More than one way to cook greens
By Olivia Fowler

Sometimes I fall into a rut in the kitchen and stick with the tried-and-true methods of cooking certain foods. That’s not a bad thing or a good thing.
But I may be missing out on a new wrinkle when it comes to foods that are so familiar.
All of these recipes have some things in common. They also have some elements that are very different. But they are all good.
You may prefer one over another, but until you step out of the box and try them, you’ll never know how good collard greens can be.

No. 1 LSU stormed back from an early 17-7 deficit on Monday night and proved to the college football world what it may have already known — that it was the best team in the nation this year — beating Clemson 42-25 to win the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and complete a perfect 15-0 season.
The loss brought an end to Clemson’s 29-game winning streak — a streak that began after the Tigers lost to Alabama in the same building two years ago.
“Obviously a disappointing night for us, not the way we envisioned it going,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “I’m thankful for our team. I’m thankful for God’s grace, for allowing me to be part of such a special group of
