New Year's Day - Southern skillet buttermilk cornbread

Every New Year’s Day, Mama Mitchell would invite us to her home in Hueytown, AL, and made sure we ate our collard greens, cornbread and blackeyed peas.  My mom still has the cast iron pot that Mama Mitchell would cook her collards in and I used it last year when home for the holidays! Today, I am back in Arizona and sharing with you a delicious cornbread recipe that is perfect any time of the year!
