Roasted Okra
"I've got just one okra loving-kid. That's an amazingly low statistic because in south Louisiana and the surrounding parishes, families are raised on the stuff. Here's a healthier version. One thing I am certain, if you never liked it before, you won't like this either. Note: Make sure the okra is dried on the outside after rinsing and before coating with oil. Oh, and I think it's best made with young, tender okra pods. Umm, one more thing, even good grilled."

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
