I love the taste of deep-fried okra. Sometimes though, I want to limit my carbs, so I make okra "fries". They give me the flavor of fried okra, but with far fewer calories, and much less fat. Okra "fries" are a tasty snack and they can be an interesting veggie side for dinner. I love to munch them, plain, as a snack. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.

Loaded Bacon, Cheddar, and Ranch Potatoes
These loaded bacon, Cheddar, and ranch potatoes are the best you'll ever make, guaranteed! This recipe feeds a lot of people and it's a cinch to toss together. I took it to a potluck and the pan came home licked clean, literally! People were going back for seconds and thirds, and they were disappointed when it was all gone. These potatoes are so good, you just can't stop eating them! They go great with chicken, beef, or pork. Halve the recipe for a family of four.
Potato Enchilada
This dish is a favorite of my family's. It sounds awful and even looks that way, but it is very tasty as well as having a bit of your veggies. My kids don't know that it's better for them than a cheeseburger!
Beef Stifado in the Slow Cooker
Greek stifado is a beef stew and my all-time favorite Greek dish. Chunks of tender beef are cooked with shallots in a rich, aromatic tomato sauce. Serve with boiled rice and a good supply of crusty bread to mop up the decadent sauce!
