A Cold Saturday, Spent Inside

With today's high in the upper 40's, we stayed indoors all day.

I made this Okra Hash dish for dinner. The family loves it! Definitely will be making this often. The colors are just beautiful together, aren't they? Here is the recipe...

OKRA HASH

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, small dice
2 cups sweet potato, small dice
3 cups okra, sliced in circles
1/2 red bell pepper, small dice
1/2 yellow bell pepper, small dice
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt
Pepper

Directions:

Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes until translucent. Add the potatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add the okra, peppers and smoked paprika and continue to cook until potatoes are tender about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

I also organized our pantry. It was long overdue. I try to keep our dry goods in jars to extend the shelf life. And of course I love to use the vintage blue mason/ball jars in doing so. (Naturally)

With cleaned laundry, kitchen organizing and trying a lovely new recipe, I'm left feeling accomplished today. A good feeling indeed.

What did you do today?
