First 100 pages are cornbread and biscuits.
Collard greens made with ham hocks and no sugar
Buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy (you will not drain the pan before making the gravy…)

Peach cobbler?
Oh, it’s there, but like I said below, I’ve never been a peach fan. I think it’s the texture, they come across as slimy.
Pecan pie?
29 pecan variants, pies, cookies, puddings, breads…
If there is a sour cream pound cake, I would start there!
There are SIX poundcake recipes, but only 2 use sour cream and one of those is a peach poundcake and I’m not a fan of peaches, but I suppose I could sub in pears or apples.
I did find this one that has no sour cream, but it does have three STICKS of butter AND 8 ounces of cream cheese.
I would serve the fruit fresh as a topping with whipped cream. Peaches or strawberries! Maybe blueberries. (From a Southerner - me)
Oh damn. Heading to Amazon…
Cornbread in all it’s glorious variations…
I’m sure 100 of those are a butter or lard cakes. Probably delicious, but they will kill you eventually 🤣
But damn what a great way to go!
Seriously though, it’s less the fats and more the sugar and simple carbs (flour). Combine them all and it’s really Not a Good Thing©.
But I’m still makin’ it. With all the butter and lard.
I’m already on borrowed time… ;)
I’d make that cake on the cover. It looks delicious.
Another vote for the cake.
Just flipping through, it looks like Minnie Pearl’s Corn Light Bread:
