❤️ Final Thought: Great Food Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
You don’t need 17 ingredients or a culinary degree to make something magical.
Sometimes, all it takes is:
A pound of gizzards
A cast-iron skillet
And the courage to say: “Today, I’m honoring tradition.”
And when your partner says, “Did you get this from a Southern diner?”
Or your kid hugs you after the first bite…
You’ll know:
You didn’t just make dinner.
You made legacy.
