A great Southern okra dish that allegedly comes from the heart of Acadiana. This vegetable dish is heavy enough to serve as a main dish and makes one pine for the fiddles and chicory coffee.

Miscellaneous fresh vegetables are simmered, and coated with a creamy sauce. This recipe was handed down from my grandmother. It is a family favorite. A great way to use those garden vegetables. To save time, I cut corn from the cob while other vegetables are cooking.

Okra is simmered with tomatoes and chilies to perfection. Soaking in vinegar removes the slimy stuff. You won't believe it is okra when the aroma fills your house! Just good 'old-time home cooking. '

An easy spicy dish made with rice and black-eyed peas. Adjust the spices to your needs - less Creole Seasoning if you like it mild, add chili powder or cayenne pepper for more kick!
