Sabaya – Yemenite Bread
Recipe shared by Leslie, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. My first food memory is baking a Challah bread with my grandmother, Fran, my sister, Rachael, and my Auntie Arlene. It’s a simple recipe and memory. However, when I think back to being in the kitchen with everyone, I instantly feel warm and smile. There was music on the radio, sunshine coming through the kitchen window and a … Continue reading Sabaya – Yemenite Bread
Yemenite Kubaneh – Breakfast Bread
Brought to Ancestreats by Avidan. When I think about every weekend breakfast with my family, and I mean every, the one item that is always on the menu and loved by all generations, is Kubaneh (say: koo-BAH-nah). It doesn’t matter where in the world we’re eating. If we’re together over a weekend, we’ll have this traditional Yemini slow-cooked Sabbath bread. It’s hard to describe what … Continue reading Yemenite Kubaneh – Breakfast Bread
Bourbon Punch Slushies
Recipe shared by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. On a hot summer evening, is there anything better than sitting with a slushy refreshment to cool you off? Yes. You add bourbon to it. As a child, I enjoyed time-frozen moments while scraping down a cherry Italian ice* with a small flat wooden paddle and while biting into a shaved-ice soaked with blue, green, and red syrups. Now … Continue reading Bourbon Punch Slushies

Diabetic-Friendly “Pad Thai”
Submitted by Mike H. One of the constant challenges for diabetics is what I’d term, food satisfaction. That is to say, how can we prepare or purchase meals that are both delicious and will not raise our blood sugar too much. As a glass-half-full person, I’ve used my diabetes as a catalyst to get creative in the kitchen. I love to eat. Period. And finding a way to recreate … Continue reading Diabetic-Friendly “Pad Thai”
Ketzitzot – Meatballs in Red Sauce
Submitted by Leah. Thinking back to my childhood through my newlywed years, meatballs were always served at special family meals. Both my mother and mother-in-law never strayed from the traditional recipe. Why would they? Everyone loved them so much, including me. If I had to guess they were probably prepared this way for several generations back. Then one lucky year, it was my turn to host the Passover Seder. It was … Continue reading Ketzitzot – Meatballs in Red Sauce
Palak Paneer (Spinach & Cheese Vegetable)
Submitted by Mony from BnB Chrysalis in New Delhi (Bed & Breakfast). I have known the founders of Ancestreats father for many years. While we have sort of stopped talking business sometime back, I treat him like a friend, with whom I can exchange thoughts and jokes and I realize how fortunate we have been in our own ways. One area in which we have always connected is … Continue reading Palak Paneer (Spinach & Cheese Vegetable)
Coffee with Hawaij
Submitted by Leslie. Growing up my sister and I spent a lot of time with our grandparents. When I think about them, I picture my grandmother making coffee and everyone hanging out in the kitchen. She called it “coffee and” time. The “and” was usually a pastry or bite of something sweet. When I made my first trip to visit my in-laws, I quickly learned … Continue reading Coffee with Hawaij
