Mom's Strawberry Love
My mother was a smart and loving mother who can handle anything coming at her. Loosing her own mother at 10 to TB, she had to be a mother of two younger sister and brother until her father married again. Because they were so young, they do not remember their biological mother at all. Before she passed away, she was at the hospital for a year. Her children were not allowed to visit her due to the highly contagious nature of the illness, tuberculosis.

Rajasthani Wedding Food That Will Make Your Taste Buds Dance!

A Rajasthani wedding is not just about vibrant attire, folk music, and grand décor—it is also about an elaborate spread of mouthwatering dishes that leave guests in awe. The cuisine of Rajasthan is known for its rich flavors, generous use of ghee, aromatic spices, and a perfect balance of sweet and spicy delights.

My Grandmother's Kulchatay. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
If I were to name one dish from my culture that defined me, I'd say it was kulchatay (pronounced /ku:l-cha-'tay/) from the northern rural region of Kyrgyzstan where I spent my summers as a child and teenager, on my grandparents’ farm.

1930's Peanut Butter And Pickle Sandwhich Recipe
It’s hard to imagine now, with grocery aisles stocked to the brim and endless meal delivery apps at our fingertips, but there was a time when putting food on the table was a daily struggle. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, millions of families in America faced severe economic hardship, and meals became less about flavor and more about survival. It was in this era of ingenuity and necessity that the humble peanut butter and pickle sandwich found its moment.

Turning Wild Plants Into Life-Saving Ingredients
This article may seem like a strange one, but stay with me here. Did you know that you can make flour from a number of common plants, not just wheat? Perhaps you're wondering why this is even a topic worth learning about. In an emergency or crisis situation, you may need to know what you can substitute for flour and how to do it.

Sunday Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. Second Place in A Taste of Home Challenge.
You always knew it was Sunday morning, even in the midst of summer where time and space seem to disappear alongside the depths of night - the porch lights not coming on until eleven. The smell of frying sausage wafted down the hallway mixed with the unmistakable bitterness of strongly brewed coffee and warm cozy smell of home that could only materialize from some sort of baking bread.

The Miracle of Three Fish and a Can of Beans
Food has always been more than mere sustenance; it’s a bridge to history, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to faith. The dish I call The Miracle of Three Fish and a Can of Beans is rooted in both personal experience and a biblical inspiration—the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes with five loaves and two fish. For me, this recipe is more than a meal; it represents survival, resourcefulness, and the unshakable belief that even the smallest provisions, when used wisely, can be enough.

My Mom's Stroganoff. Honorable Mention in A Taste of Home Challenge.
Most people have a favorite comfort food they like to eat. It can be a sweet dessert, chocolate, mashed potatoes, just about anything from Thanksgiving dinner. Some dishes are cultural, something that reminds them of family and home. Others are just for the taste or mouth feel of the food item. I know when my husband is having an off day, he wants macaroni and cheese. A perennial favorite with kids and adults alike. You can never do wrong with the orange-yellow noodle-y goodness.

My Mom's Picadillo
One of the things I hate most about recipes online is the long story that comes before it. The entire history of where the ingredients for a butter cake come from, the author’s entire food-on-the-road blog, or everything that’s happened in the world since it was formed. A lot of advertisements floating around the sides or in between the text. Then follows the general ingredients, and more dialogue. A few photos. THEN you get the recipe measures and directions. If you want the recipe, skip right to the end below. I promise not to tattle on you.
