This is my more traditional version. It happens to be low-carb.

Collard greens are a part of life here in Florida. Usually served with a favorite hot sauce of some type.

This is the same method to do grape leaves preserving.

Mustard greens are filled with nutrients and vitamins ,specifically vitamin A and K. Just one cup of cooked mustard greens will provide you with 96% of you DV of vitamin A and 690% of your DV of vitamin K (wow!)Vitamin K support bone health and blood clotting, while vitamin A is essential for vision health, white blood cell function and production, fetal development during pregnancy, healthy cell division specifically in skin, lungs and intestines, among many other health benefits.Although raw mustard greens have a tough texture and spicy flavor, cooking them softens them up and removes their pungent taste.Eat your greens!#CA2025

This is one of my favorite rice helping dishes. My mother in law is turning 90 in 2017. So I thought I should learn how to make this dish so I can carry on the tradition we have had . Since 1972.

An awesome dish by Native Americans. Living off beans and rice, has been the way of life since man was created. Probably will still be here long after we have departed. There is carbs in beans, onions, and corn. There isn't no fat a lot of people use lard to add to their beans. This prevents malnutrition and malnourishment. 20% of our diet has to be fat of some type or we can die. So this is why I added olive oil and duck fat. Back in the day it was near grease, I don't have any.

It's a Southern thang!!!... My momma was from the South so theirs just some things every southern girl needs to know!... This and tea! 😊.. Also time on this totally depends on the tenderness of the collards you prefer .. Don't b afraid to taste test things as go

This is my variation on a recipe I found from Tyler Florence on Food Network. He uses a ham hock but I prefer bacon. Easier to find and much tastier.

I made this very hot. Took my breath away lol!

Just some good cooking

This is a Family Staple. Coming from a very Southern Family this is something that we have always ate. Comfort food is always a cheer me up. My comfort food is Collard Greens. This is how I make mine.
