Crispy Okra with Bacon Jam

Crispy Okra with Bacon Jam

Looking for inspiration for this blog post, I thought a trip to Alexandria for their mid-week farmers market would be nice. And it was. Harris graciously drove (and found that Debbie’s seafood pie was oh so very good). The market’s on Tuesdays from 3-6 pm at 2727 Jackson St. Check it out sometime!

I found okra, peppers and the most beautiful chestnut mushrooms. The mushrooms for another post.

So it’s the preseason … go Saints! And this week is the start of college football (cheer here for your favorite team!) And instead of the usual chips, I wanted a yummy snack food that’s easy on the carbs. Not a fan of the slime? None here!!

It’s also easy make and so good!! Roast up a tray of these bad boys and dig in! Got a favorite low carb football snack? Let us know! And post a pic of this recipe if you make it!
