Okra

So Okra is a southern food (I think). My dad grew up in South Carolina and had this sometimes. So my Mom would always cook it with the good ‘ol southern meals. We had one tonight. Fried okra, cube steak, mash potatoes, gravy, and another veggie. Really healthy stuff! lol

Get a bag of frozen okra or you can get fresh sometimes (but it has to be TENDER to the cut). Thaw the okra (yes its slimy) Dip it in a bowl of corn meal. Coat it well with the corn meal. White corn meal is the best. Then throw it in a pan of HOT Veg. oil and fry until golden. Salt and Pepper to taste.


That’s it! Brian now loves it! Can you believe that? Mr. Picky eater! Now if we could just get the boys to eat this or any Veggie for that matter without it being like “pulling teeth”!

    Looks yummy! Is it expensive? I’d love to try that sometime, and see if I can get my picky eater to try it ;)!
