Roasted Fresh Okra
If you have picky eaters who worry about texture, roasted okra is marvelous. It’s OK to crowd the pan. Okra shrinks as it cooks. —Anna Katsoulis, Greenville, North Carolina

Chicken Creole
I like food that has a little zip to it, and this Creole chicken recipe hits the spot every time. It’s especially good served over rice. —Dolly Hall, Wheelwright, Kentucky
