FALLING IN LOVE WITH OKRA

Falling in Love with Okra image

Okra is my favorite green vegetable. Chronic illnesses have made dietary changes a must in our household. My husband has had to eat more vegetables and fruit. Boredom is one of my problems, so I play around and come up with different ways to cook the same vegetables that we like. This is one of our favorites.
