Quarantine Cooking: The Lady & Sons Okra & Tomatoes Recipe 

This is why I watch Paula. Real southern cooking without apology for using real ingredients. No vegan. No light. Just delish! Forever follow Paula's cooking.

Simmering onions & butter with or without bacon is just a heavenly scent in the house. No doubt about it!

It’s so good to see Aunt Peggy - so glad she’s with the fam!!🥰

This Bama girl always has a can of tomatoes and frozen okra for the same thing. Yum!

I think I'm one of the only people in my family that likes okra. This literally made my mouth water 🤤.

Bacon grease can on the stove. A southern staple

Succotash can have different variations. I've used butter beans, lima beans, and black eyed peas and I use fresh tomatoes.

My daddy always had a garden so mama would make this with fresh tomatoes and okra. Mama also made breaded tomatoes. I would like to see you make that. Thank you for giving me a touch of home with mama and daddy

***DISCLAIMER -- I didn't grow up in the south, nor have I ever lived in the south*** ..... But I absolutely LOVE, lOVE, LOVE okra! Grew up with okra fresh out of my parents garden, along with the tomatoes and other garden-fresh veggies they planted every year here in California. Mama's pot of okra cooked with tomatoes, corn and crumbled up hamburger meat, along with a nice buttery piece of cornbread was a childhood favorite!😋❤

Anything that STARTS with Butter and Bacon is automatically my favorite recipe. !!!! lol

Okra ,that I've learned to love since a small child, came from a friend or relatives garden.

My Mom did a variation of this which included lima beans and corn. We served it over rice. BTW, bacon and onions were the base of many of her recipes. Thank you for bringing back those memories !

Ms. Paula you need a line of candles: butter, bacon, bacon & onion, fried chicken, etc.... all the yummy kitchen smells!!😋😘

This reminds me of Gumbo which we love. I love this combo. The bacon is an added touch I like. This would be good with a good sausage in it too. So nice to see you again and Aunt Peggy is stealing the show again ( tell her I said so) lol How great she has you in her life ,she looks so happy. She is a blessing to you as you are to her. Thumbs up from Texas! xoxo

I made this, but changed it up where I crisped the bacon in the microwave with my bacon maker used the bacon fat for the sautéing and saved the crisp bacon to crumble on top. It also didn’t need the sugar. I used fresh tomatoes, green pepper and okra from my garden. I didn’t use the chicken base as I had some country ham pieces I pulled from the freezer and stirred in last few minutes. I added a can of blackeyed peas with the okra. My first time growing okra in the garden named the “pickle patch” It was so yummy we had seconds. The next time we will try grits instead of rice.

LOVE okra and tomatoes. Growing up, my Mama never had okra and tomatoes left overs. We ate every last bit of it! (One of my favorite dishes.)

Love you Paula. (=luv ya Paula). Yep. My southern drawl is comin’ along! So’s ma cookin’! I thank ya! 😀🇨🇦

Try adding shredded roast chicken & serving over jalapeño cornbread with a dusting of sharp cheddar cheese.

Looks good im going to make a big pot and use leftovers for veg soup

Yum, yum, yum!!! One of my favorites. Thanks so much for sharing. Do you have a recipe for a tomato macaroni side dish?

Oh my goodness, so many of your recipes are such southern staples in my life. I never knew measurements till seeing you. LoL. My daughter asked for tomato pie for Sunday dinner tomorrow. Hope your healing well after the eye procedure.😍

Aunt Peggy looks looks beautiful and Paula is doing her Okra and tomatoes recipe 👍

In Texas, we call it okra gumbo. No bacon. Never put it over rice. It is a cafeteria staple.

I like fried okra and green tomatoes.

Great recipe and never thought about bacon and also adding a little sugar!! Thanks Paula!! Hey I just wanted to mention I heard sometime back that okra is very good for the body because of the viscosity in it and I won’t go into more detail but search it out and you will want to add it to your diet and This recipe is awesome!!

You are one of my favorite people in this world ❤️ You are the Queen of Southern cooking , none better than you.

OMG 😍😍😍 this south Georgian loves okra and tomatoes and white rice. I was raised on it my Grandpa was a avid gardener and when okra and corn was in season creamed corn, okra and tomatoes was my favorite. No meat it wasn't needed. Thanks for the memories Paula this is making my Sunday dinner menu. Love All the way from Albany Ga.

Thank you, Paula. The okra and tomatoes look wonderfully yummy. I love you and have watched you for years. Safety and blessings for you and your family.

I love Okra! And that looks very delicious with the bacon in it. I hope to try it someday. Lol. Have a good weekend Paula and your family!.

Love love you Paula , and so so appreciate your cooking right in your own kitchen right at home. God bless bless you and yours, always and forever.

Mrs. Paula, I just made this dish and added a pinch of Cajun seasoning, some fresh thyme and oregano out of my garden, and it is absolutely scrumptious!!! Tastes like I’m at my Grandma’s on Lake Blackshear 30 years ago. Thank you for bringing this fabulous memory back into my life!!💜

Sooo good... I craved this when I was pregnant and ate it all the time. It was so healthy, too. Love you, Paula! ⚡️💖⚡️

My mother used maple syrup instead of sugar. Yummy!

We aways added cord to the okra and tomatoes, served either as a vegetable side dish, or thinner as a soup. One of my very favorite things.

Morning Miss Paula and hey everyone! I can smell that bacon frying! I like to make it a little bit crisper before adding the onions, but yowza, that looks mighty good! Mmmm. Miss Paula, are you back, now? Because you rook marvelous!!! And Aunt Peggy, too! Hey Aunt Peggy! Give us some of your secrets! Wishing everyone blue skies...

I love okra. Btw, okra here in Brazil is called quiabo! I love north americans trying to speak words in brazilian portuguese hahaha. It’s so funny!

Super delicious way to eat those veggies! Can't wait to try this out one on my family. Thanks for sharing. Love and Peace to all XO

I’m cooking ham with stewed tomatoes okra and rice for dinner!

Got it on the stove cooking right now and tasted it! Oh my, I can hardly wait for dinner to be ready!

This recipe, for me....would be so good with fluffy dumplings! Can't wait to try it

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this recipe. Okra is my favorite ❤️

I love okra. I live in Michigan and this year my okra plants are taller than me!

I could eat this until I get sick love okra and tomatoes

I love to see Aunt Peggy…. And I love okra and tomatoes, big wedge of buttered cornbread❤️I watch these over and over again…. Thank you Paula, love you so much!

We like hush puppies with our okra and tomatoes. :-)

I can hardly wait to make this! I have never had okra like this!

I need a Bacon grease tin! 😋

Firstly,I would like to say that I love your McKenzie-Child’s teapot! But here’s the thing: You just blew my mind with the okra recipe. I currently live in Ohio, but grr up in southeast Texas. This is bayou country, not the stereotypical cowboy hat culture that most people associate with Texas. Louisiana culture. And the loveley ladies in the school cafeteria, they were Cajun, and they were Creole. Unlike today, where school food comes from foodservice cans, those ladies made everything by hand! We’re talking about the 1970’s. And their OKRA!!!! Nothing beat that okra,fried and breaded, somehow with only the ghost of it’s infamous slime. Even parents would come to school , in order to sit down with a plate of shrimp gumbo, and that heavenly side dish of perfectly prepared okra. And don’t get me started on the peanut butter bars that they made. Worth their eight in gold, truly...

Can’t do okra lol but it’s nice to see you guys

Oh my stars! This is the best okra and tomatoes I’ve ever had!!!❤️

I have never eaten Okra ... but it looks lovely 🇦🇺🤗

I just love you Paula! Watching your videos brings me a good warm feeling in my heart like i'm hanging out in the kitchen with my aunts sisters mama and mamaw. God bless and keep you and your family and friends.

Hi Paula, I love smoke sausage and shrimp in my okra and tomatoes.

I made this today. We absolutely loved it. Scarfed it! Until it was gone. Thank you. You are the best Paula. I have been watching and cooking with you all through quarantine and before. I love cooking in my kitchen with you.

I love how much you love your family. Your sweet aunt cracked me up. Wanna tell me about your recipe? NOPE! Hahah!

Paula, you look lovely today. Did you get your hair did -or do you roll it like my sister used to do? Anyway, looks nice.

True southern move.... reserved bacon grease!! It's liquid gold to us southern women.

I have been craving the pan with the lid that you're using!

Thank you for doing this for us.

Perfect timing with this video! My husband just bought some okra at the farmers market and made your recipe immediately after watching your video. I didn’t even think I liked okra, but it was delicious! Please keep doing your quarantine videos...they are a bright spot in an otherwise difficult time. My only request? I would love to see Eddie make an appearance from time to time!

Paula, you look so pretty, from hair to shoes n everything in between!! 😁. This side dish looks so good. I've just eaten okra in soup, but will definitely be making this. I love love love my veggies! Would you please show us your shrimp n grits??? I am hoping you will make it soon, please? Thank you! ❤️🐾

Blessings to you and your family Mrs Paula!! ♥️♥️ I truly love okra and tomatoes!! My mama made it all the time growing up ♥️♥️

I agree Paula,nothing like bacon and onions 👍🥰

I have never tried okra this recipes looks delicious

It looks so good!

Paula my 4 kids and I absolutely love your cooking style and we pray to one day be able to come to y'all's restaurant!!! I used to have a whole set of your pots and a cookbook but our house fire took them all 😢.

I made this last night with some jalapeño cheddar cheese sausage over rice. It was a hit. Thanks Paula.

Oh My! Save that bacon grease for stove top popcorn.

Going to try this...best wishes for you and Aunt Peggy

My mother taught me to cook zucchini and tomatoes too❤🌹

I loveeee watching you cook & following your delicious recipes 🥰😋😋😋😋

Paula, that looks so good! Can you share your recipe?

Your Aunt Peggy is the cutest...l will make this recipe soon. Sending hugs, prayers and kindness. 💕👍🏼🙏🏼💗🦋

Mom would have loved this dish!

This sounds amazing and so yummy. I cannot wait to give this a try with some bell pepper and some chilies too. Yummy

If you have left over fried okra you can use it too. I love this dish if I'm feeling a little puny. It's comfort food for me.

Nice, thanks for sharing

Glad your feeling better Paula

Paula I think I heard you say you don’t like tea,well I don’t either, never did. So I guess we are odd balls here in the South. Lol , but I do love okra.

I love your recipe!

It was sooo good!

This Lady & Sons Okra & Tomatoes recipe looks so delicious Paula.

That cut of tunic is perfect on you, real nice fit through the shoulders. Hello, from Canada!

I love succotash, frozen okra, tomatoes and corn with green pepper onion and garlic almost just like you did. I don’t like Lima beans so I don’t add them. I love okra any kind of way. I too keep okra in my freezer. I never added the bacon but I must try it! Thanks for sharing!

Aunt Peggy looks great, love your videos

I remember when I first picked okra in the patch, I was itching all over ❤

I love Okra, Tomatoes,Onions, Corn, together and you can add Andouille Sausage. Mm Mm Good!

Wow! My granmomma had that same bacon grease can! ♥️❤️♥️❤️

Thank you so much for showing how to cook this. I love tomatoes and okra and used to get it all the time at a local restaurant but they went out of business several years ago. I haven't had any since they closed and I have really missed it.

I’ve been waiting on this !!! ❤️❤️❤️

Yummy, hug’s from the Southern Outer Banks of NC! I’m so happy to see that you’re going to be on Fox Nation! ❤️😁

Never had it cooked . Love fried .

I just canned up a case and a half of tomatoes and okra today ( minus the bacon) yum

That bacon & onion air freshener would be a winner🏆

I'm with you baby doll. I want my food to taste good not hurt me. NO CHILI PEPPERS!

I have had Okra and tomatoes in a long time.

Paula, I watched your new series on Fox Nation. Love it!! I was getting ready to cancel my Fox Nation subscription until I saw your series. I’m going to keep my subscription so I can continue to watch your new show, At Home with Paula Deen!

Aunt Peggy is nowhere near 90 or 80 years old. She looks sinfully fantastic. And Paula looks freaking amazing here - she could pass for being in her 40’s. What incredible genes! Xxo

love that skillet. what size is it?

I love fried okra.
