Day 2 of 21DSD

Aug. 10, 2013 - Day 2 of sugar detox: There have been no casualties...yet! Although my best friend and junkin' buddy, Marla Panzer might argue that I probably should not drive when my mind is foggy! Headache was almost nonexistent, and I have discovered a new favorite food...roasted okra! My okra plants are on steroids, so I have plenty of the green fuzzy pods. Very simple recipe: Rinse and pat okra dry. Cut into pieces or leave pods whole, cutting off the tops. Spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. I use fresh ground garlic salt and black pepper. Bake at 450 on a cookie sheet lined with foil for 20-25 minutes. I like mine pretty crunchy. Turn periodically to brown on all sides. Enjoy!
