Mom was not the best cook. There were some women where I grew up who were the kind of cooks that dreams are made of. But mom made the best navy beans and Cornbread. She cooked her navy beans with a cottage ham. She made her cornbread in a cast iron skillet. The cornbread was yellow and black where it baked in the skillet. It had that gritty texture. I don't like cornbread that taste like cake. I have tried a 100 times to make navy beans like hers. I cannot. Mine tastes bland compared to hers. I don't know why.
