Here’s your chance to share Aunt Mary’s Pecan Pie or Uncle Ernie’s Eggplant Casserole or even that fabulous dinner you made last week.  Write it up. Be sure to list all the ingredients first and then give the directions, oven temps, etc.  Each recipe will be published with the author’s name and city, but if you’d prefer to give your gifts to the world without credit, just tell me what city you are from!

ROASTED OKRA (adapted from Organic Gardener)
Okra (select pods no longer than 4 inches for best results)
Olive oil
Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Wash and dry okra  Do not cut off stem end - leave intact!  Toss okra with just a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.  Place on cookie sheet and roast about 10 minutes - just until lightly browned and tender.
To eat just grasp stem end, bite and enjoy - no slime - even kids will eat okra fixed this way!
