Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe
Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe is a simple and fast okra dish that is crunchy, flavorful, and not at all slimy. Some like it better than fried. There is nothing like fresh okra in the summertime. I love okra any way you can cook it, but blistered okra could become my favorite way to eat it. This okra is super easy to make and takes very little prep work. What keeps the okra crisp and does not release its juices which can be gummy, is to not add any water (liquid) when cooking the okra. Another tip is to heat the avocado oil, firing hot but not burning, and then add the okra. This renders the crisp outside to the okra and a tender inside. This is also how I cook mushrooms, which makes a great compliment to the okra. Once the okra is cooked, stop stirring it. Continuing to stir the okra will change the texture of the okra, which is why it is best to cook the okra just before serving. The seasoning is straightforward, salt and pepper with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Montreal ste

I made a spin on my traditional Southern Baked Beans for the recipe for the bacon; I switched for a slab of pork belly that I cut up into 1/2-inch chunks. The pork and beans need to be drained really well to start off with. And the pork belly needs to cook low and slow until done and golden brown, stirring and watching closely not to burn. If you try to cook it faster, it will present chewy and dry results.

Turnip Hash Browns are a yummy addition to any meal, not just breakfast. I have always enjoyed turnips cooked with turnip greens, but I have played around with roasting them in the oven and cooking them in the air fryer for an alternative to potatoes in recent years.

Whole Roasted Cauliflower
Whole Roasted Cauliflower, a delicious side dish that is meaty and filling enough it could hold center stage as a meatless main dish. Cauliflower has become one of our favorite vegetables. I have always broken the cauliflower into flowerets and roasted them with a little olive oil and seasonings. After seeing several recipes come across Instagram, I was so intrigued by roasting a whole cauliflower I had to give it try. The key to getting a tender succulent return on roasting a whole cauliflower is to cook it in butter with fragrant spices and herbs before roasting. This will cut down on the roasting time and lends a beautiful sauce to serve over the cauliflower cut into glorious steaks.
Summer Vegetable Gratin
Summer Vegetable Gratin, four simple vegetables layered in a gratin fashion on a bed of sauteed sliced onions then topped with a mixture of buttery breadcrumbs and shredded parmesan cheese.

The vegetables are beneficial to using uniform size, so the gratin cooks evenly and not yielding too much moisture. Also, the larger the vegetables, the larger the seeds. In the recipe, I use fresh Roma tomatoes, straight neck squash, slender zucchini, and mini Japanese eggplants. At the last minute, I scattered a few garlic pods in and around the vegetables to enhance the flavors.
Stain Glass Fruit Salad
Stain Glass Fruit Salad, fresh pineapple chunks, fresh strawberry slices, and fresh blueberries tossed all together in a strawberry pie filling, homemade or canned.

We have some that are not a fan of bananas in this salad, so we leave them out but feel free to add them along with any other fresh fruit. I think Kiwi and grapes would be another delicious addition or even peaches. If you add peaches, a homemade peach pie filling is a great combination.

Sage Pork Tips and Rice Dressing
Sage Pork Tips and Rice Dressing with all the flavors of Thanksgiving. The pork tips are cooked low and slow in the oven with mushrooms and onions and a sprig of fresh sage and thyme nestled in the broth. I grabbed a large package of pork tips and our local Sams this past week at a terrific price. I like to cook half of the package and then freeze the rest, but this time I decided to cook the whole package. As the temperatures here in North East Texas is getting pretty chili, I couldn't wait to cook something warm and comforting. We love beef tips, and I wanted to use the same cooking method of low and slow as I do with them. I cooked the Pork Tips in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours.
