The Family Recipe That Connects Her to Home
Food became a way of preserving memory and belonging.

Some recipes are really memories written in ingredients. For me, homemade soup brings to mind cool fall days gathered around the table with family and friends, sharing good food, conversation, and fellowship; and every time I make it, I'm reminded that some of our simplest traditions create the most lasting memories.
When someone asks me what family recipe connects me to home, my answer will always be kolaches. Especially my Mimi's sausage kolaches. Behind that simple family tradition is a story of immigrants who came to America with little, worked hard, loved their families, trusted God, and built a foundation that continued for generations.
