Smothered Okra and Tomatoes

"I love okra !! yummy. This Recipe has come from watching my aunt as I was a little girl making this delicious concoction, the smell of this cooking oh my!! This recipe comes from south Louisiana, If you have some okra lovers, I suggest doubling this recipe. Also this recipe can be used with squash instead of okra, it is just as delicious as the okra!!! Just don't use the tomatoes with the squash, not unless you would like it that way, but do try the squash once without the tomatoes."

  1. I made this for my 85 year old mother and she couldn't get enough! I've never seen her eat so many vegetables at one time. Thank you for posting.
     
  2. Everyone in the house that eats okra loved this. My daughter refused to move away from the pot. Thank you.

I was born and raised in Louisiana, moved to another state for a few years and had to come home. Like Dorthy said theres no place like home.I am a grandmother of five and a half, theres one baking in the oven right now. (^^) And a mother of four from 33 to 23. I love all my babies and my husband too! I love to come up with recipes myself at home, usually they come out pretty good. I love doing crafts, I make hair bows to sell, I like to watch all the home improvement shows, and decorating also, I love to go to garage sales.
