Make a pan of southern cornbread and have some syrup on the side for dipping!.

Hoe Cakes

* 2 cups corn meal
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups boiling water
* oil for frying

Put the tea kettle on to boil!. In a large bowl combine the corn meal and salt!. When the water boils, measure it in a metal or tempered-glass measuring cup!. Pour the boiling water over the cornmeal and stir it up!. The cornmeal will swell up, absorbing the water, and making a very thick mash!.

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium high heat!. You can use as little as two tablespoon of oil per panful, but it is a little easier to use 4 or 5 tablespoons of oil for each panful!. Use your waistline and frying skill as the final judge!. Now scoop up a little of the cornmeal mush (about 1/4-cup) and shape it into a patty!. It will still be warm from the boiling water, so be careful not to burn yourself!. You can let it cool down some more first if you like!. Plop the patty into the hot fat, and get it to frying!. Make some more, until you have a whole pan full!. I usually cook about 4 or 5 at a time!. When the underside is crispy brown, turn them and cook the other side!. When both sides are crispy and brown, transfer them to a plate to keep warm, and start another batch!. This recipe makes about 12 hoe cakes!.

Originally, Native Americans cooked these on hot rocks in an open fire!. They were commonly referred to as Ash Cakes!. Later on, settlers from Europe adopted the recipe, cooking the cakes on the blades of their hoes in the fireplace!. This is where they get the name, "Hoe Cakes"!. Of all the recipes in my collection, this one is the oldest, the cheapest, and just about the tastiest of all!. Serve Hoe Cakes with as a bread, or by themselves for breakfast with maple syrup or molasses!. They also make a nice accompaniment to main meals, especially when fried in margarine!. In the summertime, when you want a hot bread, but don't want to heat up the oven, this is the best choice!. They cook right on top of the stove, without heating up the entire house!. Good for camping and back packing too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

fried cornbread--- actually just about anything fried- fried steak, chicken, or pork
the fried cornbread is the easiest though and cheapest

yellow corn meal
egg
water
milk

mix corn meal with one egg and small amounts of water and milk until pancake like mixture (a little thinner though)!.
warm skillet-- put in a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil (or bacon grease if you have it)- warm it up
spoon cornmeal mixture in skillet to make individual pancakes
when you see the pancakes stop bubbling flip over and cook for a couple minutes on the other side until doneWww@FoodAQ@Com

you could make greens!. just get a pack in the produce aisle!. get a spaghetti pot and put a little olive oil (a tablespoon) and sautee finely chopped onions!. then take a smoked turkey neck and a hamhock (gross sounding i know, but the flavor is delicious) and throw them in the pot!. cover them with water and bring to a boil!. throw in the greens, bring to a boil and simmer till tender!. it makes a lot of food and it is pure southern!

also you could take anything and fry it!. chicken is the best!Www@FoodAQ@Com

cornbread with cane syrup is easy!. i don't know the recipe by heart--go to the store and get a bag of WHITE LILY CORNMEAL MIX!. it's important to get the mix because it has all the baking agents in it already--i use it when i'm in a hurry, but it tastes awesome!. get a bottle of roddenberry's cane patch syrup or a jar of sorghum syrup!. YUM!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Banana Pudding !. The one made with Vanilla Wafers!. My Mom and Grandmother are from the deep south and I am thankful!. Fried pies are good too!. For recipes and ideas go to southern living!.com and their cooking section!. The pudding is easy!. Look for the recipe on Nabisco Vanilla Wafer box!. You don't have to cook it all from scratch any more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would make homemade biscuits and bring some jam or honey to eat them with!. Keep in mind, in the 1930's there were no microwaves or quickie short cut meals like they have nowadays, everything was made fresh (veggies, etc) and biscuits were a staple at every meal!. Try this recipe:
