Can life get any better than with a Fried food that is also Keto friendly? I would say not. This Keto Fried Okra Fritters recipe will have you begging for more PLEASE!
During the Summer we always have tons of okra to pick from our garden. So, cooking fried okra a couple times a week is normal for us. But, I was wanting to try something a little different. That is when this recipe came about.
It was a hit, because the kids were begging for more within a couple of days. One of the kids wanted me to add sugar to the batter, so that the fritters would taste like corn fritters. Which isn’t a bad idea for this Keto recipe. My favorite keto sweetener is Pyure.
Here are a few pics of my kids working in our garden. I believe that it’ll help them to understand that food not only comes from the grocery store.
Every year my family plants a garden which begins in February, because the first veggie that we plant are onions.
It is so rewarding to plant a seed or a plant and watch it grow into a plant that produces vegetables. These are vegetables that we can grow at home with no chemicals, plus no shopping at the local supermarket which is a big extra benefit.
Growing your vegetables or fruit takes your time, work and a little patience, but the rewards are huge.

Besides the benefits of growing your own food, a garden as many other benefits:
- family time
- Sunshine (plenty of Vit. D)
- less screen time for the family
- a sense of accomplishment
- getting in the dirt and getting dirty which kids love to do
- fresh air
- teaching your children about life sustanability
- exercise and plenty of it
- science lessons (for homeschoolers)
- therapy, gardening is therapy for our mental health that most people do not realize. So, it can reduce anxiety and stress levels (or it has for me 🙂 ) Especially, for little Gabe, lol
