Cornmeal Pie

Submitted by Tricia Foley

"This is from a cookbook I received in an exchange a while back. It's a compilation of recipes from the family's of the Aaron Parker Elementary School. Most of the recipes are very simple, that is why I like them. I am posting this so that I do not lose it. I like some of these old fashioned recipes, this sounds like it would be interesting."

@triciafoley I think I may be the one who submitted this recipe to the cookbook you mentioned! What are the odds?! It's a family recipe that goes back more generations than I know. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I would love to know if you still have the cookbook?
