A Taste of Generations: My Mom’s Grandmother Used to Make These
Some recipes are more than just instructions written on a card — they’re heirlooms. They carry the scent of a family kitchen, the sound of stories told across the table, and the kind of love that only generations of hands can pass down. That’s exactly what this recipe is to me.
My mom’s grandmother used to make these. And from everything I’ve heard, she made them with care, patience, and the kind of old-world skill that doesn’t come from a cookbook — it comes from tradition.
Over the years, my mom made sure to learn it, memorize it, and preserve it. She didn’t just teach me how to make them — she taught me why they mattered. This wasn’t just a treat. It was something that connected us back to family roots, to memories of childhood, to a kitchen where ingredients were simple but love was abundant.
Every time I make these now, I think of the women who came before me — their strength, their warmth, and their wisdom passed down through something as humble (and as perfect) as a batch of these. It’s amazing how a single bite can feel like home, even if you’re miles away or years removed from where it all started.
Why I Still Make These Today:
-
They remind me of where I come from.
-
They taste like love, comfort, and history all rolled into one.
-
They’re a beautiful way to keep family stories alive.
Whether you’re making them for the first time or the hundredth, this recipe carries something special — the touch of generations. And if you're lucky enough to pass them on, you’ll know you're sharing more than food — you're sharing legacy.
