Well, today, in our weekly What's Cookin'? segment presented by Kentucky Legend here on WBKR, our friend Kelly Bland, from the UK Cooperative Extension Office here in Daviess County, is sharing a fun twist on that recipe.  We're adding some greens to the pork and the beans.  Here's how to make Pork with Greens and Beans!
