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.

‘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!
