Steps:

• 1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Melt half a stick of butter in the pan.
• 2. Place the corn, okra and onions into the pan and saute until they just barely start to turn tender.
• 3. At this point, add the garlic and continue to saute until the vegetables become a little tender.
• 4. Then add the half and half. Turn down the heat a small amount so the half and half will not scorch. Let this cook down a little and reduce by about one half. The vegetables should be fully tender by this point (but not mushy).
• 5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 6. NOTE: You can vary the portion size easily just by the amount of corn, okra and onions - go by sight and have equal portions of each. Still pour out 1/4 c of half and half but eyeball it and slowly add little by little until you get the suitable amount (not too dry and not too runny). You may also add additional vegetables such as grape tomatoes cut in half, but don't over do it, adding too many will over power the dish with too many flavors going on. You don't want more than 5 different flavors at the most.
