Today's Harvest: First Cucumbers and Okra

The summer veggies keep rolling in.  A couple days ago I harvested my first cucumbers EVER and yesterday and today I harvested the first okra of the season.  I keep planting okra because it is so easy to grow, loves the heat, can take drought, and produces like crazy.  The only problem is, I haven't found an okra recipe yet that I really love.  I don't eat much fried food, but I hear that might be the way to go with okra.  Do you have any okra recipes you love?  If so, I'm all ears!
