DOT COM SLASH STANDAGAINSTHUNGER. NEXT WEEK THANKSGIVING MAY NOT
BE EXACTLY WHAT MANY OF US ARE
ACCUSTOMED TO FOR OUR FAMILIES.
BUT WHILE THE TABLE MAY NOT BE
AS FULL WITH FAMILY MEMBERS,
IT'S STILL THE PERFECT TIME TO
GIVE THANKS AND CELEBRATE OUR
LOVED ONES.
LIFE CELL AND PARENTING EXPERT
CARRIE FRADU IS HERE NOW TO
SHOW US WAYS TO REMEMBER FAMILY
TRADITIONS AND ALSO EMBRACE NEW
ONES AND CREATE FUTURE MEMORIES
FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
HEY SHERRI, HOW ARE YA?
>> GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY
THANKSGIVING.
SO HOW DO WE KEEP THE OLD
TRADITIONS ALIVE THIS YEAR?
>> SO I LOVE THIS ONE.
I THINK MANY OF US YOU KNOW, WE
WILL RECREATE, YOU KNOW,
RECIPES THAT ARE PASSED DOWN
MAYBE FROM OUR MOMS BUT WHY
DON'T WE TECH TAKE IT A STEP
FURTHER THIS YEAR?
SO I'M ACTUALLY HOLDING A
HANDWRITTEN RECIPE BOOK FROM MY
GREAT GRANDMOTHER WHO I
ACTUALLY HAVE MEMORIES OF .
SHE PASSED AWAY WHEN I WAS 15,
BORN IN 1894.
SO MY MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER ANNA
AND I ACTUALLY RE-CREATED ONE
OF THESE RECIPES SPANISH BUN
WHICH ACTUALLY TURNS OUT IT'S A
SPICE CAKE SOMETHING I WOULD
NORMALLY MAKE FROM A BOX WE
RECREATE.
NOW THERE'S A CATCH IN THIS
RECIPE BOOK.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE
TEMPERATURE HOW LONG TO COOK
FOR.
SHE'S USING WORDS LIKE TAKE OFF
THE FIRE TO COOL.
SO WE KIND OF HAD A GUESS AT
THAT BUT I THINK AS A FAMILY.
ASK YOUR MOM GRANDMA GREAT
GRANDMA TODAY.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING
OLD.
AND OVER THE NEXT WEEKEND
ESPECIALLY THANKSGIVING DAY
RECREATE AN OLD MEMORY BECAUSE
AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PASS ON
MEMORIES OF MY GREAT
GRANDMOTHER TO MY GIRLS AS WE
WERE BAKING AND EMBRACE THE
PAST AND BRING FORWARD TO THIS
YEAR.
THAT'S AWESOME.
WE SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING
TO RECREATE PICTURES OF OLD AND
RECREATE IT PRESENT DAY.
SO THOSE ARE FUN.
THAT'S A FUN IDEA AND A LOT
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAID, THEY
HAVE THOSE RECIPES THAT ARE
SAVED FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
MAYBE THEY JUST MAKE THAT ONCE
A YEAR APPEARANCE AT THE
THANKSGIVING TABLE.
SO YOU HAD THE BUNS THAT
ACTUALLY SAID WAS LIKE A SPICE
CAKE.
YEAH.
CAKE. YEAH. SO THIS IS A SPANISH BOND THAT
TURNED OUT SPANISH BUN PER THE
1894 CIPE BOOK WITH IT'S A
SPICE CAKE.
SO I HAD IT WITH MY TEA THIS
MORNING .
I'LL BE ON IT.
VERY YUMMY.
>> THAT'S EXCITING.
THAT'S VERY NOSTALGIC AND COOL.
NOW I KNOW I'M HESITANT TO MAKE
A BIG MEAL BECAUSE IT'S JUST MY
HOUSE DOING THE DINNER.
YOU KNOW JUST FOUR OF US BUT I
DON'T WANT TO OVERCOOK AND BE
STUCK WITH TOO MANY LEFTOVERS
OR WASTED FOOD.
>> NO.
SO MAKE THAT TURKEY AGAIN.
I AM DOING A FAMILY OF FOUR
ALSO OUR PARENTS MY HUSBAND MY
PARENTS ARE NOT COMING THIS
YEAR SO I'M STILL GOING TO COOK
WHEN I NORMALLY MADE WHAT I'M
GOING TO DO SOME TAKEAWAY
PLATES WHEATHER I'M DOING IT IN
YOU KNOW IN SOME PLASTICWARE OR
PERHAPS A FESTIVE PLATE WITH
SOME TIN FOIL EITHER DROP IT

FRONT PORCH TO PICK MAKE THAT
TURKEY SO YOU CAN SHARE YOUR
FEAST STILL WITH YOUR FAMILY
