Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mom always made succotash for holiday dinners and I loved it. Of course, it was made with frozen homegrown corn and lima beans. To keep up the tradition, I have made succotash for my family just as mom made it. Basically, corn, lima beans, bacon grease, salt and pepper. Turns out I was the only one who enjoyed it. Recently, I found an updated recipe that puts a little spin on the traditional version. I tried it out on friends and they loved it. Hope you like it too.
