Hmmm, Interesting

I decided to try a new veg tonight - collard greens. I bought a big bag of it at the grocery store and it's been sitting in my fridge because I have no earthly clue what to do with it! I know that traditional southern preparation of this green is VERY high in fat, so I figured there would be a better way to cook it. I ended up using an adapted version of the recipe on the bag which called for boiling it with smoked turkey legs which I was not doing. So I boiled it with chicken stock, drained some off , added 1 tsp. sugar and 1 tbsp. cider vinegar. It was, um ...interesting. I really love all green vegetables, but I cannot add this to my favorites list. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't ..."oooh, I can't wait to eat collards"!!! I'm sure it would be MUCH more fabulous made with the smoked turkey or bacon fat as they do in the south -duh! Along with the collards, I had some leftover chicken from my birthday-my mom's awesome Chicken with Proscuitto and Fontina. I also made "garlic bread" from an Arnold Sandwich Thin sprayed with ICBINB. Good stuff...





No big dessert tonight. Just had 2 Cafe Twists which are super sweet and low Point...

Have a great night!!!
