On Fridays, I'll try to update each week some food-related activity. I might do a recipe request, meal ideas, What's your favorite ...?, or some game related to a food topic.
Tomatoes: I slice them into wedges, sprinkle salt, pepper, and dill and eat them. Yum!
ReplyDeleteBell Peppers: Slice into strips and sprinkle with salt.
Okra: I like to cut the ends off and steam them but my family prefers fried okra. They slice them into pieces about 3/4" wide and dip them in buttermilk and then dip them in cornmeal and fry them up.
Squash and zucchini: Slice and saute with a small yellow onion. Sometimes cover with cheese.
Black eyed peas: boil them in a pan of water, lightly salt them.
Green beans: When available, a little fatback lard or bacon is used, or else, beef bouillion cubes. Also when available, throw in fresh baby potatoes! Also good with sliced almonds.
Corn: sometimes boiled on the cob and buttered, but most of it is cut off and cooked with butter and a little salt.
