For context, I’m Hungarian, Dutch and Irish, so I’m not entirely sure where my love for … More Looking to add more fibre to your diet? Consider this pasta
My family has been involved with our local Hungarian Hall in Brantford, Ontario, for quite literally decades now.

For most of my life, I was blissfully unaware of the fact that I have Irish roots. My mom’s father was from Belgium and her mother was from Holland, and both of my dad’s parents are from Hungary. A couple of years ago, my mom, sister and I got my dad a DNA ancestry kit … More How much do you know about Ireland?

A few nights ago, my mom served our family and me a Hungarian cucumber salad for dinner. Perhaps I should add that there were more food items than just cucumber salad. We are not being rationed, at least, not to my knowledge. We also had hash browns and fish. It is quite possible you’ve never … More Read this to learn how to make Hungarian cucumber salad
My family and I have some Hungarian roots, courtesy of my dads side of the fam jam. My dads father was a first generation Canadian as his father emigrated to Canada from Hungary a ways back, and we still have a solid amount of family over there, whom we have had the pleasure of visiting … More Have you been to Budapest in Brantford?
