You can check for seasoning, generally salt isn't needed, but you might want pepper. Also good with cornbread to sop up the juices (potlikker) from the greens.
add cornmeal dumplings to the pot licker. its very good with hot water cornbread and ice tea.

With the chilly temperatures, most definitely Split Pea Soup - just add carrots, potatoes and onions. I always start with a homemade chicken broth base. Throw it in the crock pot and forget about it!
