes and bacon)…homemade salsa , except we never called it salsa; it was "tomato stuff"...and of course, cornbread.
Our favorite thing to do is plate the wilted lettuce, making a center to put the beans on.
Southern comfort food always helps. Leftovers will be turned into bean soup tomorrow. Mom always served with fresh green onions, right out of her garden - Kay
