Collard greens are a great way to start out the New Year because they’re both healthy and delicious. They are packed full of Vitamin A, calcium, iron, manganese, fiber and omega-three fatty acids! Collard greens also contain chemicals known as glucosinolates which aid in blocking cancer-causing substances from entering your cells. This dish is easy to make ahead of time so you can have it ready for when friends come over or even better eat them all by yourself without sharing with anyone else!! Now, let’s get cooking!
