Miranda, I wish I knew how to make good biscuits! My grandmother's were the best! People called them "cat head" biscuits because they were about as big as a cat's head. Anytime we had a family get-together, we always asked her to bring her biscuits. I miss them (and her) now that she's gone. The canned or frozen ones just aren't the same!Date: 8/6/2008 5:09:34 PM

As a southern Cali girl through and through I have to say anything grilled - chicken (whole or parts), steak (mostly filet), fish, vegetables, potatoes. My dad did most of the cooking and everything was grilled. We ate a lot of salads as well.
I think I was a Southern girl in another life because southern food is my FAVORITE. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, sweet potato pie, fried corn, collards, kale greens, on the list goes. These are all of my favorite foods. I cook them all the time so when my kids grow up they will probably say the foods that remind them of home are southern dishes.
But I absolutely refuse to eat collards! My great aunt Pearl (I'm authentically southern!) used to make collard greens all the time, and it stunk up the house SOOOO bad. I've never been able to get past the smell enough to actually try eating them - it totally grosses me out.
