the first dessert I baked for my then-fiance was red velvet cake, and he was hooked...I love to cook, and my 3 daughters are following in my footsteps. This is a collection of recipes that we love. Feel free to comment - good, bad, indifferent - if you try any, let me know how they turn out.

Roasted Okra

I got a package of okra in our product co-op box, and usually I slice it, freeze it, and keep it for gumbo, but I decided to try it roasted. It was fantastic- 3 of us gobbled it up. One didn't like it at all, and my other daughter thought it was too peppery. I found a recipe on allrecipes.com.

  • 18 fresh okra pods, sliced 1/3 inch thick

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, or to taste

    • Directions

    1. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
    2. Arrange the okra slices in one layer on a foil lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

      I've been frying it after stirring it in an egg white and then coating it in freshly ground corn meal. But even with the small amount of fat that I use, this is bound to be healthier, and roasting veggies does such nice things for their flavor. (We LOVE roasted cauliflower.) I'm totally trying this.
