[TotallyTyra]

ROFL @ Issac! My toddler is the SAME way! Anything she wants she repeats. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. Milk, Milk, Milk. TV, TV, TV. And now she loves to: Write, Write, Write. Girl, I have to do my grocery list on my cell phone cause when she sees me with a pen and a piece of paper it's OVER! lol (So busy rambling that I forgot to tell you that I'm trying these greens tonight with some chicken, mac&cheese, and candied yams!) *drooling*

[ladytraveler]

[Blackwater200]

You just don't see a young sexy black woman doing home cooking any more....she is a badass wife, I want to marry her. Today's young woman want go out and eat, and do lazy stuff.

[nashawn973]

dats wat type of women i want not a hood rat dat kno how 2 cook jus hotdogs n other frozen bullshyt!!

[DocB3Fuzz]

Aunt Inez (great aunt old school) used ham hocks, bacon fat, garlic, red peppers (not too many) and skipped that "drying process". She like to use "mixed greens" which was the bomb: kale, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, all fresh from her garden that I grew for her.

[annettemint]

@DocB3Fuzz That's exactly how we cook them in East Texas (also add sugar)..and we've competed and won in the Collard Green Festival for the past four years.

[kekedj214]

LOL my son does that same thing , Mommy mommy mommy LMAO classic.

[MsTravelQueen]

love ur vids is ur son mixed btw?cutie!:)will def do this recipe I use ham hocks so for health reasons will try the turkey legs yummy!

[IrisMG]

Isaac is a doll! LOL A budding food critic. And you're right it's very important to get all the grit off fresh collards. Collards are not typically a get-off-work-and-put-them-on type food because you can't rush them. They do take a couple hours, but they are well worth it for the weekend!

[mkcjonise85]

Nice job with the green and your such a cute mom lol baby wants to assist.

[latoyacrazy305]

Your greens look yummie, I hope I can do them the same way one day.

[mizdutchessful]

luv the video ur lil boy iz to funny lol an cute

[CowboyBebop444]

i eat collard greens all the time, but i eate the canned ones, so i didnt know fresh ones were that big...damn

[Bandanabandito1]

Delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe!

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

heres a trick, after wetting the leaves thoroughly, i put it flat against a cutting board and scrub a few times with a corn brush. collard greens is too tough uncooked to be torn up by a corn brush, but will loosen ALL the grit and grime. one more rinse and its good.

[killuhmike99]

LOLOL mom mom mommy mommy mommy mah mah mom mommy, what!... hi!!

[sillywabbit0]

what other dish do you serve collard greens with?

[thesunwillshineonme]

lol at you and your son remind me of my kids

[wondermom07]

Your son is too cute. At 3:13 did he say collard greens? LOL

[mariahclass2010]

thiss is great i can't wait to make them... i'm mexican lol but i have a friend thatz have phillipino n half african american and she brought some for lunch one time and let me taste them because ive alwayz wanted to because on the movie beauty shop they said it gives you a butt lol which i need lol but anywayz i tasted them and they were really really good so ive always wanted to find out how to make them thankss=]

[dafutureiznow32]

dem look good. i use ham hocks n mine. how much different is da turkey leg from da hocks???

[motherofanactress]

Thanks for sharing... it looks easy... will try

[Powerules]

I' always add vinegar right before putting the greens in the pot. Do you recommend waiting until the last quarter of cooking? And if so, why?

[charmedcasanova]

I love Collard greens I use to eat them in Virginia thanks for the up load

[Kemster79]

We can't get collard greens in England. What would be the closest alternative?

[NCfoodie]

@Kemster79 Turnip greens are awesome too. Prepare them the same way.

[MrLouieLove]

@Kemster79 that's funny in Spain in Galicia they have a soup made out of greens called ACELGA. many times the Cubans use the Chinese Bok Choy, it looks exactly like the collards except the stem and bottom of veggie is white and the leaves green. The Yoruba Lukumi religion makes this dish called OCHINCHIN for the goddess of love OSHUN who's my guardian angel and we use BOK CHOY. some folks use WATERCRESS others use SPINACH..I KNOW YOU GOT THEM IN ENGLAND..LOL

[sweetbaby1981]

hahahahaha

mami, mami,

what....!

haaai

hahahahahahaa love that

[xXKiMaStayzFliixX]

the way u was holdin that turkey it looked nasty lol but the greens look good

[MsLadyFreak]

[Kellye66]

Tried your recipe this afternoon. PERFECT, as Judge Judy would say. I am an American living in Canada, and nobody I know cooks the Southern Way, except for my Mother from Alabama. Thought it was time I tried.....and let me tellya Chick.......these greens were TALKIN'.

You're the best. The VERY best.

Thank you again.

Kellye

[remielmasloco]

[MattyMatt761]

good lawd you are frikkin' gorgeous! i'm going to eat collard greens once a month while re-watching this vid.

[Carmel0596]

that looks good I am going to try your method today thanks and Happy Mommy's Day

[igottaknow]

Dam girl you're one hot mami. Anyways thanks for the recipe and your kid is cute too, you got lots of patients. I had collard greens today for the first time, I liked them so much I'm going to make them for my mom for mothers day.

[wheresjesus]

being from louisiana, you'd think i would have had tried to make this by now (i'm 27!) i have always been intimidated by the long process of cooking collard greens, but after watching your video-4 times over the course of a month-i went for it. i even washed each leaf individually! and wow, they turned out amazing. thank you for teaching this southern gal how to cook AMAZING collard greens!

[glamcam23]

Thanks 4 this video, it's such a joy 2 have help with a meal, i'am a young 25 yr old w/ 1 child and a fiance (childs father) I want to provide healthy strong meals like this, i have all my products, some tell me to add ham hock, but the turkey wings looks scrumches..

[sparklez07]

I just made these. They came out very good.

[DestinyRae]

[DestinyRae]

[DestinyRae]

have you ever tried them with bacon or fatback?

[mbigboyny]

looks good...i usually put smoked neckbones in mine....but i used some smoked turkey necks before and the meat just fell off the bone. now i want some greens this video made me so hungry.

[sillywabbit0]

Omg SO GOOD!!! Thank you!

[watzfalunch]

mommy mommy mommy yes baaaaby

[divascancook]

Thanks so much guys!!!

[Archangel3127]

@divascancook Looks really good . Ha ha change en those diapers.

[jsmitty227]

This looks so good. Imma try this tomorrow. I don't like onions too much, though. Anything I can substitute for them?

[divascancook]

You can just leave them out. They will still be delish. I sometimes just make them with just the chicken broth and red pepper and they still come out great.

[paranoidboytoy]

and your sons too

[paranoidboytoy]

8:10 i wouldn't mind drinking your broth baby

[londonlass100]

Thank you for the recipe. OMG, the collards are so good. Your son is adorable!

[Titifierce]

This recipe is the bomb gurl... Thank you so much! my bf loved it!

[chrismaloy]

Great vid. Very cute you are.

[OkeeHadjo]

You know, I've never used olive oil and onion and garlic... or even tried it like that. Us old folks still use smoked ham hock simmered for about 3 hours and then goes in your collards, Some salt and a dash of vinegar and that's it. I have a patch of collards that produce all winter and some mustards.

I wouldn't mind trying it fancy and northern city style like this every once in a while but I am shocked at how much that olive oil costs.

[mrshunter33]

I love your son!!!! He sounds too cute:) But really love the video. I use collards very once in a while. I love a mixture of mustard and kale with thecollards.

[boojado]

I'm distracted by your beauty ! ...What Collards?

[KellyNakiS]

aw ur lil son z so da cutest hehe...

[hiddenjewel7]

Thanks for the collard greens recipe, I tried it on Kale greens and it is really tasty! Also, hats off to your junior chef, lol

[stardust312]

i thought you had to put tons of butter in it. ? Can i put butter in it?

[stardust312]

can you put butter in it at all?? im new at this. lol

[mekaziona]

That looks good. I'm gonna try your recipe. I like my mamas recipe but I'm going to try yours. My husband loves greens so I know he will enjoy your recipe. Thank you for the videos. God bless:)

[MzGreenEyes89]

Lol for some reason I like eatin the stems.. Anyways my family likes to fry up some pancetta instead of usin the turkey leg.. But ima try it ur way too =)

[divascancook]

wow, what do the stems taste like? I hear they are bitter

[GringoESantoDomingo]

mmm how nice it would be to have a beautiful black woman in the kitchin cookin me some collard greens =_=

thanks for the video

[TNPATL]

thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I made this recipe on Saturday and it was PERFECT!!!! I plan to make them this way from now on.

[divascancook]

I'm thrilled you liked them!!

[CremeBurlee1]

thank you soo much for this recipe, i made it exactly like you and its taste just like my mom used to make. I''ve been looking for the perfect way to cook greens and i finally found it... Everyone needs to cook their greens this way...Very very tasty..

[divascancook]

That is awesome! I'm glad you liked the recipe!

[magicpony9]

Your son is adorable:)

[divascancook]

Thank you!!

[bilpayne]

last i cooked i used what was left from a prime rib roast in them they turned out good

[Shawn510]

How did you make the smoked turkey leg??

[divascancook]

I purchased the smoked turkey leg already cooked and smoked

[chelpete007]

I was told today by a southern black woman (I'm white lol) that smoked turkey legs are better/healthier than smoked ham hocks, and I tried them with your recipe, FABULOUS!!! I still cut the stems with the knife though...LoL! Great video, reminds me alot of how my 2 1/2 year old is when I'm tryin to cook!

[CaptainServeALot]

kids are too funny

[j3nstar]

I used your delicious recipe twice now and will continue to do so! Thanks a Million! Greens are my husband's favorite so I wanted to learn how his grandma makes them (from scratch). They definitely taste better than the seasoned greens in the can and healthier for you. Plus, I enjoy removing the stems. :) BTW, adorable son! Love the name Isaac! Keep the videos coming!

[divascancook]

hahaha I thought I was the only one who enjoyed removing the stems. There is something strangely therapeutic about it lol

[islandcancer123]

u save my life! my man ask for greens and i dont know how to do it(didnt let him know it of croush) thanks to u! lol:)

[divascancook]

lol you pulled it off well girl! Never let'em know

[ms2076]

Can u cook cabbage the same way?

[MsCrow101]

thank you this is my first time making a thanks giving dinner im gonna follow your recipe faithfully.!!!!! ( i forgot all about the greens)

[witnasious]

That was too cute! Going to try for thanks giving...watched it twice just because it was funny.

[Candeebutterfly0401]

my father call that turkey juice "pot liquior" lol.. look very good

[1btuber]

First of all, your video was the most beautiful and funniest cooking video that I have every viewed. To see a young black woman cooking, wow! lol. Seeing that big ass turkey leg not fit into the pot was too funny. And hearing the interaction with your son was priceless. Yes, I will be trying your recipe. I am still laughing, but your video recipe looks worth trying.

[thickwithapassion]

My grandmother saves the leftover juice from the greens so that the next time she makes some, all she has to do is add the greens!

[divascancook]

Thanks so much guys!!! I love reading these comments!

lol@bigsammieking You better work it out! Women love men who can throw down in the kitchen!

ZoeyAbena that menu sounds sooo good right now!

Abake733 yeah girl the juice is too good right lol

lol@preciouswon I hate getting recipes from my grandmother because she always says "just put a few shakes of this and a lil bit of that" lol she never measures anything.

[bigsammieking]

YES MAM !!! How do you feel about hard working long haired chunky white guys who can cook too ?

LOL nice post !!

[PreciousWon]

I love your videos. I feel bad, I should have been taking these lessons from my grandmother and still from my mom. BUT, I dont live at home anymore and they work too fast...lol. Thank you for the video! I can't wait for more.

[porn1978]

When ur baby hit the teens,she not gonna come nowhere near the kitchen lol.

[Geebanga718]

Thanks for the recipe..!

[ZoeyAbena08]
