Southern-Style Ribollita

I've been battling a head cold this week. You know the kind-- super congestion, fatigue, and general unpleasantness. While that might super-suck, it's also the perfect time to make a soup that's basically a bowl full of health and vitamins. Note: Whenever I say vitamins in my head, I always pronounce it vih-tuh-mins...like I'm British. That is how the Brits say it, right?

Collard & Benne Seed Salad

I'm way overdue with this.  I totally made this salad Monday with the intention of sharing it yesterday.  It's totally good for a Thursday, though!  In fact, it's super duper healthy.  I mean, if this doesn't have fiber, I don't know what does.  Plus you've got some collards for a bit of color and a tangy mustard dressing.  I've called this a salad, but don't let that make you think it's dainty.  No, this is a heavy lifter.  Oh, and benne seeds are just a Southern way of saying sesame seeds.  So get to it!
