I’m Christina the picture taker, recipe maker, food & home enthusiast behind this blog here.
Mom and wife of four I started this blog to document and share my kitchen adventures, good, bad, and ugly!
Off the blog I get to share my life with an interesting, handsome, and hilarious man named Noah.
One two-year old boy, a 4-year-old girl, and 8-year-old boy girl twins, complete or brood.
I work full-time outside of the home with a state Veteran Program.
I enjoy everything house and home.
I’m food obsessed, I will literally travel hours to get my favorite hush puppies, fried rice, cupcakes, or food ingredient “I just have to have”!
I’ve recently converted to a grain free diet (which was one of the best decisions of my life!), but that’s where it gets interesting!
I have to create recipes and substitution to maintain the deliciousness that my taste buds are accustomed to!
Now everything I cook and bake is from scratch, and I have to find the most quality, healthy, but affordable ingredients.

Hi Christina! Hope this makes the post, as I see that there are no comments since 2014.
Thank you for sharing your amazing family Soul Food Pigs Feet recipe with the public. I’m very grateful that you did. I purchased 2 pigs feet from a local butcher, who obtained them from a locally raised pig. My husband didn’t want to eat it, so I made 1 for myself. (2 would be too much for me at one time) I enjoyed the recipe so much! I’m preparing the pigs foot again today following your recipe. It’s simmering on the stove now. The sage is intoxicating.
Thirty years ago, I used to make pigs feet, ears, snout South American style, then chopped it up super fine so the kids would eat it mixed with rice. But, I got away from eating too much meat, because of the hormones used in raising the live stock. Lately, I’ve come back to eating offal (the other parts) due to health reasons, and because I buy locally, humanely raised meat. Your recipe is a KEEPER! In about an hour or so, I’m going to go out and pick the collards that my husband and I planted in our yard and add them to the pot. I didn’t have the availability of fresh collards last time, so I used green cabbage, which was marvelous. An added benefit to having the pigs foot was the delicious broth with the life giving collagen, which lends to healthy skin and youthful flexibility.
So, if anyone reads my comments, GO FOR IT! This is a super recipe! Not to be missed!
Thank you, and I’m so happy you enjoyed it Mary! I don’t think people realize how great pig feet are for health. I love that you’re using local and humanely raised meat as well, that’s awesome!
