Happy Tasty Tuesday

  

Thank you to our 

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

A few more favorite foods for the holidays

3 pounds of Christmas Collards
They are washed thoroughly, bunches cut into halves
While this step is taking place
a large pot of hot water, oil, salt, pepper and pieces of bacon are starting to boil.  Christmas Collards are placed in the water. They cook about 45 minutes.
I realize collards are an acquired taste and many don't like the lovely aroma they put off when cooking.  I was raised on them.  Their aroma tickles my nose and makes me happy 
and my mouth water.

  6. We hear about them all the time, but have never had them. Mom is quite picky, so they wouldn't be for her but you enjoy. It's fun to have foods that bring you good memories.

  9. I have never had collard greens. As a rule I find very dark greens too bitter so probably wouldn't like them.

  11. Collard Greens are one of the super super good foods for humans. We cats on the other hand don't think we can eat them. Mom is going to try making them and thanks you for the recipe. We will let you know if our mouths watered from the smell. Purrs and Merry Christmas from The Ts.

  15. We use a smoked turkey leg and some onions and a few red pepper flakes to cook collard greens in. I hope to make some at New Year along with some BBQ ribs. Yummy!

  16. I have to take your word on the collards. I've eaten loads of different things from around the world but I've never had the opportunity to try collards. They sound delishious!
