I am making my second pot of collards. They were amazing the first time, so I'm making them again now. Best I've ever made and tasted. Thank you!❤ I will keep watching for more great recipes.

Grandma hands. I enjoyed her demeanor more than the recipe. She's the last of a dying breed of nurturing strong intelligent loving. Strong Black women. The nucleus of the. Family. Teaching life lessons for generations to come. I love her

When she pulled out that jar of bacon grease I knew I had to subscribe! 🤣

This lady is such a gem! My first time watching and I don’t know if I want food, a hug, or just her conversations 😂😫 Just seems so genuine and warm.

When she began to measure her seasoning in her palm of hand I knew Yep don’t question her skills she knows what she doin Southern Granny!!! Xoxo we love you 😘

My Mammaw was born in 1912. She's the one who taught me to cook. Raised her children during the Great Depression. She told me to always put some sort of meat into my greens or collards so that everyone would get a little bit more protein through the broth it made. Back in her day, Dad got the main portion of meat so he could work better. By the time the baby was served there usually wasn't much, if any meat left. Cooking with bacon, ham, etc. helped to get the children more protein, vitamins, & minerals. I still cook this same way to this day. 2023

I started cooking at a very young age. I couldn't even reach the top of the stove without standing in a chair. I watched my grandma cook & she washed all her meats. So one day I wanted to cook my favorite a cheeseburger so I started washing the ground beef & it stared disappearing lol. I started crying my grandma heard me & came in the kitchen and say what's wrong Nae I said my hamburger disappearing! She started laughing she said you don't wash hamburger baby. I said, but I see you wash da meat mama you always wash all the meat. She explained lol.

I loss my mom to breast cancer and my grandmother recently passed away and Momma Mae Mae cooked her greens the same way they cooked theirs! I felt my granny all throughout this video! Thank you so much and I'll be subscribing and sharing! Blessings ❤

I am from South CAROLINA! Never have I seen onions put on collard greens?

When I heard her say "pot liquor" I knew she was about to throw down cause mom & dad are from Louisiana & that's my entire family's phrase! She just made my heart smile 😊

You need to include a link to your daughter's business. Everyone needs an apron.

Collards and cornbread served with iced tea is a great meal. There’s nothing better.

I tried this, I'm 64yr old. Best greens I ever cooked. Folks still talking about my fried collard greens. Thanks Mae Mae❤️

My Grandmother taught me how to clean greens and cook them without me knowing it was a cooking lesson. She would always say come over here and help me pick these greens. She started me doing that when I was 9, it wasn't until I was a teenager that I realized she was teaching me how to cook Soul Food. Her favorite saying was "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" I'm so happy she taught me how to cook. I have 2 daughters and neither one of them can cook the way Mama does, my youngest one wants me to come and live with her and her little family, her husband is in agreement with her. I'm thinking about it because I miss her and my grandchildren.

Lord listening to you talk is so comforting...your tone and matter-of-factness is what the world is missing. I miss my Granny and your cooking and talking reminds me of her...just warms my heart!!

My mom always added baking soda, she doesn't cook anymore, she's 96. But we were taught baking soda takes the bitterness out, but i also think it shortens the cooking time. Thank you for sharing this recipe. You are a great cook!

You're absolutely right. Collards have changed a lot in the taste and I didn't even realize it. I just knew that I had to do a lot that my grandma didn't do to make them taste good. My grandparents grew their own collards in the yard and they were delicious. The grocery store ones are definitely not the same.

Sitting here crying as I watch this video..makes me miss my Grandma!! I absolutely love this!! So warm and loving!!💕 Thank you Mae Mae!!

Oh Lort! The way she talk the way she tap the pot, just like my grandma♥️♥️someone else said just listening to her voice is so soothing!🙏🏿 God bless! Give Mrs.Mae her flowers while she is living!

Hi Mae Mae…I’m 79 yrs young. I love your cooking and recommend your page to everyone young and old (also share). I remember two dishes that my grandma made and never learned to make. One was Tea Cakes and the other was sweet potato pudding or bread…the sweet potato bread was made in a sheet cake pan without a crust. Hopefully you know how to make these so I can share with my family!!! Again, I love your thorough and careful explanation during your cooking shows….Love, Dorothy♥️
