Kale and I have a history of misunderstandings.
In fact, it wasn’t until we moved to Dallas that I cooked kale at home. I’d tried kale at restaurants, and it wasn’t my favorite, so I never attempted to make it on my own… and then we joined a CSA.
With our CSA that fall and winter, we received bunches upon bunches of collards, mustard greens and kale. I, obviously, had no idea what to do with them, but that quickly changed since we had so many that needed to be consumed.
According to Southern lore, eating greens on New Year’s Day will bring you good luck in the new year… and maybe a bit extra cash, too.
Because New Year’s Day is happening this week and because I’m a sucker for traditions like this, I’ve made my favorite recipe for collard greens.

We have a recipe tradition at my mom’s house. Every year for at least the last 15 years, she makes this dish at Christmas time. It was made as a random side dish and it was loved so much, that my mom has made it every year since. I even have friends request the dish by name and she will even make it for them when they come to visit during the year.
My mom makes AMAZING peanut butter balls every holiday season. I request them as much as I can even when it’s not the Holidays. But, boy, do they do a number on the calories. So I took it upon myself to figure out a low carb version
