Our summer garden is coming to an end, but the okra is still holding on. It has been so hot here, I just don’t want to go pick the okra some days, so, when I finally make it out there, there are a few pieces that are overgrown and hard. I had been throwing some …

We are extremely lucky that D loves his fruits and veggies and has the ability to eat a well balanced meal. Does he always? Well, no, but he does a …
