southern fried okra

July 20

Fried okra is a southern favorite! It is very simple to prepare.

  • approximately 2 dozen pieces of okra
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup corn meal mix ( if you can’t buy it, make your own with equal parts flour and corn meal)
  • vegetable oil about 2 T
  • couple shakes of Cajun spice

Cut the ends off the okra and cut the okra into thick slices or chunks about 1 inch thick. Add to beaten egg in mixing bowl. Mix well. Then add Cajun spice and corn meal mix. stir well until evenly coated. Heat a skillet to med hot and add oil, then add okra, let cook for a minute or two then turn with spatula. Turn occasionally until evenly browned.  It cooks pretty fast. Serve and enjoy!

stir fry squash and rice

July 12

This is one of those throw it in the pan recipes so there are no amounts. It is more a recipe idea. Don’t be afraid to get creative.

  • diced yellow squash or zucchini
  • diced red peppers
  • sliced mushrooms
  • diced fresh garlic
  • chopped green onions
  • about 2 T. olive oil
  • cooked rice
  • optional ~ pita pockets
  • salt and pepper to taste or a little Cajun seasoning

Sauté all of the vegetables in the olive oil in a med hot skillet until the veggies are soft but not mushy. Serve over a bed of rice, or with rice in pita pocket. Really easy and very yummy.

My name is Penny Raine, you can read more about myself and my family at my everyday blog PennyRaine.com . When I was a young girl growing up I loved to cook and was determined that if  I had daughters I would teach them to cook. Well the Lord blessed us with 5 daughters and they can now cook better than I do!  They have a gift for taking a recipe and making it better than it was intended to be. We have several old cookbooks that were handwritten the way the homemakers of yesteryear used to do them. They include not only recipes but scriptures and bits of wit and wisdom. This site is on online version of just that, an old-fashioned cookbook. You will find recipes we have created and some we have improved upon. You will also find scriptures and notes here and there.

I pray that you are blessed here  and that you don’t forget to Bless the Cook!
