[@Msjolieee]

If I lived with you I would weigh 500lbs because I can see that you are an excellent cook and everything looks so yummy. I have watched many of your videos and you are an expert cook and actually a chef and cook all the things I love to eat. God bless you and thank you for teaching me so much about all the different dishes that you prepare.

[@wesgriffin6081]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 me too !!!

[@shayeverest8872]

I tried this recipe…OMG my family loved them!!! Now they are requesting them for Easter!

[@karenstark9450]

Yummmmm! Good to know about Liquid Smoke- that’s a new addition for me. I love onion & garlic too. Recently I started adding a chopped onion, sautéed in an iron skillet with a little butter, at the end of cooking my greens. My grandma taught me to “ put a lil sugar & salt in everything”. I also found a Ham-based Better than Bullion for those who don’t have pork restrictions. I use it & the chicken. Thank you for your hard work & easy to understand directions!

I'm About To Call U Auntie. That's How We Roll When A Good Cook In Kitchen.

[@sundayschoolteacher6387]

Was happy to see that you freeze your greens.... my sisters don't. I had cooked some collards one year, and it snowed, that was too much work to throw them away, so I froze them and months later when I saw them in the freezer, I heated them up... and tasted them and started crying.... because they were going to be gone. Now, I freeze them all the time.

[@micheledeun1048]

This is how I make my greens as well

[@evelynparker1959]

I'm glad you wash your hands after checking your phone. People have no idea how dirty our cell phons are.

[@kathybend797]

I also usually host the holiday gatherings at my home, so l do most of the cooking. Thanks for sharing helpful tips and suggestions.

Everything she makes has onion and garlic powder in it, and I approve.

Hi Miss Donna good night this is Jenifer the no great American cook. Thank you soooooo much for this Collard green recipe. I have never heard or seen that leafy vegetable growing up in my country. when I came to this country years ago the only thing I heard about it is that it was bitter. I have never eaten it or tried to cook. Last Monday a friend who does organic gardening gave me a bundle and told me to go home and cook it .I protested telling he I didn't know what to do with it. I left it in the fridge until friday. Not wanting it to spoil and be thrown away I went on KZbin put your name in with how to cook collard greens. Thank you Thank you Thank you it was a hit. My husband is enjoying every bit of it. You are a wonderful teacher and I am officially calling you my big sister. I love you sis thanks again for all your help. Please say hi to Dude # 1.

[@bobbietaylor7655]

I love live collard greens cleaning not so much, but if they aren't cleaning GOOD eating grit is a bust. I like to use pork but now I have family friends that don't eat pork so I use smoked turkey legs or wings. I just learned in 2023 that you are a pastors wife which I wasn't too surprised cause you indeed have such a sweet presence. I enjoy watching you in the kitchen and do like when its time for your hubby to taste n eat 😀

[@patriciacavanaugh2223]

Turkey, collard greens, sweet potato pie, cast iron skillet cornbread ...and Donna's carrot cake for dessert. It doesn't get any better than that~~~~~

[@Judy-pq7sy]

I love collard greens. That was my dad’s favorite thing to eat.

[@Happinessisanillusion]

Everybody cook their Collard Greens different 😀. I use diced green/ red bell peppers, Smoked turkey legs/ wings, diced onions, sea salt a little, black pepper and Wiley's Eat Your Greens Seasoning. I add this about 10 mins before Collards are done. Delicious 😋😋👍💯.Ms. Donna I will try your recipe also. Like to try different recipes.

Turkey legs (Smoked) at the bottom of the pot cook for about 2 hours. Add collards and seasonings 2 hours maybe 2 1/2 hours. Total cooking time. 4 1/2 hours. Long time cooking. Thank you for the recipe and the time. I can smell them cooking now.

I've only had homemade collard greens once, but they were so delicious that I would like to try to make them. I think I can follow what you did here. Maybe I can find some greens that are pre washed since I have no idea how to clean them. I would not try to make them on Thanksgiving unless that was all that we were eating since they look like a lot of work. But I know that a lot of work equals something wonderful and yours looks wonderful. I learn something new with every one of your videos. Thank you for sharing these amazing videos.
