Oven-Fried Chicken

Cheesy Grits

Follow the directions on the back of the box for cheese grits.

Sauteed Bacon and Collard Greens

In a large skillet, cook diced bacon until crisp; remove from pan. Cook a package of frozen collard or kale greens according to package directions. Stir cooked bacon into cooked greens.
