How’d it Taste?

  • Rhonda W says:

    I made these at an Old ways class at my local grocery store and I loved it then. I came across the book and made them tonight, delicious quick and easy.

  • Zazie Hendrix says:

    It was really good! The only suggestion I would make is that I instead used half an onion, cause it was a lot compared to the ratio of 1 bunch of collard greens. Other than that I loved it!
