Cannelloni Chronicles: How Pasta Stuffed My Heart (and Stomach). AI-Generated.
Some dishes transcend taste. They carry memories, traditions, and the warmth of shared moments. For me, cannelloni isn’t just pasta—it’s a love letter from my nonna’s kitchen, wrapped in dough and smothered in sauce.

The Top 15 Snack Foods You'll Find In Germany
What Americans think of when they hear the term "snack," they think of common staples such as chips, cakes, cookies, candy bars, and sodas. Americans also don't think of street carts and markets as a great source for snacks and quick bites. But when you're in Germany, snacks look a little bit different and come in a lot of different varieties.

Millet Ugali, Kienyeji, and Mursik
Introduction Nestled in the scenic hills of Kenya’s Rift Valley is the Kalenjin community—a group known not only for their remarkable prowess in long-distance running but also for a rich culinary heritage that has been passed down through generations. At the heart of this culinary tradition lies a dish that encompasses the very essence of Kalenjin culture: a harmonious blend of ugali made from millet and maize, vibrant kienyeji vegetables, and the refreshing mursik, a traditional fermented milk drink. This dish is more than just sustenance; it is a profound symbol of community, identity, and resilience, anchored in the historical journey of the Kalenjin people.

Turkey is making fake honey on an alarming scale.
Turkey is making fake honey on an alarming scale. Turkey one of the world's largest honey producers is facing a crisis as counterfeit honey floods the market. With an annual production of around 115,000 tons Turkey ranks second globally after China in honey production. The country's honey industry is valued at approximately €270 million $283.4 million with Germany and the United States being the largest importers. However the rise of adulterated honey containing sugar syrups artificial sweeteners and other additives has cast a shadow over the sector. This fraudulent practice not only threatens the integrity of Turkish honey but also poses risks to international markets where counterfeit honey could be unknowingly sold to consumers. The production of fake honey has been an ongoing issue but recent reports indicate that the problem has escalated. Turkish authorities have confiscated tons of adulterated honey with a total estimated value of around €25 million. In September 2024 police raided a facility in Ankara uncovering 8,150 tons of glucose fructose and sugar used in honey adulteration. Additionally they found 100,000 labels for different brands suggesting a large scale operation to distribute counterfeit products under legitimate brand names. The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture has identified 43 honey producers involved in adulteration and two of these manufacturers supply their products to major supermarket chains.

The Miracle of Three Fish and a Can of Beans
Food has always been more than mere sustenance; it’s a bridge to history, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to faith. The dish I call The Miracle of Three Fish and a Can of Beans is rooted in both personal experience and a biblical inspiration—the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes with five loaves and two fish. For me, this recipe is more than a meal; it represents survival, resourcefulness, and the unshakable belief that even the smallest provisions, when used wisely, can be enough.

My Mom's Stroganoff. Honorable Mention in A Taste of Home Challenge.
Most people have a favorite comfort food they like to eat. It can be a sweet dessert, chocolate, mashed potatoes, just about anything from Thanksgiving dinner. Some dishes are cultural, something that reminds them of family and home. Others are just for the taste or mouth feel of the food item. I know when my husband is having an off day, he wants macaroni and cheese. A perennial favorite with kids and adults alike. You can never do wrong with the orange-yellow noodle-y goodness.

My Mom's Picadillo
One of the things I hate most about recipes online is the long story that comes before it. The entire history of where the ingredients for a butter cake come from, the author’s entire food-on-the-road blog, or everything that’s happened in the world since it was formed. A lot of advertisements floating around the sides or in between the text. Then follows the general ingredients, and more dialogue. A few photos. THEN you get the recipe measures and directions. If you want the recipe, skip right to the end below. I promise not to tattle on you.
