2012-13+Winter+Recipes

Each year brings new family gatherings, new members enter and some members exit. However, we know that family centers who we are, the lodges within our community that create tribes. We come home to family traditions, sometimes bringing new stories, ideas, artifacts into our lodges. Recipes are passed down through generations, often defining the gathering. Yesterday, I met with a gathering of educators and we shared a family recipe tradition of Thanksgiving, one that we anticipated as part of our families. We heard mincemeat pie, cornbread, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, cranberry stuffing, shrimp and oyster stuffing, fried oysters, turkey, carrot cake and others. Some groaned and some smiled to hear recipes shared by others. We had our favorites- and not so favorites. If you would like to save your recipes here, please request that you be added to the wiki. And happy cooking!
