Are you bored with your veggies?  I realized a handful of vegetables (sautéed spinach, roasted asparagus, & steamed sugar snap peas) are in frequent rotation in my house with little variety.  So when I spotted fresh okra at the grocery, I decided to spice things up in my kitchen. Now, I’ve had my fair share [...]

New Orleans has a serious case of Super Bowl Fever!  Many people and children are getting off from work and school the Monday after the game. There are Saints flags, posters, banners, etc., all over the city!  The hospital cafeteria has been playing Saints music all week… including “Get Crunk”!  I even saw the phrase [...]
