Corn Fritters and Collard Greens...

I kept getting the age old question.."Whats for dinner"...  I hear it a hundred times a day. I have never been one to plan out meals, I have tried, but it has never taken hold with me...why I don't know. I guess I am a spontaneous kind of girl.

So, last night I decided to cook something truely southern.
I used to spend my summers up in a little town called Easley, SC. My grandmother would make the most delicious corn fritters known to man. Her fried chicken and mac and cheese wasnt bad either, but there was just something about a stack of her fritters slathered with butter..I feel my arteries clogging as I type this....lol
 When I told the boys about them, they thought the idea of corn in a pancakes was super cool. So, I mixed some up.

 The boys thought this corn fritter came out looking like a bad "bigfoot" print..lol

 Then threw on some home grown collards, and took out some fresh smoked sausauges. hmmmmmmm  To add to the mix, I fried senior up some okra..And of course it was all topped off with sweet ice tea.  Can't go wrong with some good refreshing ice tea on a hot summer day. That also brings back the childhood memories, my grandmothers ice tea was so sweet, we always swore that woman must have put 5lbs of sugar in it. In the evening we would sit together on her porch swing, or chase lighening bugs, and sip on her good tea.

The last batch of my collards I grew over last winter.. hmmmm

So, now here we are its 11am On Sunday and again it all starts over..."Whats for dinner" ???????   : )
