Collard Greens

I love me some collard greens. But the thought of making them scares me. They have to be just right. Not mushy. Not gritty or dirty. They gotta have FLAVA. Well…this recipe is the one right here. But like everyone has warned me, I’ll warn you…wash those greens. Not once but twice. Seriously.
