Okay – I did it! For our Mardi Gras dinner, I made the collard greens and used the Diet,Desserts,and Dogs recipe. Thank you for that!! The only thing I did not add was the lemon juice (didn’t have any).

The recipe was quick and easy. Overall, I am not totally sold on the collards, they were chewier than I was expecting – but the flavor was quite good in this dish, and the apples were a nice touch. I used a more tart apple, so I don’t think I missed the lemon juice. The other people who tried the greens also thought they were good. So – yay for me! However, I don’t think I will buy them again just for me to eat.

Finished greens (along with crawfish pie and shrimp & grits):
