I have had my Daddy on my mind all day. He always liked dried butter beans, corn bread, and collard greens. I never liked collard greens, but my husband does. So I went all out today and made a meal fit for a king. A king that lives in the South, that is. A king that is called hubby or Daddy. I have to admit, I didn't cook the meat. Kroger had a sale on ribs that were already cooked. It was such a good deal, I couldn't pass them up. Here's what dinner looked like.
Hubby claims the collard greens were the best yet. I was willing to take his opinion for it. The thought of putting that grass-like substance in my mouth was revolting. GAG! Here is what I did when I cooked them.
Collard Greens
1 package frozen collard greens
Enough water to cover the greens
1/2 package of ham seasoning
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tb. butter
Mix all together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about an hour.
I did enjoy the ribs, cornbread, and butter beans. And I thought of my Daddy with every bite I took. This one was for you Daddy! You would have loved it.
