Tasty, Delicious, and European
They say you learn a lot about yourself in isolation. I’ve decided to take it a bit of a different direction.
Hey, hi, and hello. Yesterday I decided that I would cook my way through my heritage and today I decided that I would make a blog about it! Honestly, I’m okay with nobody but myself ever reading this, but if you’re here and you’re someone other than me, WELCOME and thanks for coming. Anyway, I have ordered a DNA testing kit from ancestry.com, so I will be spitting in a tube very soon and then awaiting my results. In the meantime, ancestry.com offers a free 14-day trial of their database and family tree builder, so naturally I spent all day (literally) learning all about myself and my family.
I started by going back as far as I needed to on my family tree to find the first family member born in a country other than the United States and took that as a country of origin for that side of my family. Here’s what I found out so far (no DNA results yet, though):
On my mother’s side, the countries of origin were: Hungary, Slovenia, Poland
On my father’s side: Germany and Ireland
Until I get my DNA test kit back, these are the countries that I will be starting with! Let’s get this party started! If you’d like to learn some tasty dishes that you might not have known existed, then stick around 🙂

Let the feast begin! Love me some kraut…. and more….. ❤
