    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.

    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!

    Everything looked so good! Except that okra, which is always awful and slimy as snot, unless it is battered and deep fried - which is really good. 😄 As for all that marinade, I take the leftover and bring it to a boil & let it cook a few minutes. 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!

  • @laurc619
    @laurc619 Před rokem +2

    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!

    I’ve recently come across your channel and it’s so lovely! You are such a wonderful mom and spouse- so nurturing ♥️
    I’d suggest making okra chips that are super crispy- cutting the okra in a circular fashion into tiny pieces and deep/shallow/air frying them with salt, pepper and paprika powder until dark green.

  • @delisabowman1530
    @delisabowman1530 Před rokem +1

    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!

    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.

  • @MandyTG

    Roasting the okra in the oven at high heat also gets rid of the slime. The slime is a natural thickener which is why it's used in gumbo.

    okra is often included in stew-like things, like gumbo where it has plenty of time to get soft. honestly all frozen veggies run into this problem of being slimy and gross if you don't cook the hell out of them or just use them in soups. I usually roast frozen veggies I want as a side. easy too, just throw em on a sheet pan with the seasoning you want(foil for easy cleanup) and throw in the oven until they're fork tender.

    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!

  • @ksacosta69

    I love all of your videos! The food always looks phenomenal! I would either boil the extra marinade and pour it over my steaks, or boil it and use it poured over rice or veggies. You could also just reuse it as a marinade. And okra fried is the best! I did hear, though, that roasting it on a bbq grill would crisp it up without any slime. 🤷

    My husband LOVES okra. Especially pickled okra. He grew up in east Texas and just can’t get enough spicy hot pickled okra. My good friend is originally from Georgia and calls pickled okra “elephant boogers” because oh the slimy texture.
    If you cook it in with a soup or stew you won’t notice the slimy texture as much. I like it cooked with shrimp creole , cooked in with jambalaya or gumbo I really like it cooked in with black eyed peas in any recipe. I often do a jalapeño a beer , tomatoes garlic onion S&P and cumin Mexican oregano and cilantro like homesick Texan does.
