Kickin' Vegetarian Collard Greens Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Kickin' Vegetarian Collard Greens Recipe).

Since leaving the South, where I grew up, for the Pacific NW, I've begun a tradition of hosting an open house-style brunch on New Year's day and this is my go-to recipe for this fun occasion.
