         | New Years         Resolutions  
 2012 is here and it's time for the highly         anticipated or dreaded, New Year resolutions. Many of us start off with         grandiose goals, not realizing that success requires consistent         dedication and commitment.  That's probably why elliptical         machines are never available in gyms in January and their popularity         begins to fade in February.  It's not that we don't want to succeed or aren't         capable; it's just we end up neglecting our "resolution" time         towards something or someone else. As we all know, when duties or         responsibilities call, we're usually there. Therefore, I propose making         2012 the year of realistic, achievable goals. So, instead of declaring         that you'll work out at the gym every day, consider changing your         lifestyle. Stairs will take you to the same place that an elevator will         and baby steps will eventually lead to success.

           |  |             |           Tasty Collard Greens  By: ANADRI  
 "A classic recipe for collard greens that uses           smoked turkey to add some flavor. Greens are simmered in chicken           stock, then spiced with a dash of red chile flakes." |  
 Original         Recipe Yield 10 servings 
 Ingredients  1/4              cup olive oil2              tablespoons minced garlic5              cups chicken stock1              smoked turkey drumstick5              bunches collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and choppedsalt              and black pepper to taste1              tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
 Directions  Heat              olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, and gently              saute until light brown. Pour in the chicken stock, and add the              turkey leg. Cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add              the collard greens to the cooking pot, and turn the heat up to              medium-high. Let the greens cook down for about 45 minutes,              stirring occasionally. Reduce              heat to medium, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue              to cook until the greens are tender and dark green, 45 to 60              minutes. Drain greens, reserving liquid. Mix in red pepper flakes              if desired. Use liquid to reheat leftovers.
