Notes
Store the Collard Greens and Beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they'll stay good for up to 3-4 days. To freeze, store in your freezer and it'll keep well for about 2 months.
When reheating, you can do so in the microwave or on the stovetop. If frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. In the microwave, heat it in intervals, stirring occasionally. On the stovetop, reheat over medium heat, adding a bit of water or broth to prevent drying out.
