@shamrockgenealogist I have written about how my taste for KΓΌmmel traces back through my matrilineal line to a great-grandmother who immigrated in 1860 from East Prussia to St. Louis, and quickly found herself with no family members besides her new husband. Her Heimweh was only eased, I conclude, by cooking as she had back home, and her preference for caraway seed was then passed down mother-to-daughter, ultimately to me! #Genealogy #familyrecipes
This was such a fun article about how Margaret deciphered two 150 year old German recipes her 3rd great-grandfather wrote down.

I made my great grandmother's oatmeal cookies today. They are unique. The #secretingredient ? A shitload of flavors. Orange, lemon, almond, AND vanilla extract. #oatmealcookies #familyrecipes #baking

I'm making a childhood favorite casserole from my grandmother's index card recipe.
I'm pausing where she wrote "add next five ingredients" without specifying what they are.
Going to open a beer and ponder.
It wasn't until I had store-bought pecan pie that I finally realized why so many people have a strong dislike for it: it's far too sweet! My familyβs go-to recipe has way less sugar, some sour cream to tone it down further, and I've made it for years with no complaints.

What's on the holiday menu this year?
We're doing roast leg of lamb this year, but potato dressing will still be a feature (as always). I restocked my supplies when visiting Nova Scotia in November. ;)

@katjnz Will you add in short bios of the ancestors who the recipes are credited to? That would be a nice touch if you can #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #FamilyRecipes
