Greens, grits and gravy. Fried chicken and fried mullet (don't forget the hushpuppies!). Beans and cornbread or fritters. Pecan pie! Fried green tomatos, black-eyed peas, red beans and rice, gumbo, green beans with a little ham and onions, shrimp and grits, pulled pork, chicken and dumplings, biscuits and sausage gravy (and yes, Mary B's are great!), corn pudding, sweet potatoes (made any way -- baked, mashed, candied or made into a pie), stewed okra, corn and tomatoes, cheese grits, Red Velvet cake ....
(deep breath....)....or you might want to go Creole with some jambalaya, dirty rice, crawfish, or etouffee.
Now do you see why I had to start dieting? LOL!!!
