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
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
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.

Submitted by Beth Alyse Snyder, Owner and Executive Stylist at Guerrilla Makeovers. When I first moved from New England to California, I remember having lots of conversations about California culture with kids who had grown up here. There were so many differences between how we had lived our lives in the two places. What really stuck with me were the differences I discovered in the category of shared … Continue reading Part 1: West Coast Lemon-Sage Chicken in Wine
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”
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
