Evelyn’s Mustard and Turnip Greens Recipe

Happy Holidays, Darlings!

Yes, I'm here with another recipe. This one is an old favorite and is usually cook when the mustard and turnip greens are in season. However, in today’s world and with the added intervention of hydroponic indoor garden systems, not only can you grow mustard and turnip greens any time of the year, now you can also have collard, kale, baby pol choy and swish chard ready to cook and eat whenever you want them.

Although in today’s recipe, I am using store bought greens, my own mustard, turnip and collard greens seedlings are growing well in their hydroponic tower. I will show them off on a later date on my Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens website.

For now here is my mustard and turnip greens recipe.

I just finished watching the South Korean Romcom series, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty on Netflix, and now I am watching The King's Affection also on Netflix, and  Queen Woo on Paramount+. I truly enjoy watching South Korean entertainment, and am glad that through Roku television I have been able to watch it these past ten years along with my daily soap operas. You remember Days of Our Lives on Peacock/NBC, The Young and the Restless on Paramount+/CBS, and, oh let’s not forget its all new soap, Beyond the Gates with its predominate black cast members. In truth, l binge watch these soaps every weekend.  

 

However, right at this moment, I am settling in to watch the NBC special of director, Jon M. Chu musical, Wicked: One Wonderful Night.
