Deb bless your heart enjoy your beans.

I ate pinto beans 365 days a year for probably 12 years sometimes we got a bone or a ham hock to flavor them and once or twice a year we even got some corn bread.
I ate so many pinto beans that I will never fix pinto beans in my house. I do eat lot's of other beans and pea's though.

Grandma will eat beans every day if you have em. And she was raised on a pinto bean farm.

I like cornbread but I like it lightly sweet... Not like a muffin just regular cornbread with some sugar in it. My favorite way is doing hoe cakes. but I dont get to make those very often

Boy I cna understand the "food of necessity" overlaod. Mom did that to me with hot dogs. Now I can barely stand the smell of them.

Smoked ham hocks would have been great. Nope, we had the old greasy, fatty ones. The one that really got to me was beans and oxtails.

I'm pretty much an omnivore but I just couldn't stomach those things. Must have been my dad's German genes cause he couldn't stomach them either. He and I filled up on beans and cornbread on those nights.

And cornbread! Love that stuff. I usually poured honey on it and ate it like a desert.

I love corn bread and muffins both savory and sweet. Have a excellent recipe for honey corn bread cake, honey in the batter and dusted with powdered sugar, even our kids love it and they really don't like corn bread. Pretty funny, try to buy smoked ham hocks or oxtails in the store and they cost more than T-bone steak now days....

edited to add, dang, I made a lot of pickled deer heart and tongues a couple yrs ago, so good I figured, dang, should make it with beef tongue. Do you think I could find some? I'm sure I could have and cheap if I checked local butchers, regular grocery stores, none, Wal-Mart had them, more expensive than T-bone steak Lol! No thanks.

I grew pinto and white northern beans this yr, very easy and from dollar store for eating bags, super cheap and grew great. I bought some just to see if they would sprout to feed the chickens, dang WOW! they did, so I planted lots of them. Much easier to shuck also than peas, easy to shuck when the outside is dried paper thin and the seeds are hard. Made lots of beans and ham.

Yep... and if you dont have ham you can use salt pork.

Perchie, love your avatar. That my credo, when creeps follow me, a good blast will send them on their way.

I bet I could empty out Walmart on a good day.
