If you're one to think automatic "Yuck," It used to be, I couldn't stand the thought, the smell or the sight of collard greens. I can't believe how much I love them now! My Dave makes an awesome stock pot full of them. Wow.
Anyone tried these for a snack? They have loads of NATURAL potassium, magnesium and a cup also has 4 grams of protein! Perfect mid afternnon and mid evening snack, at least for me. :)

I cooked up the collards and then asked about those mustard greens afterward. Mom said "they are sooooo good for you" and my hunny laughed and said if I just mixed them in with the others, I wouldn't even notice the difference, lol. So, I'm going to get some more collards and mix those in. We'll see what happens.
I've been so proud of myself. I actually made my own collard greens twice now. I'd never have thought that I'd be making collard greens. Wow. Now I'm hooked. Whenever I feel hungry, I can grab a bowl of those and amnot hurting my diet at all. (I don't use a pound of bacon or anything like that. I used low sodium beef broth and some of the beef drippings from our roast.)
