I could eat Thanksgiving food all year round…well, most of it! I know collard greens are normally a BBQ side dish, but I love them for Thanksgiving, too. While they can be made so many ways, I’m partial to this recipe. Not only does the Kettle & Fire broth add flavor and extra nutrients, but it’s my spin on my mom’s recipe that I grew up on!
