Thank Ellie, you are amazing! I love that you are making “Stoup” that works for you and eating so healthy to help your conditions. I also love how this corresponds with the kind of food your Croatian Baba made for you. <3 I just absolutely teared up at all your good thoughts and memories of Joe and my parents, too. Blessings to Lori on her path as well. Love you!

Thanks Veronica! I think you’ll really enjoy those videos–probably might remind you of your own family and their traditions. I brt you came up with something yummy along these lines in your own kitchen. 🙂 xoxo

I love this! Family recipes are so integral in many of our lives, and being able to adapt them to current ingredients and dietary preferences helps keep them alive throughout the generations. I love how you improvise and keep the essence of the original – and adding a side of cabbage and collards is divine. 🙂 I may make something like this tonight – hearty and filling and simple and warm. I hadn’t heard about Clara’s videos, but I will look for them! Thank you so much for sharing. xoxo

Hi Deb! That sounds like a delicious version as well! And yes, isn’t it lovely to see those knife skills and see our parents hands again through her hands? That is priceless. That grandson knew what he was doing as a film maker, bless his heart.

Thanks Susan, this makes me so happy! I thought of you as I was posting it, and that it might really speak to you. Glad you loved my nutmeg grater innovation too. 🙂 I think you’ll adore the videos. xoxo

I always have loved Clara;s videos. So I made this dish today much the same as you did, but added mixed frozen veg. When it was done I finished it off with a little cheez sauce (made with all kind of good things and cashews). Very simple, very filling.

I love watching Clara’s knife skills. My mom did the same, cut into her hand. A lot of mom;s had this skill and never cut themselves.

I love everything about this, from the finished dish right down to the fact that the cashew fits around the nutmeg grater! Now I’m looking forward to watching the videos. Sounds like comfort food for the soul.
