    ROFL @ Issac! My toddler is the SAME way! Anything she wants she repeats. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. Milk, Milk, Milk. TV, TV, TV. And now she loves to: Write, Write, Write. Girl, I have to do my grocery list on my cell phone cause when she sees me with a pen and a piece of paper it’s OVER! lol (So busy rambling that I forgot to tell you that I’m trying these greens tonight with some chicken, mac&cheese, and candied yams!) *drooling*

    @DocB3Fuzz That’s exactly how we cook them in East Texas (also add sugar)..and we’ve competed and won in the Collard Green Festival for the past four years.

    Aunt Inez (great aunt old school) used ham hocks, bacon fat, garlic, red peppers (not too many) and skipped that “drying process”. She like to use “mixed greens” which was the bomb: kale, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, all fresh from her garden that I grew for her.

    Isaac is a doll! LOL A budding food critic. And you’re right it’s very important to get all the grit off fresh collards. Collards are not typically a get-off-work-and-put-them-on type food because you can’t rush them. They do take a couple hours, but they are well worth it for the weekend!

  19. mkcjonise85 says:

  20. latoyacrazy305 says:

  23. Bandanabandito1 says:

    Delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe!

  24. Pimpmastahanhduece says:

    heres a trick, after wetting the leaves thoroughly, i put it flat against a cutting board and scrub a few times with a corn brush. collard greens is too tough uncooked to be torn up by a corn brush, but will loosen ALL the grit and grime. one more rinse and its good.
