Home Cookin on Ridin out the Recession

Family | Comments | June 27, 2011

First off, I just want to say that I tried the recipe for the fried bean cakes. These little mother’s were pretty good. I couldn’t even get Deb to try one?? After much, “C’mon Deb, just try one,” she finally responded with a, “Dern Dub, I’ve just had a chemo treatment!” I told her that I surely understood that she had, but it didn’t seem to bother her intake of peas and cream corn in the least!! Women!

Seriously though I couldn’t get her to try one, but again, I liked them. Actually, if you like lima beans, and you like cornbread, how could you not like them. I used a pint of beans we had canned. I also took my hands and mashed them up good, although the recipe doesn’t call for this. I guess after Deb kept saying she didn’t want one, well, I just had the urge to…mash something! I mixed salt, 2 eggs, ¼ cup of milk, and 1 cup of cornmeal in a bowl. I put a little bacon grease in a skillet, and heated this up. While this was going on, I mixed the beans into the corn meal mixture. I then would just grab me a handful, patty it out, and fried them until golden brown. This made eight cakes.

Dub and Deb——Bio and Archives

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!

Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.

Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.

Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
