Collard Greens: The produce section of your supermarket should have greens. Wash them well, cut the bottoms off, chop the leaves up, put them in a pot and fill water to just the top of the leaves. Bring to a boil, simmer until tender. Drain, salt, butter and a little vinegar.

Banana Pudding: Layer vanilla wafers, bananas and vanilla pudding. You can use the instant kind. Put this in three layers and refridge for a few hours.

Iced Tea: use four small tea bags or two large bags, put them in your coffee pot filter, fill the pot with water, let brew. Add one cup of sugar and stir. Put into a 2 quart pitcher and fill the rest with water. Refridge imm. Serve over ice.

Good luck!

Peach Cobbler:
1 large can of Peaches
1 stick of butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 box of pie crust mix - follow the directions to make the pie crust
Mix peaches and other ingredients in a large dutch oven pot, and bring to a boil.
Pour ingredients into a large casserole dish.
Roll the pie crust into 1 whole sheet to cover the dish, or
cut it into strips and place over the peach mixture. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook until golden brown approximately 1 hour.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Fried Cabbage:
2 head of cabbage
6 slices salt pork (about 1 to 2 inches in length)
Bacon Drippings--1/2 to 1/3 cup
2 small onions
1/2 large green bell pepper
red pepper flakes (to taste)
salt
pepper
Put about 1/2 inch of water in a large pot, place the salt pork and red pepper flakes in the pot and simmer slowly about 15 minutes. When the water begins to evaporate pour about 1/4 cup bacon drippings in pot. Slice the onions and bell peppers in thin strips and place in the drippings. Remove the outside green leafs from the cabbage heads, rinse and lay them in a pile together on top of one another. Slice the leafs in coleslaw type strips and place in the simmering bacon drippings and cook until they begin to wilt and soften. Cut the rest of the cabbage head in half and slice the same way as the outside leafs. Rinse and place in the pot after the large leafs have begun to cook. Cook for 1/2 hour or to your preference for doneness. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beans

Prep: 5 min., Cook: 1 hr. This recipe is perfect for leftover barbecue. Although it calls for pork, feel free to use chopped or shredded chicken, turkey, or brisket. If time is a concern, pick up meat from your favorite barbecue joint (just make sure you get it without sauce to prevent the beans from being too soupy).

1/2 pound chopped or shredded barbecue pork
1 (32-ounce) can pork and beans, undrained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions, drained
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon molasses (optional)

Stir together first 6 ingredients, and, if desired, molasses in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook at HIGH 1 hour. (You can keep this recipe warm on LOW for up to 2 hours before serving.) Yield: Makes 8 servings
