A Southern Staple

Collards are a staple of Southern Cooking! 

If you're Southern by the Grace of God you know that not only is it a religion to have collards every New Years Day, along with black eyed peas and cornbread, but it's perfect for a Sunday supper too! Sundays are my families favorite day. It's always a relaxing day ended with a southern comfort meal. Today the sweet, smoked smell of Pork Butt is swarming the outside of the house (and seeping through...mmmm). Soon we'll be sitting down to eat BBQ pork, collards, mac n cheese, fresh corn on the cob, conch peas and of course that sweet cornbread we use to slop up that good 'pot liquor' from the collards and conch peas.....washed down with a glass of sweet tea. Mmmm, don't get much better than that! Except probably topping it all off will be my Maw Maw's wonderful recipe for Chocolate sheet cake!!
