Ok the tomatoes and Cucumbers are gone. The weather is hot so the Okra is ready. I have several ways to cooks okra, but we discovered a new way this summer which is now our favorite - Grilled Okra.
Grilled Okra
Wash and remove the small feathers near the stem. They should come off quite easily. Brush olive oil and salt and pepper plus a little cajun seasoning on the Okra. Heat the grill to med high and grease the grill so the Okra doesn't stick and add the okra to the grill. Grill about 5 minutes per side or until tender. Remove from grill, let it cool just a little and pick it up using the stem and eat.
Sauteed Okra
This is just a simple stirfry.
1/2 onion chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped
10-15 okra sliced into 1/2 inch slices.
Heat a saute pan with a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil. Add the onions and cook until they begin to brown, add the garlic and okra and cook until okra is tender about 5-10 minutes.

Vegetable gardening tips and recipes
Welcome to my Blog
Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.
