I'm from NC and collard greens were a staple at our house, even when we moved to Florida. As I recall, my mother cooked them with bacon. I wasn't a big fan either, but the way she cooked them they were edible. And cabbage... yum. I don't know how she did it.
My mother lived to be 97 and ate that way all her life. I know she put fat back in some things and of course, we had bacon. But they worked, they used their bodies in ways that would probably wear us out.I'm from NC and collard greens were a staple at our house, even when we moved to Florida.

My grandmother also made the best peach pie I've ever eaten using real biscuits. There is something to be said for Southern cooking.
I am also intimately familiar with fat back and pork grease. Amazing with both lived this long!
Have you ever had peaches and dumplings? Ohhhh..soooooo good! Me being a lazy cook, I'd never bother with making pies, but my mother used to make peaches and dumplings as well as cakes (she was known for her cakes) and pies. The P & Ds were so good and easy, I've made it a few times over the years but I eat too much of it, so haven't made it in a long time.My mother lived to be 97 and ate that way all her life.

~Canned peaches
~Biscuit dough (for lazy me...canned dough)
~Sugar or sugar free sweetener to taste*
~Cinnamon to taste*
Combine the ingredients and boil until the dough looks cooked. Let cool a bit and enjoy. It's good warm or cold.
*I very rarely measure added ingredients.
You can surely do better than that...
Unfortunately, I can't eat chocolate any more but I still listen to all these artists from back in the day. I was in high school when they were popular. Good memories
What can I say? I'm very private as everyone here knows.
Surely, you meant to say, "Banan Split"! Now that makes sense...
No, my doctor was very explicit about not eating bananas. He even hand wrote it on instructions.
I just spent about 30 minutes researching peaches and dumplings. Something called Po Mans Peach Cobbler got a zillion likes and favorable comments. Wandering around the web is one of my guilty pleasures.My mother lived to be 97 and ate that way all her life. I know she put fat back in some things and of course, we had bacon.

I'm a New Englander and when I first tasted collard greens I fell in love. I've never cooked them myself tho'. I might try some day.
Rose, I have had a similar experience!
In the past, when we went to old time Rock & Roll dances, the lady wore seamed stockings. It was the most innocent of dance moves to spin her. So many fellows taking a furtive peek. Definitely not my guilt trip.
Collard greens and corn bread...part of a classic southern meal. I used to eat it at home but as mentioned before, I was not a fan, nor will I ever be of collard greens. I guess I'm too much of a city girl.
Although for some unknown reason, one of my husband's nicknames for me was Country Girl.
