BAKED MONSTER EYES
Recipe shared by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. When my little boys were in preschool, I was tapped to make their classes a Halloween recipe booklet to share with the other families. We moms shared the recipe prep and threw the kids a silly party with creepy imaginative treats many of you have come to love at Halloween parties. There was the kitty litter surprise (baked cake … Continue reading BAKED MONSTER EYES
Nana’s Beef Brisket
Brought to Ancestreats by Rachel Kaufman from Heeling Vibes. This recipe has been in my dad’s family for several generations–my mom learned it from my Dad’s mom, Rose Freedman. I’d like to think that when Rose’s mom, Bessie Ruth, moved to America from Eastern Europe she brought the recipe with her, at least in her head/heart. I have fond memories of eating my Nana’s brisket … Continue reading Nana’s Beef Brisket
Lamb Chops and Lemony Potatoes
Recipe share by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. Who needs teething rings when you can gnaw on lamb chops? My father regales my children with a charming tale of how lamb chop bones were given to me when I was cutting my baby teeth. The story goes that I would be given a bone and gnaw it clean, refusing to give it up long after any rewarding … Continue reading Lamb Chops and Lemony Potatoes
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
Mom’s Fish Chowder
Brought to Ancestreats by Barbara Roy. The recipe card clearly states: “Mom’s Fish Chowder.” This is one of the very few recipes I have recorded straight from my mother’s lips. She used to be a fine cook and manage to feed 6 kids and a husband on a shoestring budget. My mom’s got Alzheimer’s now and can’t talk anymore, so I am especially glad to have this … Continue reading Mom’s Fish Chowder
Strawberry Banana Trifle
Recipe shared by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. Our family recently received a dinner party invitation by friends while my mother happened to be staying with us for a visit. The hostess included her, and requested that we bring a dessert that would please lots of people: including a dozen or so kids under 4 years-old. Cue the reminiscing with mom about days gone by, and what … Continue reading Strawberry Banana Trifle
Family Fantástico Ecuadorian Arroz con Pollo
Submitted by Ana. Great recipe to try when you have left over chicken and rice. In our family we typically make this when there’s a large family gathering. We consider it comfort food. Always good and home made. If I had to recall a memory from this it would be my summers with my Ecuadorian family. My aunt or Grandma would make this either as … Continue reading Family Fantástico Ecuadorian Arroz con Pollo
#CooksTip: Preserving Lemons
#CooksTip provided by Amanda @ Maroc Mama Preserved lemons are the ingredient that makes Moroccan cuisine what it is. A Moroccan pantry simply cannot exist without a jar of preserved lemons. Most often they are used in tajines though you will also find them in salads and fish dishes. #CooksTip for Preserving Lemons: After you have gathered your lemons, salt, and clean air tight sealing container (the only ingredients needed), begin … Continue reading #CooksTip: Preserving Lemons
