Three years ago, I remember reading an article about how Elaine Welteroth met her husband Jonathan Singletary.

For me, summer school started this week and I did not get to try a new recipe. I did make a pot of greens, mixing collards and kale. Years ago, when I discovered Wylie’s Eat Your Greens, I stopped using meat to season greens. Now when I cook greens, I sauté onions and garlic in olive oil.

Then I cut them in wide chiffonade and add them to the pot with whatever broth I have on hand along with the Wylie’s seasoning and pepper. Cooking greens requires using your intuition.

Finally, this week MD commences the re-opening process, i’m taking baby steps, going FaithForward, Prayers Staying Up
