Thirty tricks. One can of greens, one box of cornbread mix, one tube of biscuits, and one of those hot chickens spinning behind the glass at the grocery store. In this video I walk you through every one of them, in the order I cook them, the way my mama and her mama did it. In this video: ✓ Rinse the can out under running water ✓ A pinch of brown sugar for the bitter edge ✓ One shake of Cajun seasoning does three jobs ✓ Simmer them in a dark beer ✓ A squeeze of lemon right at the end ✓ Fold shredded cheese through the batter ✓ Bake it in a muffin tin when company comes ✓ Fill the cavity before you warm it None of this was ever a secret. It just never made it onto a page, because the women who knew it were too busy cooking to write it down. Cook one of these tonight the way somebody showed you. Then tell me in the comments whose kitchen you learned it in, what county, and what it smelled like when it was right. I read every one of them. Stay close to the stove. And remember, the women who fed this country out of one pot knew things we are only just starting to remember. # SoulFood #SouthernCooking #BlackGrandmothers #MississippiDelta #CastIron #CheapMeals #OldWays #HomeCooking #OdessaMae
