Servings: persons

1 (12 ounce) bag frozen collard greens
1 ham bouillon cube, optional
1 (6 1/2 ounce) box betty crocker golden corn muffin mix
1 large sweet potato
1 package lean cuisine macaroni and cheese mix
sweet tea
brummel & brown margarine spread
1 (12 ounce) package stouffer's harvest frozen apples
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (no substitutes)
vanilla ice cream (Haagen-Dazs is best!)

1
Prepare greens according to package directions, using ham bouillon if desired.
2
Prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions, I like to use to lower fat Brummel& Brown spread instead of butter or margarine.
3
Bake in small round pan and cut in wedges, or bake in bread pan and cut into corn sticks.
4
Wash sweet potato, pierce with fork, wrap in paper towel and microwave until tender, 4-6 minutes.
5
Microwave macaroni and cheese until done.
6
(You can do this when the sweet potato is 1/2 way through cooking so the potato does not heat too fast.) In a small bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon.
7
Set aside.
8
Microwave apples until slightly thawed, place in small baking dish.
9
Combine butter and flour mixture, crumble over apples.
10
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
11
Meanwhile, serve 1/2 sweet potato with a side of greens, 1/2 package macaroni and cheese, and slice of cornbread.
12
Don't forget a large glass of sweet tea!
13
Later, serve warm cinnamon apple dessert with ice cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
