    My favorite thing about your videos is they’re so real for the average household. All of these recipes are something I can make any day of the week. They’re quick, simple and so so good. When I meal plan I use at least one recipe of yours. Thankful for you!

    Girl, as an Alabama girl, all I can say about okra, is FRY that okra! It's delicious, not slimy. In the summer when okra is plentiful, I love to pick the pods while they are small and tender and season them up and air fry them whole with no batter only seasoning. But you can't beat a classic corn meal batter fried either. We love it!

      Yes! Okra should be fried or cooked in a gumbo.

      I coat my okra in cornmeal, salt, and pepper; drizzle with oil & bake it in the oven. No slimy okra!

    A few things - you could buy provolone from the deli in a block and shred. Also, with the steak marinade, you could marinate your steak all day, then when you take it out, add another package of steaks to the marinade and freeze it. It would marinate as it thawed when you’re ready. I have issues when I feel like I’m wasting food or throwing money away, too. Thanks for sharing! I love your family friendly meals. :)

      You can also cook the marinade on the stovetop after you take the steak out, just make sure it’s cooked until any meat juices would be cooked out. 😊

    Hey! You can cook that leftover marinade for 5-10minutes (make sure it boils…doesn’t have to be a hard boil) and then use it on the steaks. Boiling will kill any bacteria and will allow you to have a delicious sauce. Love your channel. ❤😊

    Some people like okra boiled but it does get slimey, no getting around that. You have to fry it to get rid of the sliminess. A simple seasoned cornmeal breading and fry it. It is soooo good that way. I have planted some okra in my garden so I'm super excited to harvest, cook and eat it. But everything you made looked amazing. Dumplings and beans, yes please! Love the videos! Take care!

    After you’re done marinating it, pour the marinade in a pot and boil it. It will kill all bacteria and thicken it into a sauce that you can pour over the steaks. Then you don’t have to waste it! I love this tip because 1) it tastes delicious and 2) I’m like you and HATED having to just trash the marinade!

    Everything looked so good!

I might strain out all those spices first though. Pour it over rice and also use as Au Jus for the meat. Proud of you stepping outside your comfort zone!

    In my opinion, the best way to eat okra is either breaded and fried or baked in the oven if you want a healthier version. Both are good. I like to soak my cut up okra in a bowl of milk for a few minutes and then coat it in corn meal. I then fry it until the breading is golden brown...so delicious!! For the oven you spread the cut up okra on a baking sheet. Spray with oil and add salt. Bake in the oven until crispy. Okra is always slimy when it is cut in small pieces. I love getting fresh okra in the summer and cutting it up myself. It is so good!

    I don't know if your store has already breaded frozen okra to fry, but that stuff is pretty good. Or making a corn meal breading is good too. I would recommend thawing out your okra before fresh frying though. You just toss the okra in some seasoned corn meal, I don't even think you need eggs. The sliminess acts as a binder. I swear, our intuitions are always on the same wave length because I have been craving fried cod. That fish looks so delicious! You should be proud! If you want to do it again, I highly recommend making some copy-cat Red Lobster cheddar biscuits with it! Sooo good!

    If you want fried okra, just buy the frozen breaded one. I’ve never had success making it homemade. I like to use okra in gumbo. You don’t notice the sliminess, and it actually acts as a bit of a thickener.
