That's a delicious combo Blubayou. My Mother made the best sweet pickles I've ever eaten. I love my cornbread. I bake it in an iron skillet for a crusty crunchy crust, and I always add a tablespoon of sugar to the mix.

OH yummies too!

We don't have the same red beans here in Oregon like in Louisiana or least that was what I was told a long time ago. I know I only find red kidney beans in the store and that is not the same thing the lady I knew used, when we lived in the south and the friends we made from New Orleans she used to cook them every Monday...we were honored to share their dinner table a few times! She put sausages in her beans too...

We were in Ill. for a few months while my husband was doing construction work and they did not sell red beans or grits anywhere near us. We could get lots of pinto beans, but they're not nearly the same.

Do you have your mama's pickle recipe?

I also add a little sugar to my cornbread mix.

I think I will look on the net for an online source!
