If part of your traditional New Year's menu includes collards, but you'd rather avoid the traditional bacon fat laden, cooked past death version, give this recipe a try. No nose holding necessary ;-)

**Use organic or local ingredients if possible**

1 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 large onion - chopped
1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 red, yellow or green bell pepper - chopped

Bullheadedness. Bullheadedness is the leading cause of mad cow disease! Oh.....

My sweetheart said that to me the other day when we were engaged in a discussion of "the best way to do something". I don't remember what something we were discussing and it's not important. We choose to find humor in our differences rather than conflict and it keeps life interesting and fun.
