Our Favorite Holiday Recipe… Nothing brings people together quite like the warmth of the kitchen during the holidays. One dish that’s been a staple in our home during this season is Southern Collard Greens. This recipe, passed down through generations, has become more than just a family favorite; it’s a symbol of the laughter, stories, and moments we’ve shared around the table. I hope this recipe brings a little of that same warmth and togetherness to your home this holiday season.
