Dinna Dawgs!!

IMG_7259 (640x427)

Bilinski organic apple chicken sausage  on a Flax Oat Bran bun! The bun totally made this meal!

IMG_7264 (640x427)

The okra fries turned into okra bites 🙁 Matt accidentally chopped them up!

IMG_7260 (640x427)

Still so good. Okra is one of my very favorite veggies!!! LOVE the sliminess and chewiness!

IMG_7262 (640x427)

IMG_7257 (640x427)

IMG_7256 (640x427)

After dinner I had to run to Emily‘s to return her wedding rings. Got to play with her crazy dawgs and talk to her while she made dinner!

Currently gearing up for bed. Going to do some reading first! I almost bought The Help today but decided I should try to borrow it first. Thanks to Stacy for offering to pay it forward!

Nite guys!

    I LOOOOOOVE slimy okra!! The slimier the bettah 🙂 I need to make some okra fries. My dad usually just stir fries them. I tried them raw the other day too…not quite as slimy but they sure make a quick snack!

      Georgia,
      This is so subjective that I couldn’t really do a guide. It depends on their person and their needs. But I think most people *KNOW* what the correct portion size is. Think about the 1950s 🙂

    I could never get into Okra! I love the idea of it, but there’s something about the texture that turns me off. Maybe I’m just not cooking it quite right. 😉

    That slim on the okra is why I avoid it. I think the only way I’ve had it and liked it is fried. But …ho-hum…don’t eat fried anything anymore. 🙁

      I have never made okra fries with frozen okra. You could probably put it in the oven and bake it nicely, but I’m just not sure how it would go.
