kickin' collards
(1 rating)
As a youngster, I couldn't bear the thought of eating green leafy vegetables, especially collard greens. I would rather have a tooth pulled out. But my daughter in law whipped up a batch that smelled scrumptious, and the first time I tried them I was hooked. She was an incredible cook, and later went on to become a chef at Disney World. She shared her secret with me and to this day everyone that has tried them can't get enough.
