Come and cook some supper with me today, we are having pork back bone, October beans, stewed potatoes, cornbread made from fresh corn meal and peach cobbler for dessert. Cooking your own food at home doesn't have to be hard or extremely time consuming, we work like dogs in the summer so we can eat like kings in the winter!

We get most of our seeds from Hoss Tools shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=862842&u=3297601&m=65739&ur… yall be sure to check it out!

I will not be posting the recipe for the cornbread out of respect for the GSMA, I do mention the ingredients throughout the video. If you'd like to purchase the Mountain Makin's cookbook you can find it here ➡️ smokiesinformation.org/product/mountain-makins-coo…

Peach Cobbler Recipe
If using fresh or frozen:
1-2 cups fresh or frozen peaches
1 Tbsp sugar
Just enough water to cover peaches

Combine the above, simmer until sugar has melted

1 cup self rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 stick of butter (melted)
1 cup milk

Combine these ingredients. Add to a 9x13 baking dish. Pour peach mixture over the flour mixture, or if using canned peaches open them and evenly pour them over flour mixture. DO NOT STIR. Place in a 425 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and bubbly.

    I just happened on your channel and you cook like I was taught to cook. I’m 80 years old,still do my own cooking,housecleaning,laundry and I am handicapped on top of it. I can’t get to church anymore but I listen on my I - Pad. My husband and I have been married for 57 years. He is a retired farmer and I am retired from being a pharmacy technician. Love watching you very much.❤😊

    Mama used to cook back bones and they were delicious. Those October beans remind me of Grandma. She always planted them. That corn bread looks like all it needs is a big glass of milk. Cobblers are one of my favorite deserts.
  • @beealll3475
    Perfect cobbler every time! Cup.ah Cup.ah Cup.ah is what my family has always called easy cobbler😊

    So happy for you that you finally got your cornbread to turn out exactly the way you like it. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! 😊

    My childhood was in south MS. My teenage years, 14-18, was in Sevierville TN. I loved TN so much. Food wise, I had the best. Southern cooking and home cooking. Yum
  • When I was growing up we ate a lot of backbone, and it was boiled with pepper and salt.I loved it even as a kid, haven’t had any for years but I am going to soon, thanks to you reminding me of a southern delicacy.

    My mother has always fixed boiled meat, I grew up eating it. Your meal looks delicious, and that cornbread looks so good. 😋
  • Hi from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 everything looked delicious I do like cornbread
  • @cassiedawnlala
    CONGRATULATIONS ON FINDING THE BEST CORNBREAD FOR YOU!!!!! As a cornbread fanatic I am very excited for you and for me too! Cuz you can bet I will be making us some. Yummy yummy I just found your channel today and I have been binge watching. I saw all 3 cornbreads and this looked the best to me. I really admire the relationship y'all have with your children. They seem to be confident in themselves and in your love for them. That is so beautiful to see. God bless you all ❤

    Watching you go down into your "grocery store" brought tears to my eyes. Just like my grandmas house. No fancy metal shelves with thousands of dollars spent to store your home canned food. First time ive seen your videos, we absolutely love Appalachia region, we were visiting north of Knoxville in Norris, TN for a year and a half. Spent summers there. We absolutely loved it!!! New subscriber! ❤
  • @MrBearbait75
    Grew up on October beans. Now I know where I can get some! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! Your meal looked just like one I grew up on! We ate just like you cook. Blessing
  • @rustymchale806
    I just found your channel & I’m lovin you and the way you cook. Keep up with your southern way of cooking.😅
  • It’s so nice to see someone cooking the old fashioned way. Most people that become known usually get above the their raising. I love ur channel, I’m from South Carolina and u cook the way I was taught to cook, not with fancy ingredients not fancy utensils and pots, I just came upon ur cooking channel yesterday and I’ve watched a lot. Really enjoyed it.
