I'm really not much for cooked collard greens or cabbage, but then, I didn't make this for me! Rather it was fixed for a housebound neighbor couple for whom I often cook, & they loved it! Definitely a very satisfying comfort food during the last few cold days of winter around here! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
