About
hello! we’re olives & okra
Four generations
I started Olives & Okra in 2011 to share old and new family recipes. I added crochet and crafts and then, eventually, gardening tips. In 2020, I took a hiatus from blogging to help care for my aging parents.
Today, my daughter, Amanda, and granddaughter, Simone, will continue Olives & Okra as a lifestyle blog. We’ll write about family recipes, life topics, crafts and DIY projects, beauty and fashion, and well-being.
Join us! You’ll find plenty of topics of interest to you.

These are a few of our favorite things…
- We love making family recipes, creating new ones, trying new cuisines, dining out, and talking about all things food.
- We think of ourselves as do-it-yourselfers. We love to craft, repurpose furniture and other items, sew, and crochet.
- Pets, family, travel, parenting, grandparenting, and holidays are a few of our favorite things.
- We focus on self-care, wellness, fitness, and overall mental and physical health.
- We love Central Florida and all it offers – theme parks, nature preserves, festivals, cruises, farms, ranches, and arts and entertainment. The great weather is a plus, too!
- We love to garden, too, and watch plants and herbs grow. It’s not without its challenges in our hot and humid weather.
- We love coffee.
