Well how kind of you to say so. I hope you make it yours and pass it on from generation to generation. I created that because no one in my Navajo family knew exactly what measurements were. They would just get this get that and mix it and it was amazing. So one day when my Bizhi was making frybread. I got a small bowl for every ingredient she just measured by sight. The outcome was incredible and that is what we got. It was so exact I sat in disbelief. I did it again twice a day later and again it was exact to the bone. So like others say, their mothers and grandmothers never measured and I can now see why. So wonderful and a tribute you have given my Bizhi. Thank you sweet one! New Year hugs with prosperity, healing, health and peace, beauty, balance and harmony to fill you thru out the next 364 days! Love you. Navajo Grandma
I know, the first video I clicked on was of this middle aged white guy, and then I saw this video below it and I hurried on over here. Why would I go anywhere else?
Hi sweetheart this is me, Navajo Grandma, I appreciate your comment. I hope you try to make this. It's now your recipe. Enjoy. When your low on money sell it and or make Navajo tacos. Serious. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I am 66 year's old and recovering from a fire that took my life. God gave it back. You remind me of my mother. She was beautiful and she made sure I knew I was loved. We lived on a small Reservation in Oregon. It was a two room shack with a tin can roof, no running water, and a massive cast iron cook stove in the middle. Soon after we moved there people discovered mom could cook! I remember waking to the slapping sound in the morning's often before dawn. The smell of fry bread and "fixin's". There would alway's be people waiting to buy her food. She would sing blessing song's in time with flattening the bread. I wasn't raised in poverty! We had good and simple food. We had the best outhouse too. It was a two seater! Mom bought two toilet seats from Goodwill for ten cents. She said the only reason she spent so much money on the toilet seats was so she wouldn't worry about my falling in! My mom, in my eye's she is still the most beautiful, hardest working, loving woman in the world. You remind me of her! I miss her! Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories! A'HO 💚
O Marsha, I could wrap my grandma arms around you so tight. I hope you feel grandmas love as I make these videos for each of you my channel grandchildren. Your comment melted my heart, pulled at my heartstrings sweetheart. But what a beautiful vision, a simply beautiful outlook at what others would deem lowly when to us simplicity was love, hard work was life but precious and we loved one another. May Heavenly Father love, comfort and keep you always to protect you. You are in my prayers with protection. Now smile and lift your precious mind from your beautiful remembering and get a pen, write your heart down, your heart full of absolutely precious memories. Promise grandma. Love n Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I thank you both. I have found that the wealthy live their lives on attaining wealth and keeping it no matter the cost. There are the people who have nothing but are willing to take what others work hard for. But, then you have those that don't see dollar signs in everything! They don't really have much monetarily, however are rich in love, wealthy in culture and covered with love and compassion(had a small war with spellcheck, it was determined to say constipation instead of compassion)from family and friends! No one on that small reservation (400 acres)had much. And the Tue night gatherings were murder!(venison chilli, venison tacos, venision and beans with beans and venison mystery something all with BEANS) If you were a kid there was no escape. Ventilation wasn't a big issue back then. But, the laughter and gentle teasing, the music and dancing, the being together made us incredibly rich and happy. Navajo Grandma, sharing thing's the way you do with everyone is a wonderfull blessing! Keep on doing what you are! Teach others how to do it. I think you are pulling everyone together. I am Cherokee and Paiute! And now live in Eastern Washington. We are everywhere! I am sharing you with all the people I know. We need you! A'HO 💚
@@NavajoGrandma I just found your channel today and I'm so glad I did. I'm now a subscriber. I'm Cherokee, Souix (Lakota) and Navajo however it goes very far back so I don't look like I have any native American blood in me at all. Unfortunately none of the tribal ways or languages have survived in my family so all I have is what I find in videos such as this. Many blessings to you my new friend!
@@babygrandma8654 it's surviving. Like beads and threads of days gone by traded between the nations of turtle island now it is memory traded here in you tube. We are all one people made by the Creator inspired and protected by Great Spirit. The Earth is our mother. Even look to the Holy Bible, God the Father and Creator reached to the Earth and sculpted Adam. We all have the same Heavenly Father and Earth as our Mother. Unfortunately, the original fork tongue (serpent) has only made marital conflicts and sibling rivalries from begining days.
It's long overdue...to find authentic first people of the americas presenting their recipes... rather than a rash of caucasian videographers flooding the web making native american cuisine. Thank you for sharing🙂
She's using Caucasian domesticated wheat flour, and Caucasian invented baking powder to make a type of bread that Navajo like to eat. The ancestors of American Indians were Caucasians 30,000 years ago in Eastern Europe and Asia. Europeans, North Africans and West Asians generally descend from Ancient West Eurasians. Ancient North Eurasians split from West Eurasians less than 30,000 years ago and migrated towards Siberia. Your Caucasian ancestors were Ancient North Eurasians. Don't be so divisive.
Now Now Trucking Ty, you do have a Navajo Grandma and here I am!!! Do you dare think I am not your grandma. I am as you have become a subscriber! You are wonderful and grandma loves you so. Thank you for watching and hope you try making this frybread dough and seeing all the different ways you can enjoy eating this versatile dough (cooked I mean LOL!). I welcome you and I always say, come sit next to grandma and warm your feet next to the fire, watch, listen and learn. You are my grandchild and I am happy to add more. That is a grandma's heart, room for more. Love always. Navajo Grandma
@@the2dreamers Thank you for acknowledging this. Grandma does love and prays for you always. Its important, wise and necessary. Hugs forever. Navajo Grandma
I'm a 63 year old man. I used to watch my mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, aunties and uncles make fry bread dough. Mines not like yours but at least we are still here! Blessings ❤
@PaulCozad Paul "you are still carrying on the tradition!" Love & hugs for your tradition. What lovely family togetherness, memories bound all of your family. Reading your lovely comment shows you watched, you were there, you all were together then enjoying happy hunger and lovely food made by your family make this so much more delicious and filling. How blessed you were and still are. I hope you have children to share your childhood traditions & lovely memories. I sure did. Write these moments down for posterity, there is nothing like HOME, PARENTS, HOMEMADE FOOD & MEMORIES created around the table or just with one another. Thank you for sharing!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
My grandson is getting ready to go to Washington DC on the first of February with the National Honor society. I'm a proud grandpa here. I'm so sure you're proud of your grandchildren too. Keep cooking grandma. Love you forever and forever and always.
@PaulCozad You see what happens with family. Eat together, make food together, loving one another and see how your little ones are healthy, smart & outstanding!! Only goodness comes from family!! Great reply!! Navajo Grandma
I'm not Tribal but you have no idea how much it means to me for people to pass down family/generational recipes. My Mom & Grandmothers took all of their recipes to their graves. Nothing was ever written or measured, & when these wonderful women left this world, so too went their equally wonderful food. Thank you. I look forward to your other delicious recipes.
What you spoke is true. It’s up to us to preserve our traditions, our knowledge of our grandparents, your remembrance to write them down and cherish them with family. Thank you for watching and learning. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
So true-- I lost the cookbooks, my mom's recipes, my recipes, all of the magic involved in cooking and baking. They were the foods that connected people and events over more than a century. All gone in a fire. *Please, please, please, keep copies in separate locations.* Out of all that was lost, the recipes are what I miss the most. *MAKE COPIES!*
@@Rockymountainhoney1 Why is it shameful to make a living with a skill that no one else has, that you learned from your ancestors, that others enjoy? You are both A) teaching others the food of your culture, and B) making a living doing it........that's not wrong.
My dad made the best homemade biscuits and for some reason he wouldn't let me watch or tell me how he made them. I know basic biscuit dough is simple but I still haven't come close or found another that comes close to how his tasted!
My grandmother never measured either. She taught me to make things by "a little mound in the palm of your hand" She made me understand "a soft dough" and a Hard dough" Love this!
@Chapman-tw1ok Awwww this is more and more common when you grow up around grandparents and alot didn't. SAD but wonderful for you. Mom also teach us great measuring guidelines too Great timely hugs. Navajo Grandma
How wonderful family recipies still exist. My family didn't pass anything down except alcoholism lol. Thank you for documenting this. A treasure for humanity. Peace be with you.
This was a great comment, thank you for being the one who is positive and thankful for goodness and throwing out the bad. You recognize what was wrong and maybe what went wrong, that makes you the top percentile and that you will be amazing in 2024!! And even now!! When our eyes are opened, we need to be the best and be absolutely as wonderful as we desire!! I pray for you to have a great year of remembering, writing down goodness, having great healing and health, praying always, being kind and loving, forgiving yourself and your family for whatever they may have done or chose to do that might seem off color to you, the joy is that you won't repeat the wheel! I love that you see clearly. This is what makes your comment absolutely one in a million. I hope you take the time to make this frybread. Lots of carbs, just don't get addicted okay? HAPPY NEW YEAR HUGS FROM NAVAJO GRANDMA!!! Love you.
So welcome from Navajo Grandma. Learn how to make frybread and smell and eat the taste of home in New Mexico. Just don't get addicted LOL!! HUGS, Navajo Grandma
Its almost 5 am. Ive been ive since 2 am. Ive got some flu or something. Im sick as well as my husband and kids. Your channel popped up. I absolutely adore you. You are such a sweet soul. My parents are both passed on. I miss the "mother ways" that i see in you. I hardly have any family. My husband and kids but extended family isnt good. I wish i lived by you to just sit laugh learn and talk. Your family is truly blessed to have you. Keep the videos comin. My husband is full Caddo and i make fry bread/ndn tacos, meat pies, ndn corn, vety often for him and fried pies for dessert. Im Italian so ive always got something cookin! Much much ❤ from Oklahoma. ~Amanda Michelle ~💕 A-ho
Hi there my dearest Amanda, my beautiful Italian Princess. Thank you for finding Navajo Grandma, me, while you were sick and I pray as you drink plenty of water, like a big fat glass full every 1/2 hr, and you pee like a sieve, you will get over it quicker. Anytime I have the sniffles, I drink tons of water, I take vitamin C, and another pill that totally gets me peeing, sorry for saying whats true but you will pee a lot, what are grandma's for right? But its true, pee galore and wash that crap out. Most folks don't do this and suffer. I then drink water and not soda and it is tempting I tell you but water washes us out. There is a Professor at Brigham Young University who invited a Jewish Hollocaust victim, who was the only one who lived until a year ago he died. I heard him and wept. He said while he was behind bars with tons of other Jewish men, the guards didn't give them water. Each Jewish man was given a cup for water. So when this man asked for water, the guards would take the cup and piss into the cup then give that back to him. He said he had no other choice, so he prayed over the urine. Then he drank it. He said God blessed it, it tasted like fresh water and that is how he survived. Others did too but most had not the faith. Thus when they would get sick, he would get urine from the guards and he would bless the urine and the person would drink it and say, "where did you get that fresh water?" He told them the guards helped him. Then they would get well as he had them drink as much as they could or as much as the guards would pee. Now it may seem disgusting, but truly the body had cleansed it and then adding prayer, it was made whole thru faith. You are prayerful I hope and that is also another good thing because you take your water and bless it if you have the sniffles or sick, hopefully you catch it in time, then bless the water. Ask God to cleanse it to hydrate you or your family and to wash out any sickness because its for health and safety and more so when you have children and it spreads quickly. Protect yourself. I have done this when raising 7 children by myself. I put my hands on their little heads and blessed them and their fevers were lifted. It was always too late in the night or early morning to get help. So that was what I did. It requires faith sweetheart. Do this with wisdom and believe. Faith is believing in something you do not see and that is why it is hard for man to have faith. But believe. thank you again for taking the time to write. Thank you for subscribing and yes I wish I lived next door as all my subscribers say, it would end up as a commune LOL!! There is goodness in this land and in our lives it just takes us to pull it out and use wisdom and maintain our faith in God. Pray always my dear one. Love and hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Sabrina, you are so kind to compliment Grandma's counting, even that makes grandma happy. I am glad you took the time to watch this video and maybe later you can try making this. You can't mess it up. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I did today please tell me how to fix the consistency of my dough mine came out sticky 😆 but I will give it another try. I thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us I wish I didn’t suck so bad 😂. May God bless you Navajo Grandma ♥️
@@Bigbodybri If it is too sticky did you sprinkle a little more flour on it? Apply a little at a time until the dough becomes more pliable. Not too much flour. Try a tablespoon at a time, mix it in and knead it, then if it is still sticky, do another tablespoon. Once it doesn't sticky all over, then it should roll into a ball. cover it, let it sit for 20 minutes covered with a dish towel and I put a plate on top of the dish towel. Let it rise then it should be nice and soft and ready to roll out. Love you for trying and asking grandma questions. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Welcome to Navajo Grandma’s channel. I welcome you and know your people like Naive Americans have gone thru more than you and your people have experienced. Tho through suffering it has made us strong. I love that you make your bread for family. Great comment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Non tribal and most African-American but mannn how much i love learning about my native(blackfoot) roots and learning abt native culture in general. My grandmother lost touch with her roots as a child and the gatekeeping of the culture is understandable, but your channel has been a blessing for me being displaced on both sides of my ethnic background. Thank you again, and much love❤🙌🏿
There is always a way to learn and a way for us to accomplish knowing where we came from, who we are and in defining ourselves. God bless and remember your prayers that your ancestors will come forth and show themselves to you. Navajo Grandma
@williamclark9442 did you know that in Africa, they make a similar bread called Chapati. I think the indigenous peoples across the world all have connections in some way 😊
@jessiegutowski316 my dear Jesse we are all similar indeed. WE ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY, we all have the exact SAME ROOTS THRU OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. So imperative to see the beautiful secular differences here on earth BUT SPIRITUALL ONE GREAT CHILDREN OF OUR DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER & HEAVENLY PRECIOUS MOTHER. We are here on this earth being tested to see if we remember truly from whence we came. Only 2 powers here, Satan & God. Which one do you think SEPARATES US and WHICH JOINS US AS ONE FAMILY FROM MILLENIAS AGO? Navajo Grandma
Welcome and great comment. You are family tho your tribe or nationality is separate in this mortal life, we feel the spiritual connections as we learn about each other's culture ,& traditions my grandson. You keep learning and being receptive. Your desire to learn will bless your life. Remember to pray always as well. Always ask to know truth. Allow God to guide you to your true heritage. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma thank you so much for saying this! There's so much division lately. If everyone would just take this to heart and realize that we all come from the same place, we are all connected, the world would be a better place. ❤
I’ve always admired the native people of this land and the wisdom of nature and culture. I’m peasant second generation from Polish farmers. We lived close to the land and were not from much. I always loved getting greens and mushrooms from the fields and woodlands. Most Americans do not know this way of life. At 73 I still do it as much as possible. I love seeing how your culture ate and surprisingly it got similar ideas. I’ve always felt you guys got royally screwed by this government. I pray you have a long blessed life and everything you need. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
@Murphis55 You expressed your lovely foraging self so lovely. Yes our ancestors taught us right, it's just we didn't hand these wonders down. I am guilty of it. My children don't speak Navajo and Japanese & hawaiian fluent at all. But what you spoke is pure truth. Now all American Indians understand is dependency. It's awful!! No spirituality but Greed, Control & Power. It's sad. But for me & my house there is still foraging and how mother nature is a Gof send. Sending hugs to you from Navajo Grandma
I’m Native/indigenous Mexican/Spanish (Tarahumara and others). My parents always taught us we have indigenous roots and I’m finding out more all the time. Our culture and languages were taken for us a long time ago. My husband is part Tlingit. I love the similarities of Mexican recipes to fry bread. This is on the menu tonight! ❤️
Oooh Veronica this is what I like to hear. This is wonderful frybread and yes it is close to sopapillas but the spanish use way tons more lard for this than what the Dine' do. But the taste, oh my the taste!! Yup we are similar and we are family. Hugs to all natives no matter where. Hugs to all from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma it was delicious! My got out of the hospital with covid, so I made it for her. We are Tarahumara, Otomi and a bit Pima. Looking forward to more recipes. It’s Pow wow season-there are two big ones here, coming up. More good food lol. Hugs to you!
@@NavajoGrandma hi! I live in Southern California. The Morongo band has a huge Pow wow in a few weeks and welcomes many tribes to participate. We also have San Manuel Pow Wow and they welcome native people from all over. I believe there are more coming up.
@@veronicahernandez7322 Wow its wonderful to finally have Pow Wows now that this covid thing is hopefully over and we need to still take precautions no matter what. Grandma still wears a mask and I am sure people stare and hate me doing this but I did this long ago long long ago. When I went to church and did things I kept picking up sicknesses until I started wearing masks. I did this long ago. When I went to Japan this is what they did back in the 70s and 80s. They have mask and condom dispensers everywhere on the streets. Silly but if someone is caught sneezing or coughing they get fined. Back then in the 80's when I was there that is what happened. Mainly to protect the population because its a butt to butt cheek to cheek train ride and walk everywhere back then. Hope you stay safe and enjoy those Pow Wows for Grandma!! Pow Wow Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love this recipe. I am Pomo/Wailacki from Northern California and have always struggled with making great fry bread. My grandma passed when I was young so I didn’t get a chance to learn from her. As you may know a lot of people are very protective of their recipes and it is crazy that the recipe can vary so much since it usually has the same basic ingredients! So thank you For sharing your recipe with me. My family says it’s my best fry bread ever!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to remember your wonderful grandmother. I fee I have succeeded if this has been a lovely memory. Write your memories down, enjoy the later or to share with your posterity or family as a birthday gift of memories but something memorable. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My next videos will involve defining myself, a sober one, then excitedly moving towards Grandma shearing a sheep for you all. This is an opener with videos on the weaving loom, rugs, carding and spinning dowel with weaving accessories. Its getting exciting to learn more about Dine' textile. Please watch and learn. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My Mother in taught me this and how she made corn fritters, with plain fine cornmeal white or yellow cold water and salt... They are a delicious favorite that has been passed down from one generation to another...Thanks I enjoyed the video reminded me of my late beloved mother in law ..
@@Warriarwomen45 I love that when we share we are reminded of our past and how wonderful and amazing our associations with our family members were and what they taught us. Sad we don't realize that until they are gone. I pray grandma is waking up all so they don't allow this again. Love you. Navajo Grandma
This is wonderful when I am happy that you are receptive enough to experience your memories that bring joy to your soul & spirit. Thank you for sharing this memory and it's heartstrings. I love you all for being here as our Navajo Grandma family. Happy Holiday Hugs!! My blessings is that you shall be most Prosperous this NEW Year. Be wise with what you will receive. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I made your recipe on my ship and every sailor loved it!!!! I love learning about foods from all over the world, and this is a fast, easy, and happy addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard the USNS Mary Sears!
My dear Barbara what a treat for you making my mom's recipe. This thrilled me. So happy you enjoyed it as you are a marvelous cook then. How blessed is the crew. Thank you for sharing. Are you living upon the water? Wow. My assumption. Sorry. But great comment and I send my frybread hugs!! 😊 Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma I live onboard for 4 months at a time! I've been a sailor, first with the US Navy and now as civilian contractor, for 23 years! Thank you so much for this recipe! I quadruple it and there is never any left over!
Thank you for your wonderful & easy recipe🤗 Watching a Navajo nation video I saw the creator of that video & a sheriff eating this bread & I was like: Ok, I need this recipe now🤪& I am not making any other one, I am saving your authentic recipe, I will make it later & if I share it on my channel of course I will give you the credit for it. Thanks again🤗
So glad I found your channel. I'm Indigenous Mexican (Nahua)and like others, I can see the similarities. I've yet to try fry bread but looking forward to trying your recipe, and of course as we know, everything tastes better when it's made with grandma's love ❤
Welcome!! This is Navajo Grandma. I am so happy and hope you did subscribe. Yes, we are all family and our familial ways, culture, traditions are similar for everyone across the board or earth. Welcome again and always comment when you can after watching my videos. I will always answer you. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma I finally made fry bread today. It gave me a little trouble at first, as do tortillas sometimes lol but in the end, they came out great! I decided to use them to make Venison BLT's. It was delicious! Thank you again for sharing your recipe ❤
@jessiegutowski316 oh my can Grandma come over!! Sounds so delish!! Great job and thank you for being grateful, so few are nowadays. Bon Apetite or in Navajo "thlikaango eyaa!" LOL!! Navajo Grandma
Hi there, some folks would agree with your statement and some would not as I get hate comments about high cholesterol, awful carbs, diabetes and why am I encouraging this and that. Well if you eat this day in and day out, yes, but there is also moderation in all things. I eat this now and then, probably twice a year or less. But again this is what the white folks addicted Navajos to by giving free government food in place of what these Navajos were eating so natural and vegan. They were told it was awful and why they were skinny and malnutritioned when they were healthy! Oh well thank you and sorry but this had to be said. Enjoy and always pray over your food. God always blesses your food and ask for it to be sanctified for your body. Enjoy and love and hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love comments like this because it does tug at our hearts when the memories take us back to those who are gone or to those yesteryears that were spent and left happy thoughts, happy days, happy family and more. Happy to hear this took you back there to your childhood when things were simpler and it was fun and carefree to a certain extent. Happy thoughts. Axhehee. Navajo Grandma
Tried this tonight for dinner My dough didn't rise much but it still turned out great and extremely delicious! However, I made my pieces smaller so I could pick them up and eat them with my hands, served chili on top of the bread with cheese and sour cream. My dad says it's now his favorite way to eat chili. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heritage with us
Woo Hoo what a wonderful cook you are. I always say, "make this your recipe and enjoy it like you did with your dad. It is so delish!! Great report and so proud of you. This is now your recipe and hold to it dearly. Don't get addicted though. LOL! Hugs to you and your dad. Navajo Grandma
I also make fry bread with buffalo stew. That's my favorite. Try it sometime! I just make a regular vegetable stew: potatoes, carrots, green beans, lots of corn, beef stock, tomato sauce, seasoning and then chunks of buffalo meat. Let it slow simmer until the meat looks cooked. Buffalo has little to no fat. So it cooks faster than beef. Then scoop the stew onto your fry bread. It's heaven! 😄
My mom has been disabled for around a year now and she cant cook for now and she's been mentioning fry bread I'm gonna use your recipe this week to give her what she's been wanting as a surprise. Hope I make it right. Thank you for your hard work making the videos and helping me to be able to bless her. 🙏❤🧡
What a good soul and daughter you are!! You give me Hope in civilization. When you use my recipe, put all dry ingredients together, mix, if you want to make a crater in the dry ingredients and put 1/4 cup of olive oil it's up to you. Then use warm warm water. Start with 2 cups, mix just enough to wet the dry flour mix. Add another 1/2 cup, about here you can start to feel if you need more water or not. Knead gently into a ball. Cover let sit for 30 minutes then use whatever oil you want. Put flour on table roll out the ball of dough. Your oil should be 375 degrees. Fry golden and place on paper towel. ENJOY!! Tell your dear mother, Navajo Grandma wishes her a happy meal and I will pray for her. Hugs to you both!! Navajo Grandma
I’m always amazed to watch you ,and other Navajo ladies, make fry bread and toss it back and forth so effortlessly . I’ve tried that over the years and just can’t get it down. (Maybe I started too late in life 😅) I haven’t seen others letting theirs rise,so I think I’ll try your way . I really love the fry bread. Thank you.
Hi John, I am happy that you enjoy watching women making frybread or even just cooking. Its the greatest delight as to what the outcomes are always so good. Just to let you in on the truth -- its not that we allow the dough to rise, its the ingredients need to permeate one with another and allowed to soften and somewhat rise, but its not yeast or anything like it. Its just allowing time to give us time to prepare to cook or fry it I think. If you have ever seen it, when the dough is felt after 20 or 30 minutes it is soft and lovely. Hugs for your lovely comment. Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
We as mexicans "Im Mexican" make kind of that but we make like a thin thin layer bread "tortilla" we fri it and when it come out of the oil we bath the "(Buñuelo)" We mix sugar and cinnamon powder and I call it a sugar bath both sides and that's so good to eat with coffe ,or hot teas
My goodness, you look & sound so much like my own Mom, who I lost over 20 years ago; she was Cree. I'm truly amazed and you've warmed my heart! I'm definitely going to try this recipe and thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Bless you & your family, Navajo Grandma ❤️
Moms are amazing and their love is non replaceable. Thank you for sharing your heart. I want to thank you for this great comment. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
This is amazing. I was born in Mexico and it’s great to see the similarities we have in our cooking with Native Americans. This here is very similar to BUÑUELOS everything is the same except for the thickness of the dough at the end buñuelos are extended thin like a tortilla and normally we sprinkle sugar on both sides. They are great with coffee.
I just said that lol😉 I didn’t read your post. That’s because many of us are Native/Indigeneous Mexican. Many similarities. Especially as you get close to birder tribes.
Hi there! I don't know if I posted about this last year or the year before, but every year I share your video with your recipe to my 3-6 grade classes (I'm an elementary school librarian). I read Kevin Noble Mailllard's book Fry Bread first (his recipe in back of the book is different from yours). The kids love watching the video. it's a tradition now. The fun thing is that my school community is 90% Spanish speaking from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, etc, and the kids ALL recognize what you are making and making connections to food made at home by their mom's and grandmas and great grandmas. It's so important that they make the connections. I just thought you might like to know that your video is shown every year in November to hundreds of students in my school. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge-AND Recipe.💌
@georgiecamacho2782 Wow WHAT AN HONOR! But you need the commendation more, not I. I wish the governments honored teachers as they do in Japan. I went & lived there and when a sensei comes into a room, all bow. They are the most honored & the most highly paid as they teach generations of leaders. The parliament Prime Minister isn't even as honored as the sensei is. He bows to the sensei. Their pay is the greatest. I told pres. Clinton that many years ago & he snubbed at it. Such as well are mothers who also are creators, bear children coming close to death and what teachers they are to their posterity. The wise ones do. I am happy to hear you share my video yearly. It's humbling. Axhehee. Give my hugs to all students who watch these videos, tell them Navajo Grandma says, "enjoy the frybread but do not get addicted. And thank you all for watching Navajo Grandma. Pray always over your food, prayer is a survival skill of the Native American Indians. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma!"
We make our food with our jewelry. We also scrub our hands and jewelry when it's time to cook. That was in my day, don't know what people do nowadays. Navajo Grandma
Oh… I could be your cousin or sister or maybe even Auntie- too old to be a grandkid. I woke up this morning homesick, made a cup of dark roast coffee and wanted fry bread. I make it but with yeast because I make a big batch of bread when I do it. It is kind to my heart to watch you on your kitchen. I store my flour the way you do. I have revere ware pans on my counter- I mix all my breads with my hands. I could be back home in S.Dakota at my auntie gladys. Be Safe- The Creator sent me home for a bit this morning- to your warm kitchen. I am grateful 🌻
Well did you get it for Christmas? I say if you want it learn how to make it. Grandma shared her recipe and make it yours, use whatever ingredients and enjoy. Just do not get addicted. My Grandma Surgeon General advice. LOL
Why is it that our Grandma's were the best cooks ever, and like Navajo Grandma never used any measuring tools at all. Man, I do miss my Grandma's cooking. ( And her most of all )
Grandma's have learned their lessons and are wise because of the lives they have lived. Maybe perfect and some not so perfect moments but we learn how to accept life and make it better. Food being one of them. Your grandma misses you too, remember that. Navajo Grandma
I'm hungry, now, you are such a natural, humble, human being, thank you, I will try this, I've stood in line, at pow wows, but now I will make my own, Thank you Navajo Grandmother...😊
GREAT COMMENT take the bull by the horn. Make your own! Great idea but sometimes someone else doing the job somehow tastes really good. Mom. But wisdom and frugality is smarter thus we make what we desire. Let me know how it turns out. No matter what it will taste so good! Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
Amy you hit the jack pot, what you just spoke is pure truth. I salute your dignity. You subscribers are so full of amazing wisdom it melts my heart each time I read these. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I know how you feel is true as I miss my momma too. I did learn some cooking skills but was always playing baseball with the little league teams with my brother. I was the first Navajo girl who played in the Connie Mack World Series in Farmington, NM. My mom was always there and when I got married, she said, this is why you needed to learn how to cook. She didn't know I was watching and I had no problem except I didn't like cooking I loved t he outdoors, thus I cook and play and enjoy the outdoors as I did all my life. You and I and mostly everyone do love our momma's and we shall see and know them again. Thats a promise. Love & hugs. Navajo Grandma
I grew up eating “Indian tacos” all the time as a kid. The fry bread is just so delicious… it’s my favorite food of all time! I haven’t had it in a long time living on the east coast. I can’t wait to make this! Thank you for sharing!
I enjoyed your comment and yes, Navajo Tacos don't show up in the East but in the west, California surprised me. Glad you have the recipe, now make it yours and use whatever ingredients you need and enjoy. Remember its full of carbs so take it easy, enjoy now and then with moderation. Its always good every time you make it and eat it!! Tomorrow I am making Navajo Tacos for my son's friends and us. Yum. Enjoy. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
They served the tacos at the Medicine River Pow Wow this past weekend. So good! I hadn't had them since I left the west a year ago. Thanks for sharing your recipe! ❤
That is awesome! Oh man, you just made me hungry. I know how delish it is. The smell even better. The smell always had Mom or Grandma written all over it with love in our nostrils. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Hi Janice, welcome to the family. Thank you for your compliment and I hope I am doing okay teaching you what grandma learned being on the reservation with my Nali and Bizhi. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Yes, these ways were amazing and home made. Cooked, fried, or dried outside. Those were the days when food tasted so much better because they came from our own hard work and during the winter we ate how wonderful it tasted. Great wisdom what you said. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are so welcome! As I always say, make this your recipe and enjoy. Remember moderation in all things as there are lots of carbs here but darn it, carbs make my day too. Yikes. and YUM!! Navajo Grandma
Hi Grand Ma !! My wife used to go to Navajo Nation for several years early 90's (chinle) and used to eat Navajo tacos at Tbird in Chinle... it's her birthday in a few days and I'm goind to prepare some Navajo Tacos for her......I'm very fortunate (to meet her...; for sure !!) to watch your videos, dear GrandMa. I wish I can bring my beloved wife to her second family, The Navajo Nation...; some days. Greetings from France !
Thanks for sharing, "now you are a good man!!" I love how you are caring and concerned with making some thing your wife truly enjoyed instead of lacy bras. LOL! Just kidding. Love you and your are a man to never forget. Women who are reading this, remember, this is a true man who loves his wife. Remember. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
My grandma was native to Navajo here out in Arizona! We always loved her fried bread with spices and kidney beans, lettuce, tomatoes and meat with lime juice! I miss her very much and your recipe really brings back memories that I miss very much! Thank you so much Navajo grandma love you!
What wonderful memories that are happy thoughts now. Thank you so much for sharing and how you are making this fry bread as well. This is Navajo Grandma's recipe and pray that you will make it your own. I do explain that whatever you have on hand to make this is your own creation. There is another fry bread video that I made for a more healthy frybread. But you decide how to make this yours. Thank you again for sharing and God bless your grandma. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My sister dated a boy off a reservation and he would come over and make it for us and mom would make a pot of chili to go with it, I’ve got great memories of him coming over and all of us in the kitchen making Navajo fry bread, that’s been over 35 years but the memories are like it was yesterday, I’ve got a pot of chili going and now I’ll be making some of your bread to go with it, thank you for sharing.😇😇😇
Oh my gosh, did you ever watch the WALTONS, or maybe you weren't even born then. It sounds like a scene out of that series. They always said GOODNIGHT to each other at the end of the show. What happy wonderful memories. So 35 years is he still making frybread for you or is he making it for someone else? Just jokin. You just made grandma hungry as I can smell your chili all the way over her into my hostril!! Happy eating and make this recipe yours and enjoy!! Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Hello my dear Navajo lovely grandma.. I like this recipe a lot and I will make it for sure, thank you so much for being so sweet and for your smile. Please stay healthy and wel🌿💐🌱💞🍀🌻🌾❤
What a sweet kind comment from you Sofia. So happy to hear you watched and learned to actually desire to make this recipe. You will do a great job. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Now that is the best compliment ever. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ and he is my whole foundation and because of Him I am whom I am. I pray daily that although I am imperfect I ask for forgiveness and to mold me into being the salt of the earth like my ancestors. Yes, and thank you, Ahehee. Navajo Grandma
Heyyy, it's been a while since I've messaged you. Missed Ya! You know, I live in Texas, have for years, and it's so welcoming to see someone with my skin color, smiling and teaching and being open. You are Native like me and you just feel like home to me Grandma. God Bless You.
Welcome again and hope your life is well and you are finding joy in your life. Thank you for coming home to our Navajo Grandma family. The great state of Texas that gpa calls "heaven." Ha. I know those living in Texas are strong minded true Americans. Glad to know you have a suntan just like gma and yes, it is beautiful and glad you feel at home coming here and learning. Take special care. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you. Actually, even if you remember one ancestral anything, you can build upon it. Find others of the same heritage, it doesn't necessarily have to be family but befriend them, we all learn from one another. Never lose hope. Love you so. Go outside your circle & find what you thought was gone. I shall pray for you. Or create your own heritage customs & whatever is uplifting. Pray & ask for direction. No one is with out a heritage. If you believe in God. Now here is a true heritage & lineage that is eternal. Hugs with power. Navajo Grandma
This channel is the most beautiful celebration of your culture i have ever found! With all the trials and attrocities that have happened to the indiginous tribes all over the world (my own Sami included)makes it understandable why so many have anger in their hearts. But you are recognizing the anger for what it is - grief! Your grandchildren all avhe for a connection to their ancestors and i can tell you see that and are doing something about it. YOU are doing something to heal your grandchildren but with only love and kindness and sharing knowledge. It really comes through in your work. That spirit of love and service even shows in the comments which are mostly people thanking you and sharing their own stories (where other comment sections seem to only spread more negativity). I cant say this enough, you are a treasure and a blessing to EVERYONE and especially the grandchildren of your tribe. Love you! Thank you!
I have watched beautiful videos of the Sami tribe and how their living is no different from any tribe here. You are a sacred people. Love & hugs. Remain self empowering and resilient plus to let others know your beautiful tribe does still exist!! Love & hugs. Navajo Grandma
Make this recipe yours and thank you for being receptive enough to make this. Just do not get addicted do you hear? Lots of carbs. Moderation in all things now. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I'm from Hawaii, my Mother-In-Law taught me how to make fry bread for "Indian Tacos" (Navajo Tacos) here in Oklahoma. I've mastered the dough and the fix-ins for the tacos & OMG ... I love it ! & So does my Husband. ☺️
Tata One, I am so proud of you and if you ever use Navajo Grandma's recipe, I welcome you to make it your own and use whatever ingredients you desire. I also do have a healthy recipe video as well. But sometimes "healthy" doesn't do the frybread justice. LOL! Great comment and enjoy. "Try not to get addicted." Navajo Grandma
I am from Ky. My grandma taught me to make biscuits without measuring anything. We used flour, salt, soda, baking powder, lard or crisco, and buttermilk. My grandmas old snuff can was used as a biscuit cutter. Snuff used to come in narrow tin cans, but you can't find them anymore. I miss those tiny wonderful biscuits.
Oh Shrimpy Muscles, what wonderful memories you flooded back to my mind. Yes, I remember with all my heart. My aunties and uncles use to sneek those snuff cans into their pockets to hide from my grandpa, so while sheep herding they would walk around with bulges in their cheeks and brushed their teeth to death when they got home. I just watched and sometimes grandpa would find the snuff cans and yell at them to no avail because they kept it out in the hills. I can see why you were able to use them as biscuit cutters. Oh you need to write these things down. If you asked anyone now about your comment, they would look with duh. Thank you so much for this incredible amazing memory and wish I had one of those snuff cans even now just as a symbolism of my life experiences and the smell of it as a little child. I have to admit it smelled good but later in life found out that it caused cancer of the mouth, throat and lungs. So sad. Hugs galore for your wonderful comments. Thanks so much!!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma my grandma put the snuff down under her lip below her teeth. She lived into her late 90s. She took care of me til I was 5. She gave me a big spoon of a little sugar and a lot of 'coal oil' to stop pin worms. She made teas out of leaves, barks, and roots daily for me when I had polio. I did great and I was very blessed to have her
Your voice is very peaceful. I am neither Indigenous nor Mexican but I must have been in a past life because I love the foods and culture. Thank you...please keep teaching. ❤❤God Bless you and your family
Thank you! 😃 and yes, it doesn't matter who you are or what color you are, you are grandma's grandchild and you are welcome to desire to eat whatever you wish but with what? "moderation." Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Kelly I have been making this since I was a little girl. You are just learning or watching. Practice makes perfect. Hugs from Navajo Grandma, HAPPY NEW YEARS MAKE 2025 THE BEST.
I became addicted to Navajo fry bread at a PowWow 20 years ago (I am Cherokee). I went to Arizona and got the recipe from a Navajo store. Now I can make it myself and not have to wait for the next PowWow!! You can also add herbs and spices to make different flavor bread! Or hit it with cinnamon and sugar when it comes out of the oil. Either way, you won't be disappointed!!
Hey may I use your authentic soulful beautiful words of yummie frybread. You could make a commercial with your words of Hozho. Thank you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love fry bread too! I grew up eating it in Arizona when ever there was a pow wow or big festival or party someone would be selling it. When I moved to Europe many years ago I came across a similar dish but made with yest dough, hungarian fried bread called langos. It's fascinating to see what they put on thiers, garlic oil with sour cream and a kind of cheese, it was very good.
this looks like the same dough my grand ma used to make for fried hand pies, except she used lard instead of the oil, hot to the touch, not burning hot, just hot to the touch, then either used a savory stuffing or a sweet stuffing then fried in oil on the stove, THANK YOU for showing us how to make fry bread dough
your right, and yes we, me and my brothers still make them! some get a sweet filling,, some get the more familiar savory filling ,,, some i bake,, and some i deep fry in home rendered lard, my grand parents were owners of some tourist cabins, my other set of grand parents had a large farm,,
Thank you. My daughter is Native and Mexican American and trying to teach her about her ancestry. Chippewa Cree from Montana/ Shoshone bannock. Now we can learn together how to make fry bread. ❤
Great job and thank you for being such a wonderful mother! So few take the time to teach their children everyday home skills. Soo many are lost and only see McDonalds and places to eat out. Thank you. I am going to remake most of my frybread videos. Thank you for using my recipe. Happy thoughts. Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
Yup I pitter and patter LOL!! Thank you for watching and hope you try to make this dough. You will be so surprised that you can't mess it up. It will taste absolutely lovely!! New Year Hugs!! Navajo Grandma
Some of the best memories I have growing up are visiting restaurants on the reservations in Arizona and eating this delicious bread. So glad I found an easy and authentic recipe ❤
Happy you found this recipe too. Now make it yours by adding what you like as some prefer certain ingredients. I do have a frybread ingredient video as well. Enjoy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Why thank you Ironken, I so appreciate your comments and feedback. Thank you for appreciating my presentation and hope that you can try your hand at making frybread dough and tasting how good it tastes. Do not get addicted. It is full of carbs but remember also there is moderation in all things. Grandma's counsel. LOL! There are more videos and I invite you to watch them. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Hey Grandma...so you post how to make these delicious things and expect me not to get addicted? Yeah right! Besides, I use carb free flour 😁 I made a batch tonight for my wife and kids. They were an absolute hit. Topped with good chorizo and the usual fixins. My wife even put cinnamon and sugar on an extra bread....loved it! My size and shapes need some practice though. Thank you for the help! What a fun meal. And Grandma's counsel is appreciated. You rock!
@@ironken1796 You need the biggest hug!!! This is fantastic news and what a cook!! I have to say this is a wonderful beginning and with such success. Who cares what the size looks like right!!! Happy thoughts and happy eating. Great comment!! Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Grandma you not only give great recipes but, you bring out great memories that are kinda like recipes for life. You are a blessing and I pray you receive many blessings every day.
All right Grandma I am gunna give this a try for out VFW this week. Gunna make the dough on Wednesday for cooking on Thursday. So will let you know how it goes. I can tell I am getting hungry thinking about it
Salvage Monster - what a name! So Navajo Grandma will pray for you and bless you that this recipe will be as easy and come out perfect and soft as a baby's bottom. Don't over knead it. You will know when the consistency turns into a ball of dough easily, and all the flour comes off the sides of your bowl. On Wednesday evening, take some olive oil in your hand or barely sprinkle it around your round dough so it won't stick to the pan or bucket?? Also you won't get that hard crust from sitting over night. "Really" you should wake up early and make it then for later that morning or day. The dough will be more pliable. Wisdom from Grandma. Good luck with blessings from Navajo Grandma. Now I would like a report. Happy eating and yes, you can't mess this recipe up, know this. No matter what, you will thoroughly enjoy it way way too much:)
GRANDMA GRANDMA GRANDMA!! We just finished eating Navajo tacos with your recipe and guidance! We are all stuffed and so happy. It was my husband, children, mother, father and brother. The menfolk are definitely more vocal about their food when you put fry bread in front of them. The recipe turned out perfectly. Thank you so much. I’m going to put this in my family recipe box (which only holds recipes we adore , like things from my childhood.) and I’m going to put that it is your recipe Navajo Grandma. 💛💛💛💛 Thank you for all you do 💛💛💛 Still praying for you.
What a delightful comment!! Family eating frybread or Navajo Taco's together. Happy memories, happy thoughts, and happy tastebuds!! So happy to hear this. I keep saying, "make this your recipe, use whatever you desire and stamp your name on it next to Navajo Grandma LOL!! Hugs to you and yes, Grandma prays for you daily as well. I love everyone of my subscribers and their happy comments!! Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma it was such a treat. My dad kept complimenting me and my husband didn’t come up for air lol. I used up lots of veggies and such. Nothing was wasted . Yours is the only recipe I will use from now on. And I can’t wait to try this dough in the other forms you show in your other videos 💛 Thank you for sharing a part of your heart with all of us 💛
@@masuganut2082 I love your comment, I could just keep reading your comments, they are so fun and you made me laugh about your husband not coming up for air and your dad complimenting you. Wow what wonderful men you have in your life who love you and your cookin. This is a wonderful happy thoughts I shall keep to keep the smile on my face. Hugs to you and your success. Again make this your recipe. Love you so. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I’m definitely going to do a lot with this dough recipe. May even try a sweet version with strawberries for my kids. It makes me so happy to think my comments are making you happy. You bring so much love and peace into every video. We all love you so much. 💛💛💛
Just wanted to tell you I followed with you step by step and it was the best I have ever made. Thank you. I'm sending your video to everyone that asks me about them.
Flour has a mood about how much water it needs. Thank you for showing us, Grandmother. The food takes our mood and love into our loved ones tummies 😊 We love you 💜💜💜
MamaBear you are so right, then we add love through our labor. Such words of wisdom you just shared:) Don't forget to view my videos, watch and enjoy. Navajo Grandma
Grandmother, thank you for this! I made fry bread for my children last night using the recipe I grew up with. My wife broke her ankle and so I am doing the cooking. I learned to cook from my grandmother as a young man because my parents divorced and my father was a terrible cook. Tonight I am making fry bread tacos using your recipe. Thank you again! You are a blessing!
Wonderful! Dear R H, I salute your dignity being a wonderful father, helping and cooking for the little ones. They will remember these memories, how palatable dad's cooking was and how he took the time to mix and roll out the dough and fry up bread and put it together for their health and well being. You, sir, are few of the men who still walk this earth, men of goodness, love, care, concern, willing to truly be a father. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I'm so happy I found this! My nahlee never taught me and I seriously wanted to know how to make fry bread so the recipe didn't die out. My dad also appreciates it, since now he doesn't have to wait for family reunions to get the stuff! Thank you!
What a beautiful name, Selah. So happy to hear that you came to Navajo Grandma and found my frybread recipe. Make it yours, use whatever ingredients you would like to use. There is also another video to make it more healthy should we say. Using different flour and ingredients. That is for those who have health situations and still want to enjoy what frybread tastes like. Tell your dad he has a wonderful child to find a make this recipe. You can't believe how I made this. When my Mom and Bizhi would measure using but their hand, I would take a paper plate and when they put the salt and baking powder I was right there grabbing it with my plate. Then I would measure it and throw it back in the bowl. It bothered them but had I not done this I would not know exactly how much of what they measured with their hands. It was amazing how exact their measuring with their hands were. I hope you appreciate this and tell your dad how Navajo Grandma did this. My Mom would say "shush-lee-yadi" to me and it would frustrate her but made me happy. I sure miss them so much. Take good care of your dad. Ask him questions while he is still alive about your grandparents and his childhood. What he learned and what teachings he wants you to go by the rest of your life. Does he believe in the Holy Ones and what he knows about them. Write these down or record them but write them down. Too many people say, "I should have, I could have, but never did," its when our dearest parents are gone that we mourn as we could have done something about it. This is how you create happy memories with your dad. Bother him about his life and tell him, you know he was not perfect but you want to hear stories he can share about your grandparents and family. I hope you know your clan, if not there you go another very important talk. Your mother's and dad's clan and on your Paternal and Maternal grandparents. So far so good. You have a great time. Navajo Grandma, Axhehee!!
Your necklace looks like mine. I have had mine since 1966 when my husband gave it to me as a gift.
Ooooh you can WILL yours to Navajo Grandma when you get sick of it. LOL! Jewelry hugs, Navajo Grandma
Don’t tell my mom but this is the best fry bread recipe on RUclips.
Well how kind of you to say so. I hope you make it yours and pass it on from generation to generation. I created that because no one in my Navajo family knew exactly what measurements were. They would just get this get that and mix it and it was amazing. So one day when my Bizhi was making frybread. I got a small bowl for every ingredient she just measured by sight. The outcome was incredible and that is what we got. It was so exact I sat in disbelief. I did it again twice a day later and again it was exact to the bone. So like others say, their mothers and grandmothers never measured and I can now see why. So wonderful and a tribute you have given my Bizhi. Thank you sweet one! New Year hugs with prosperity, healing, health and peace, beauty, balance and harmony to fill you thru out the next 364 days! Love you. Navajo Grandma
I wasn’t about to watch any fried bread video until I seen a true native teaching how to make it.
@@Bocephus6660 Wow! Thank you!!! Hugs galore!! Navajo Grandma
I know, the first video I clicked on was of this middle aged white guy, and then I saw this video below it and I hurried on over here. Why would I go anywhere else?
Watching her make bread and say words in her native language was a real treat....Thank you for sharing⚘️👍🏽
Hi sweetheart this is me, Navajo Grandma, I appreciate your comment. I hope you try to make this. It's now your recipe. Enjoy. When your low on money sell it and or make Navajo tacos. Serious. Love you. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma
Thank you⚘️👍🏽
I am 66 year's old and recovering from a fire that took my life. God gave it back. You remind me of my mother. She was beautiful and she made sure I knew I was loved. We lived on a small Reservation in Oregon. It was a two room shack with a tin can roof, no running water, and a massive cast iron cook stove in the middle. Soon after we moved there people discovered mom could cook! I remember waking to the slapping sound in the morning's often before dawn. The smell of fry bread and "fixin's". There would alway's be people waiting to buy her food. She would sing blessing song's in time with flattening the bread. I wasn't raised in poverty! We had good and simple food. We had the best outhouse too. It was a two seater! Mom bought two toilet seats from Goodwill for ten cents. She said the only reason she spent so much money on the toilet seats was so she wouldn't worry about my falling in! My mom, in my eye's she is still the most beautiful, hardest working, loving woman in the world. You remind me of her! I miss her! Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories! A'HO 💚
O Marsha, I could wrap my grandma arms around you so tight. I hope you feel grandmas love as I make these videos for each of you my channel grandchildren. Your comment melted my heart, pulled at my heartstrings sweetheart. But what a beautiful vision, a simply beautiful outlook at what others would deem lowly when to us simplicity was love, hard work was life but precious and we loved one another. May Heavenly Father love, comfort and keep you always to protect you. You are in my prayers with protection. Now smile and lift your precious mind from your beautiful remembering and get a pen, write your heart down, your heart full of absolutely precious memories. Promise grandma. Love n Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I thank you both. I have found that the wealthy live their lives on attaining wealth and keeping it no matter the cost. There are the people who have nothing but are willing to take what others work hard for. But, then you have those that don't see dollar signs in everything! They don't really have much monetarily, however are rich in love, wealthy in culture and covered with love and compassion(had a small war with spellcheck, it was determined to say constipation instead of compassion)from family and friends! No one on that small reservation (400 acres)had much. And the Tue night gatherings were murder!(venison chilli, venison tacos, venision and beans with beans and venison mystery something all with BEANS) If you were a kid there was no escape. Ventilation wasn't a big issue back then. But, the laughter and gentle teasing, the music and dancing, the being together made us incredibly rich and happy. Navajo Grandma, sharing thing's the way you do with everyone is a wonderfull blessing! Keep on doing what you are! Teach others how to do it. I think you are pulling everyone together. I am Cherokee and Paiute! And now live in Eastern Washington. We are everywhere! I am sharing you with all the people I know. We need you! A'HO 💚
@@marshamoore8385 You need more hugs sweetheart. What an amazing life you have lived and still do. Love you so. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I just found your channel today and I'm so glad I did. I'm now a subscriber. I'm Cherokee, Souix (Lakota) and Navajo however it goes very far back so I don't look like I have any native American blood in me at all. Unfortunately none of the tribal ways or languages have survived in my family so all I have is what I find in videos such as this. Many blessings to you my new friend!
@@babygrandma8654 it's surviving. Like beads and threads of days gone by traded between the nations of turtle island now it is memory traded here in you tube. We are all one people made by the Creator inspired and protected by Great Spirit. The Earth is our mother. Even look to the Holy Bible, God the Father and Creator reached to the Earth and sculpted Adam. We all have the same Heavenly Father and Earth as our Mother.
Unfortunately, the original fork tongue (serpent) has only made marital conflicts and sibling rivalries from begining days.
It's long overdue...to find authentic first people of the americas presenting their recipes... rather than a rash of caucasian videographers flooding the web making native american cuisine.
Thank you for sharing🙂
Well said and thank you for your wonderful comment!! Hugs to you malcolm, Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma ...
😁❤️👍
😎
@@smelmybut 💗💗💗💗
Where is that?
She's using Caucasian domesticated wheat flour, and Caucasian invented baking powder to make a type of bread that Navajo like to eat.
The ancestors of American Indians were Caucasians 30,000 years ago in Eastern Europe and Asia. Europeans, North Africans and West Asians generally descend from Ancient West Eurasians. Ancient North Eurasians split from West Eurasians less than 30,000 years ago and migrated towards Siberia. Your Caucasian ancestors were Ancient North Eurasians.
Don't be so divisive.
All grandmas have so much wisdom to impart.

I wish I had a grandma like this. I envy people that have caring grandmas in their lives🥲

Ain't that the truth
Nice handwriting, yes! 😁

I'm a 63 year old man. I used to watch my mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, aunties and uncles make fry bread dough. Mines not like yours but at least we are still here! Blessings ❤
@PaulCozad Paul "you are still carrying on the tradition!" Love & hugs for your tradition. What lovely family togetherness, memories bound all of your family. Reading your lovely comment shows you watched, you were there, you all were together then enjoying happy hunger and lovely food made by your family make this so much more delicious and filling. How blessed you were and still are. I hope you have children to share your childhood traditions & lovely memories. I sure did. Write these moments down for posterity, there is nothing like HOME, PARENTS, HOMEMADE FOOD & MEMORIES created around the table or just with one another. Thank you for sharing!!

My grandson is getting ready to go to Washington DC on the first of February with the National Honor society. I'm a proud grandpa here. I'm so sure you're proud of your grandchildren too. Keep cooking grandma. Love you forever and forever and always.
@PaulCozad You see what happens with family. Eat together, make food together, loving one another and see how your little ones are healthy, smart & outstanding!! Only goodness comes from family!! Great reply!!
Navajo Grandma
I'm not Tribal but you have no idea how much it means to me for people to pass down family/generational recipes. My Mom & Grandmothers took all of their recipes to their graves. Nothing was ever written or measured, & when these wonderful women left this world, so too went their equally wonderful food. Thank you. I look forward to your other delicious recipes.
What you spoke is true. It’s up to us to preserve our traditions, our knowledge of our grandparents, your remembrance to write them down and cherish them with family. Thank you for watching and learning. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Well they were smart to take it to their graves. Now days ppl just learn and make money off of it. Some don't even taste good..
So true-- I lost the cookbooks, my mom's recipes, my recipes, all of the magic involved in cooking and baking. They were the foods that connected people and events over more than a century. All gone in a fire. *Please, please, please, keep copies in separate locations.* Out of all that was lost, the recipes are what I miss the most.
*MAKE COPIES!*
@@Rockymountainhoney1 Why is it shameful to make a living with a skill that no one else has, that you learned from your ancestors, that others enjoy? You are both A) teaching others the food of your culture, and B) making a living doing it........that's not wrong.
My dad made the best homemade biscuits and for some reason he wouldn't let me watch or tell me how he made them. I know basic biscuit dough is simple but I still haven't come close or found another that comes close to how his tasted!
My grandmother never measured either. She taught me to make things by "a little mound in the palm of your hand" She made me understand "a soft dough" and a Hard dough" Love this!
@Chapman-tw1ok Awwww this is more and more common when you grow up around grandparents and alot didn't. SAD but wonderful for you. Mom also teach us great measuring guidelines too
Great timely hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I am 71 now and taught my son the same way to cook. He is teaching his son to cook that way now!
How wonderful family recipies still exist. My family didn't pass anything down except alcoholism lol. Thank you for documenting this. A treasure for humanity. Peace be with you.
This was a great comment, thank you for being the one who is positive and thankful for goodness and throwing out the bad. You recognize what was wrong and maybe what went wrong, that makes you the top percentile and that you will be amazing in 2024!! And even now!! When our eyes are opened, we need to be the best and be absolutely as wonderful as we desire!! I pray for you to have a great year of remembering, writing down goodness, having great healing and health, praying always, being kind and loving, forgiving yourself and your family for whatever they may have done or chose to do that might seem off color to you, the joy is that you won't repeat the wheel! I love that you see clearly. This is what makes your comment absolutely one in a million. I hope you take the time to make this frybread. Lots of carbs, just don't get addicted okay? HAPPY NEW YEAR HUGS FROM NAVAJO GRANDMA!!! Love you.

Hi there my dearest Amanda, my beautiful Italian Princess. Thank you for finding Navajo Grandma, me, while you were sick and I pray as you drink plenty of water, like a big fat glass full every 1/2 hr, and you pee like a sieve, you will get over it quicker. Anytime I have the sniffles, I drink tons of water, I take vitamin C, and another pill that totally gets me peeing, sorry for saying whats true but you will pee a lot, what are grandma's for right? But its true, pee galore and wash that crap out. Most folks don't do this and suffer. I then drink water and not soda and it is tempting I tell you but water washes us out. There is a Professor at Brigham Young University who invited a Jewish Hollocaust victim, who was the only one who lived until a year ago he died. I heard him and wept. He said while he was behind bars with tons of other Jewish men, the guards didn't give them water. Each Jewish man was given a cup for water. So when this man asked for water, the guards would take the cup and piss into the cup then give that back to him. He said he had no other choice, so he prayed over the urine. Then he drank it. He said God blessed it, it tasted like fresh water and that is how he survived. Others did too but most had not the faith. Thus when they would get sick, he would get urine from the guards and he would bless the urine and the person would drink it and say, "where did you get that fresh water?" He told them the guards helped him. Then they would get well as he had them drink as much as they could or as much as the guards would pee. Now it may seem disgusting, but truly the body had cleansed it and then adding prayer, it was made whole thru faith. You are prayerful I hope and that is also another good thing because you take your water and bless it if you have the sniffles or sick, hopefully you catch it in time, then bless the water. Ask God to cleanse it to hydrate you or your family and to wash out any sickness because its for health and safety and more so when you have children and it spreads quickly. Protect yourself. I have done this when raising 7 children by myself. I put my hands on their little heads and blessed them and their fevers were lifted. It was always too late in the night or early morning to get help. So that was what I did. It requires faith sweetheart. Do this with wisdom and believe. Faith is believing in something you do not see and that is why it is hard for man to have faith. But believe. thank you again for taking the time to write. Thank you for subscribing and yes I wish I lived next door as all my subscribers say, it would end up as a commune LOL!! There is goodness in this land and in our lives it just takes us to pull it out and use wisdom and maintain our faith in God. Pray always my dear one. Love and hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love how she counted the cups of flour in Navajo so sweet go off Navajo mama 🙏🏼🧡
Thank you Sabrina, you are so kind to compliment Grandma's counting, even that makes grandma happy. I am glad you took the time to watch this video and maybe later you can try making this. You can't mess it up. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I did today please tell me how to fix the consistency of my dough mine came out sticky 😆 but I will give it another try. I thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us I wish I didn’t suck so bad 😂. May God bless you Navajo Grandma ♥️
@@Bigbodybri If it is too sticky did you sprinkle a little more flour on it? Apply a little at a time until the dough becomes more pliable. Not too much flour. Try a tablespoon at a time, mix it in and knead it, then if it is still sticky, do another tablespoon. Once it doesn't sticky all over, then it should roll into a ball. cover it, let it sit for 20 minutes covered with a dish towel and I put a plate on top of the dish towel. Let it rise then it should be nice and soft and ready to roll out. Love you for trying and asking grandma questions. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Don't give up. Practice does make perfect sweetheart.
My favorite part! @NavajoGrandma, this is a great way to pass along the language!
I love you're turquoise and sliver bracelet Navajo Grandma
Keasha thank you for your compliment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

Great show and thanks again for the info 👍👍👍👍👍😁👍

Well what kind words and even a compliment. Thank you so kindly. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Watching her in the kitchen, I look at her skin on her arms and can see my mom's skin beautiful brownred colour.

God bless you! I am a Ukrainian woman, but I read so many books about your culture. I bake bread Ukrainian bread for my family every week.
Welcome to Navajo Grandma’s channel. I welcome you and know your people like Naive Americans have gone thru more than you and your people have experienced. Tho through suffering it has made us strong. I love that you make your bread for family. Great comment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My husband is Navajo and is gonna make me a Navajo taco today. So I am excited that I found your video
What a good man cooking for you. Tell us what your taste buds thought. Woo HOO! Navajo Grandma
Non tribal and most African-American but mannn how much i love learning about my native(blackfoot) roots and learning abt native culture in general. My grandmother lost touch with her roots as a child and the gatekeeping of the culture is understandable, but your channel has been a blessing for me being displaced on both sides of my ethnic background. Thank you again, and much love❤🙌🏿
There is always a way to learn and a way for us to accomplish knowing where we came from, who we are and in defining ourselves. God bless and remember your prayers that your ancestors will come forth and show themselves to you. Navajo Grandma
@williamclark9442 did you know that in Africa, they make a similar bread called Chapati. I think the indigenous peoples across the world all have connections in some way 😊
@jessiegutowski316 my dear Jesse we are all similar indeed. WE ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY, we all have the exact SAME ROOTS THRU OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. So imperative to see the beautiful secular differences here on earth BUT SPIRITUALL ONE GREAT CHILDREN OF OUR DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER & HEAVENLY PRECIOUS MOTHER. We are here on this earth being tested to see if we remember truly from whence we came. Only 2 powers here, Satan & God. Which one do you think SEPARATES US and WHICH JOINS US AS ONE FAMILY FROM MILLENIAS AGO?
Navajo Grandma
Welcome and great comment. You are family tho your tribe or nationality is separate in this mortal life, we feel the spiritual connections as we learn about each other's culture ,& traditions my grandson. You keep learning and being receptive. Your desire to learn will bless your life. Remember to pray always as well. Always ask to know truth. Allow God to guide you to your true heritage. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma thank you so much for saying this! There's so much division lately. If everyone would just take this to heart and realize that we all come from the same place, we are all connected, the world would be a better place. ❤
thank you for sharing your navjho fried bread recipe you are so awesome a very sweet lady for us thank you very very much for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Axhehee, you are most welcome! Hugs! Navajo Grandma
I’ve always admired the native people of this land and the wisdom of nature and culture. I’m peasant second generation from Polish farmers. We lived close to the land and were not from much. I always loved getting greens and mushrooms from the fields and woodlands. Most Americans do not know this way of life. At 73 I still do it as much as possible. I love seeing how your culture ate and surprisingly it got similar ideas. I’ve always felt you guys got royally screwed by this government. I pray you have a long blessed life and everything you need. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
@Murphis55 You expressed your lovely foraging self so lovely. Yes our ancestors taught us right, it's just we didn't hand these wonders down. I am guilty of it. My children don't speak Navajo and Japanese & hawaiian fluent at all. But what you spoke is pure truth. Now all American Indians understand is dependency. It's awful!! No spirituality but Greed, Control & Power. It's sad. But for me & my house there is still foraging and how mother nature is a Gof send. Sending hugs to you from Navajo Grandma
brings back warm memories of Arizona, Navajo Fry Bread and Navajo Tacos. So delicious!
Oh yes! Now you can mix up a batch and make it yourself. Fun!! Navajo Grandma
I’m Native/indigenous Mexican/Spanish (Tarahumara and others). My parents always taught us we have indigenous roots and I’m finding out more all the time. Our culture and languages were taken for us a long time ago. My husband is part Tlingit. I love the similarities of Mexican recipes to fry bread. This is on the menu tonight! ❤️
Oooh Veronica this is what I like to hear. This is wonderful frybread and yes it is close to sopapillas but the spanish use way tons more lard for this than what the Dine' do. But the taste, oh my the taste!! Yup we are similar and we are family. Hugs to all natives no matter where. Hugs to all from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma it was delicious! My got out of the hospital with covid, so I made it for her. We are Tarahumara, Otomi and a bit Pima. Looking forward to more recipes. It’s Pow wow season-there are two big ones here, coming up. More good food lol. Hugs to you!
@@veronicahernandez7322 where do you live and which tribes are having pow wows? Gma
@@NavajoGrandma hi! I live in Southern California. The Morongo band has a huge Pow wow in a few weeks and welcomes many tribes to participate. We also have San Manuel Pow Wow and they welcome native people from all over. I believe there are more coming up.
@@veronicahernandez7322 Wow its wonderful to finally have Pow Wows now that this covid thing is hopefully over and we need to still take precautions no matter what. Grandma still wears a mask and I am sure people stare and hate me doing this but I did this long ago long long ago. When I went to church and did things I kept picking up sicknesses until I started wearing masks. I did this long ago. When I went to Japan this is what they did back in the 70s and 80s. They have mask and condom dispensers everywhere on the streets. Silly but if someone is caught sneezing or coughing they get fined. Back then in the 80's when I was there that is what happened. Mainly to protect the population because its a butt to butt cheek to cheek train ride and walk everywhere back then. Hope you stay safe and enjoy those Pow Wows for Grandma!! Pow Wow Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love this recipe. I am Pomo/Wailacki from Northern California and have always struggled with making great fry bread. My grandma passed when I was young so I didn’t get a chance to learn from her. As you may know a lot of people are very protective of their recipes and it is crazy that the recipe can vary so much since it usually has the same basic ingredients! So thank you For sharing your recipe with me. My family says it’s my best fry bread ever!
oOOOH WHAT A COMPLIMENT!! Make this recipe yours and continue to enjoy. Hugs with love. Navajo Grandma
Beautiful grandma...
💓💓💓💓
You are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this recipe video. It brought back the memories of watching my Navajo grandmother making it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to remember your wonderful grandmother. I fee I have succeeded if this has been a lovely memory. Write your memories down, enjoy the later or to share with your posterity or family as a birthday gift of memories but something memorable. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are such a beautiful lady inside and out. God bless you.
Oh my what a kind compliment of Hozho. Thank you so much. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My next videos will involve defining myself, a sober one, then excitedly moving towards Grandma shearing a sheep for you all. This is an opener with videos on the weaving loom, rugs, carding and spinning dowel with weaving accessories. Its getting exciting to learn more about Dine' textile. Please watch and learn. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for the teachings :) can't wait! 💛
My Mother in taught me this and how she made corn fritters, with plain fine cornmeal white or yellow cold water and salt... They are a delicious favorite that has been passed down from one generation to another...Thanks I enjoyed the video reminded me of my late beloved mother in law ..
@@Warriarwomen45 I love that when we share we are reminded of our past and how wonderful and amazing our associations with our family members were and what they taught us. Sad we don't realize that until they are gone. I pray grandma is waking up all so they don't allow this again. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing these things with us!
@LDuke-pc7kq this might be two years ago but my thanks to you persists. Axhehee. Navajo Grandma
My grandma was from Colorado she made them exactly like this. The sound took me back to my childhood ❤
This is wonderful when I am happy that you are receptive enough to experience your memories that bring joy to your soul & spirit. Thank you for sharing this memory and it's heartstrings. I love you all for being here as our Navajo Grandma family. Happy Holiday Hugs!! My blessings is that you shall be most Prosperous this NEW Year. Be wise with what you will receive. Love you.

I made your recipe on my ship and every sailor loved it!!!! I love learning about foods from all over the world, and this is a fast, easy, and happy addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard the USNS Mary Sears!
My dear Barbara what a treat for you making my mom's recipe. This thrilled me. So happy you enjoyed it as you are a marvelous cook then. How blessed is the crew. Thank you for sharing. Are you living upon the water? Wow. My assumption. Sorry. But great comment and I send my frybread hugs!! 😊 Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma I live onboard for 4 months at a time! I've been a sailor, first with the US Navy and now as civilian contractor, for 23 years! Thank you so much for this recipe! I quadruple it and there is never any left over!
Thank you for your wonderful & easy recipe🤗
Watching a Navajo nation video I saw the creator of that video & a sheriff eating this bread & I was like: Ok, I need this recipe now🤪& I am not making any other one, I am saving your authentic recipe, I will make it later & if I share it on my channel of course I will give you the credit for it. Thanks again🤗
THUMBS UP!! Navajo Grandma
So glad I found your channel. I'm Indigenous Mexican (Nahua)and like others, I can see the similarities. I've yet to try fry bread but looking forward to trying your recipe, and of course as we know, everything tastes better when it's made with grandma's love ❤
Welcome!! This is Navajo Grandma. I am so happy and hope you did subscribe. Yes, we are all family and our familial ways, culture, traditions are similar for everyone across the board or earth. Welcome again and always comment when you can after watching my videos. I will always answer you. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma I finally made fry bread today. It gave me a little trouble at first, as do tortillas sometimes lol but in the end, they came out great! I decided to use them to make Venison BLT's. It was delicious! Thank you again for sharing your recipe ❤
@jessiegutowski316 oh my can Grandma come over!! Sounds so delish!! Great job and thank you for being grateful, so few are nowadays. Bon Apetite or in Navajo "thlikaango eyaa!" LOL!! Navajo Grandma

Thank you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Najavo Grandma, teaching people how to make good food is a service to the whole world. Much love from me and my own Grandmothers 💙
Hi there, some folks would agree with your statement and some would not as I get hate comments about high cholesterol, awful carbs, diabetes and why am I encouraging this and that. Well if you eat this day in and day out, yes, but there is also moderation in all things. I eat this now and then, probably twice a year or less. But again this is what the white folks addicted Navajos to by giving free government food in place of what these Navajos were eating so natural and vegan. They were told it was awful and why they were skinny and malnutritioned when they were healthy! Oh well thank you and sorry but this had to be said. Enjoy and always pray over your food. God always blesses your food and ask for it to be sanctified for your body. Enjoy and love and hugs. Navajo Grandma
I miss Navajo fry bread so much. I always tell people the best to find is made by a grandma.
Boy are you spot on, grandma’s are the bomb, so they say now! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Oh my goodness,
Can I come over to your house for dinner ☺️
If I had a home I would say, "come right over my grandchild!" NO doubt. Love you. Navajo Grandma
It’s like watching “Gandma” Julia Curly.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood.
I love comments like this because it does tug at our hearts when the memories take us back to those who are gone or to those yesteryears that were spent and left happy thoughts, happy days, happy family and more. Happy to hear this took you back there to your childhood when things were simpler and it was fun and carefree to a certain extent. Happy thoughts. Axhehee. Navajo Grandma
Tried this tonight for dinner My dough didn't rise much but it still turned out great and extremely delicious! However, I made my pieces smaller so I could pick them up and eat them with my hands, served chili on top of the bread with cheese and sour cream. My dad says it's now his favorite way to eat chili. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heritage with us
Woo Hoo what a wonderful cook you are. I always say, "make this your recipe and enjoy it like you did with your dad. It is so delish!! Great report and so proud of you. This is now your recipe and hold to it dearly. Don't get addicted though. LOL! Hugs to you and your dad. Navajo Grandma
I also make fry bread with buffalo stew. That's my favorite. Try it sometime! I just make a regular vegetable stew: potatoes, carrots, green beans, lots of corn, beef stock, tomato sauce, seasoning and then chunks of buffalo meat. Let it slow simmer until the meat looks cooked. Buffalo has little to no fat. So it cooks faster than beef. Then scoop the stew onto your fry bread. It's heaven! 😄
@@rachelherrera5867 that sounds delicious! You’re giving me ideas for dinner tonight. lol
My mom has been disabled for around a year now and she cant cook for now and she's been mentioning fry bread I'm gonna use your recipe this week to give her what she's been wanting as a surprise. Hope I make it right. Thank you for your hard work making the videos and helping me to be able to bless her. 🙏❤🧡
What a good soul and daughter you are!! You give me Hope in civilization. When you use my recipe, put all dry ingredients together, mix, if you want to make a crater in the dry ingredients and put 1/4 cup of olive oil it's up to you. Then use warm warm water. Start with 2 cups, mix just enough to wet the dry flour mix. Add another 1/2 cup, about here you can start to feel if you need more water or not. Knead gently into a ball. Cover let sit for 30 minutes then use whatever oil you want. Put flour on table roll out the ball of dough. Your oil should be 375 degrees. Fry golden and place on paper towel. ENJOY!! Tell your dear mother, Navajo Grandma wishes her a happy meal and I will pray for her. Hugs to you both!! Navajo Grandma
Just how my wife and grandmother make it. I love your videos thank you 👏🙏
Thank you for watching and subscribing. Navajo Grandma
I’m always amazed to watch you ,and other Navajo ladies, make fry bread and toss it back and forth so effortlessly . I’ve tried that over the years and just can’t get it down. (Maybe I started too late in life 😅) I haven’t seen others letting theirs rise,so I think I’ll try your way . I really love the fry bread. Thank you.
Hi John, I am happy that you enjoy watching women making frybread or even just cooking. Its the greatest delight as to what the outcomes are always so good. Just to let you in on the truth -- its not that we allow the dough to rise, its the ingredients need to permeate one with another and allowed to soften and somewhat rise, but its not yeast or anything like it. Its just allowing time to give us time to prepare to cook or fry it I think. If you have ever seen it, when the dough is felt after 20 or 30 minutes it is soft and lovely. Hugs for your lovely comment. Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
We as mexicans "Im Mexican" make kind of that but we make like a thin thin layer bread "tortilla" we fri it and when it come out of the oil we bath the "(Buñuelo)"
We mix sugar and cinnamon powder and
I call it a sugar bath both sides and that's so good to eat with coffe ,or hot teas
mmmmmm, sounds YUMMIE. I will try it, thanks for a nice treat suggestion. Navajo Grandma
Butter and honey.
Spread some cream cheese on it with what you said and roll it like a taquito and it's good that way too 😍
My family calls them sopapillas. Beside the other ideas we pour honey on them when they are nice and hot@
@Irene Montana I aet them too but I forgot the name of the sopapillas 😂
My goodness, you look & sound so much like my own Mom, who I lost over 20 years ago; she was Cree. I'm truly amazed and you've warmed my heart! I'm definitely going to try this recipe and thank you so very much for sharing this with us.
Bless you & your family, Navajo Grandma ❤️
Moms are amazing and their love is non replaceable. Thank you for sharing your heart. I want to thank you for this great comment. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
This is amazing. I was born in Mexico and it’s great to see the similarities we have in our cooking with Native Americans. This here is very similar to BUÑUELOS everything is the same except for the thickness of the dough at the end buñuelos are extended thin like a tortilla and normally we sprinkle sugar on both sides. They are great with coffee.
That is what I hear. You are wonderful and hope you enjoy your tortillas like we do. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
I just said that lol😉 I didn’t read your post. That’s because many of us are Native/Indigeneous Mexican. Many similarities. Especially as you get close to birder tribes.
@@veronicahernandez7322 You are Native tribes and that is wonderful to know. We are all family and amazing. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Hi there! I don't know if I posted about this last year or the year before, but every year I share your video with your recipe to my 3-6 grade classes (I'm an elementary school librarian). I read Kevin Noble Mailllard's book Fry Bread first (his recipe in back of the book is different from yours). The kids love watching the video. it's a tradition now. The fun thing is that my school community is 90% Spanish speaking from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, etc, and the kids ALL recognize what you are making and making connections to food made at home by their mom's and grandmas and great grandmas. It's so important that they make the connections. I just thought you might like to know that your video is shown every year in November to hundreds of students in my school. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge-AND Recipe.💌
@georgiecamacho2782 Wow WHAT AN HONOR! But you need the commendation more, not I. I wish the governments honored teachers as they do in Japan. I went & lived there and when a sensei comes into a room, all bow. They are the most honored & the most highly paid as they teach generations of leaders. The parliament Prime Minister isn't even as honored as the sensei is. He bows to the sensei. Their pay is the greatest. I told pres. Clinton that many years ago & he snubbed at it. Such as well are mothers who also are creators, bear children coming close to death and what teachers they are to their posterity. The wise ones do. I am happy to hear you share my video yearly. It's humbling. Axhehee. Give my hugs to all students who watch these videos, tell them Navajo Grandma says, "enjoy the frybread but do not get addicted. And thank you all for watching Navajo Grandma. Pray always over your food, prayer is a survival skill of the Native American Indians. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma!"
Thank you! love it, and nice bracelets, too. I have to try this
We make our food with our jewelry. We also scrub our hands and jewelry when it's time to cook. That was in my day, don't know what people do nowadays. Navajo Grandma
Oh… I could be your cousin or sister or maybe even Auntie- too old to be a grandkid.
I woke up this morning homesick, made a cup of dark roast coffee and wanted fry bread. I make it but with yeast because I make a big batch of bread when I do it. It is kind to my heart to watch you on your kitchen. I store my flour the way you do. I have revere ware pans on my counter- I mix all my breads with my hands. I could be back home in S.Dakota at my auntie gladys. Be Safe-
The Creator sent me home for a bit this morning- to your warm kitchen. I am grateful 🌻
You made me 😃 Navajo Grandma

I miss fry bread. My Navajo friends asked my kiddingly what I wanted for Christmas and I said send Fry Bread. LOL ❤ love it!
Well did you get it for Christmas? I say if you want it learn how to make it. Grandma shared her recipe and make it yours, use whatever ingredients and enjoy. Just do not get addicted. My Grandma Surgeon General advice. LOL
Hope you got some for Christmas!
Our family (Norwegians!) tried this for Thanksgiving. The family loved them! Thank you for posting!!!
Wow across the great waters you Norweigians making frybread. How exciting!!! I love it!! Happy report. Navajo Grandma
checking in from New Zealand ! been looking for a recipe for this for ages.
You made me jealous to hear you are in New Zealand. How awfully beautiful as we sit here in the snow. LOL!! Send some SUN!! Love you. Navajo Grandma
Why is it that our Grandma's were the best cooks ever, and like Navajo Grandma never used any measuring tools at all. Man, I do miss my Grandma's cooking. ( And her most of all )
Grandma's have learned their lessons and are wise because of the lives they have lived. Maybe perfect and some not so perfect moments but we learn how to accept life and make it better. Food being one of them. Your grandma misses you too, remember that. Navajo Grandma
You came it for your family now ! Get bussy 👍
I'm hungry, now, you are such a natural, humble, human being, thank you, I will try this, I've stood in line, at pow wows, but now I will make my own, Thank you Navajo Grandmother...😊
GREAT COMMENT take the bull by the horn. Make your own! Great idea but sometimes someone else doing the job somehow tastes really good. Mom. But wisdom and frugality is smarter thus we make what we desire. Let me know how it turns out. No matter what it will taste so good! Enjoy.

This is from Navajo Grandma as I used another person's computer. Sorry.

Miss my momma, her cooking was a gift too her children daily. Lost alota wieght since 2001.
I know how you feel is true as I miss my momma too. I did learn some cooking skills but was always playing baseball with the little league teams with my brother. I was the first Navajo girl who played in the Connie Mack World Series in Farmington, NM. My mom was always there and when I got married, she said, this is why you needed to learn how to cook. She didn't know I was watching and I had no problem except I didn't like cooking I loved t he outdoors, thus I cook and play and enjoy the outdoors as I did all my life. You and I and mostly everyone do love our momma's and we shall see and know them again. Thats a promise. Love & hugs. Navajo Grandma

I grew up eating “Indian tacos” all the time as a kid. The fry bread is just so delicious… it’s my favorite food of all time! I haven’t had it in a long time living on the east coast. I can’t wait to make this! Thank you for sharing!
I enjoyed your comment and yes, Navajo Tacos don't show up in the East but in the west, California surprised me. Glad you have the recipe, now make it yours and use whatever ingredients you need and enjoy. Remember its full of carbs so take it easy, enjoy now and then with moderation. Its always good every time you make it and eat it!! Tomorrow I am making Navajo Tacos for my son's friends and us. Yum. Enjoy. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
They served the tacos at the Medicine River Pow Wow this past weekend. So good! I hadn't had them since I left the west a year ago. Thanks for sharing your recipe! ❤

Hi Janice, welcome to the family. Thank you for your compliment and I hope I am doing okay teaching you what grandma learned being on the reservation with my Nali and Bizhi. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
We all better learn the old ways❤❤
Yes, these ways were amazing and home made. Cooked, fried, or dried outside. Those were the days when food tasted so much better because they came from our own hard work and during the winter we ate how wonderful it tasted. Great wisdom what you said. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much for sharing with us. ❤
You are so welcome! As I always say, make this your recipe and enjoy. Remember moderation in all things as there are lots of carbs here but darn it, carbs make my day too. Yikes. and YUM!! Navajo Grandma
Hi Grand Ma !!
My wife used to go to Navajo Nation for several years early 90's (chinle) and used to eat Navajo tacos at Tbird in Chinle...
it's her birthday in a few days and I'm goind to prepare some Navajo Tacos for her......I'm very fortunate (to meet her...; for sure !!) to watch your videos, dear GrandMa.
I wish I can bring my beloved wife to her second family, The Navajo Nation...; some days.
Greetings from France !
Thanks for sharing, "now you are a good man!!" I love how you are caring and concerned with making some thing your wife truly enjoyed instead of lacy bras. LOL! Just kidding. Love you and your are a man to never forget. Women who are reading this, remember, this is a true man who loves his wife. Remember. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
I've fallen in love,..... Oh I love the fry bread recipe too!
Wow, don't get to twitter paited, this stuff is a once in a while treat. Lots of carbs and not good for diabetics. Navajo Grandma
My grandma was native to Navajo here out in Arizona! We always loved her fried bread with spices and kidney beans, lettuce, tomatoes and meat with lime juice! I miss her very much and your recipe really brings back memories that I miss very much! Thank you so much Navajo grandma love you!
What wonderful memories that are happy thoughts now. Thank you so much for sharing and how you are making this fry bread as well. This is Navajo Grandma's recipe and pray that you will make it your own. I do explain that whatever you have on hand to make this is your own creation. There is another fry bread video that I made for a more healthy frybread. But you decide how to make this yours. Thank you again for sharing and God bless your grandma. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My sister dated a boy off a reservation and he would come over and make it for us and mom would make a pot of chili to go with it, I’ve got great memories of him coming over and all of us in the kitchen making Navajo fry bread, that’s been over 35 years but the memories are like it was yesterday, I’ve got a pot of chili going and now I’ll be making some of your bread to go with it, thank you for sharing.😇😇😇
Oh my gosh, did you ever watch the WALTONS, or maybe you weren't even born then. It sounds like a scene out of that series. They always said GOODNIGHT to each other at the end of the show. What happy wonderful memories. So 35 years is he still making frybread for you or is he making it for someone else? Just jokin. You just made grandma hungry as I can smell your chili all the way over her into my hostril!! Happy eating and make this recipe yours and enjoy!! Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Hello my dear Navajo lovely grandma..
I like this recipe a lot and I will make it for sure, thank you so much for being so sweet and for your smile. Please stay healthy and wel🌿💐🌱💞🍀🌻🌾❤
What a sweet kind comment from you Sofia. So happy to hear you watched and learned to actually desire to make this recipe. You will do a great job. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I thank you from all my heart for your nice words my dear Navajo Grandma.
I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day🌹❣⚘🌹❣❤💐🌹⚘🌹
You are the salt of the earth. God bless you
Now that is the best compliment ever. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ and he is my whole foundation and because of Him I am whom I am. I pray daily that although I am imperfect I ask for forgiveness and to mold me into being the salt of the earth like my ancestors. Yes, and thank you, Ahehee. Navajo Grandma
I wish I knew my Navajo Grandma ❤ God bless you, sister. We will meet one day in the sky. ❤
What a beautiful lady. Thank you for your recipes
@joelsalikin8053 SO glad you like the recipes. Happy to share. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Heyyy, it's been a while since I've messaged you. Missed Ya!
You know, I live in Texas, have for years, and it's so welcoming to see someone with my skin color, smiling and teaching and being open. You are Native like me and you just feel like home to me Grandma. God Bless You.
Welcome again and hope your life is well and you are finding joy in your life. Thank you for coming home to our Navajo Grandma family. The great state of Texas that gpa calls "heaven." Ha. I know those living in Texas are strong minded true Americans. Glad to know you have a suntan just like gma and yes, it is beautiful and glad you feel at home coming here and learning. Take special care. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Never forget your language, customs or food recipes, my family has, I'm from the English traveller community/ gypsy and everything is gone.
Thank you. Actually, even if you remember one ancestral anything, you can build upon it. Find others of the same heritage, it doesn't necessarily have to be family but befriend them, we all learn from one another. Never lose hope. Love you so. Go outside your circle & find what you thought was gone. I shall pray for you. Or create your own heritage customs & whatever is uplifting. Pray & ask for direction. No one is with out a heritage. If you believe in God. Now here is a true heritage & lineage that is eternal. Hugs with power. Navajo Grandma
My mom taught me how to make fried bread when I was young, it was a family tradition. Thank you for your video.
Excellent and glad you took the time to watch. Navajo Grandma

@@susietennis1250 Thank you and again Grandma says "don't get addicted." High carbs and eat with moderation. Navajo Grandma
This channel is the most beautiful celebration of your culture i have ever found! With all the trials and attrocities that have happened to the indiginous tribes all over the world (my own Sami included)makes it understandable why so many have anger in their hearts. But you are recognizing the anger for what it is - grief! Your grandchildren all avhe for a connection to their ancestors and i can tell you see that and are doing something about it. YOU are doing something to heal your grandchildren but with only love and kindness and sharing knowledge. It really comes through in your work. That spirit of love and service even shows in the comments which are mostly people thanking you and sharing their own stories (where other comment sections seem to only spread more negativity).
I cant say this enough, you are a treasure and a blessing to EVERYONE and especially the grandchildren of your tribe. Love you! Thank you!
I have watched beautiful videos of the Sami tribe and how their living is no different from any tribe here. You are a sacred people. Love & hugs. Remain self empowering and resilient plus to let others know your beautiful tribe does still exist!! Love & hugs. Navajo Grandma
After living in Arizona & going to State Fairs I always got Navajo fry bread . Thank you for sharing your family recipe.
Make this recipe yours and thank you for being receptive enough to make this. Just do not get addicted do you hear? Lots of carbs. Moderation in all things now. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I'm from Hawaii, my Mother-In-Law taught me how to make fry bread for "Indian Tacos" (Navajo Tacos) here in Oklahoma. I've mastered the dough and the fix-ins for the tacos & OMG ... I love it ! & So does my Husband. ☺️
Tata One, I am so proud of you and if you ever use Navajo Grandma's recipe, I welcome you to make it your own and use whatever ingredients you desire. I also do have a healthy recipe video as well. But sometimes "healthy" doesn't do the frybread justice. LOL! Great comment and enjoy. "Try not to get addicted." Navajo Grandma
I am from Ky. My grandma taught me to make biscuits without measuring anything. We used flour, salt, soda, baking powder, lard or crisco, and buttermilk. My grandmas old snuff can was used as a biscuit cutter. Snuff used to come in narrow tin cans, but you can't find them anymore. I miss those tiny wonderful biscuits.
Oh Shrimpy Muscles, what wonderful memories you flooded back to my mind. Yes, I remember with all my heart. My aunties and uncles use to sneek those snuff cans into their pockets to hide from my grandpa, so while sheep herding they would walk around with bulges in their cheeks and brushed their teeth to death when they got home. I just watched and sometimes grandpa would find the snuff cans and yell at them to no avail because they kept it out in the hills. I can see why you were able to use them as biscuit cutters. Oh you need to write these things down. If you asked anyone now about your comment, they would look with duh. Thank you so much for this incredible amazing memory and wish I had one of those snuff cans even now just as a symbolism of my life experiences and the smell of it as a little child. I have to admit it smelled good but later in life found out that it caused cancer of the mouth, throat and lungs. So sad. Hugs galore for your wonderful comments. Thanks so much!!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma my grandma put the snuff down under her lip below her teeth. She lived into her late 90s. She took care of me til I was 5. She gave me a big spoon of a little sugar and a lot of 'coal oil' to stop pin worms. She made teas out of leaves, barks, and roots daily for me when I had polio. I did great and I was very blessed to have her
Ole skool
@@shrimpymuscles8413 Wow you still amaze me with all you remember. How amazing you are. Thank you for sharing. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

Your voice is very peaceful.
I am neither Indigenous nor Mexican but I must have been in a past life because I love the foods and culture.
Thank you...please keep teaching.
❤❤God Bless you and your family
Thank you! 😃 and yes, it doesn't matter who you are or what color you are, you are grandma's grandchild and you are welcome to desire to eat whatever you wish but with what? "moderation." Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Grandma, you made it look so easy!
Kelly I have been making this since I was a little girl. You are just learning or watching. Practice makes perfect. Hugs from Navajo Grandma, HAPPY NEW YEARS MAKE 2025 THE BEST.
I became addicted to Navajo fry bread at a PowWow 20 years ago (I am Cherokee). I went to Arizona and got the recipe from a Navajo store. Now I can make it myself and not have to wait for the next PowWow!! You can also add herbs and spices to make different flavor bread! Or hit it with cinnamon and sugar when it comes out of the oil. Either way, you won't be disappointed!!
Hey may I use your authentic soulful beautiful words of yummie frybread. You could make a commercial with your words of Hozho. Thank you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love fry bread too! I grew up eating it in Arizona when ever there was a pow wow or big festival or party someone would be selling it. When I moved to Europe many years ago I came across a similar dish but made with yest dough, hungarian fried bread called langos. It's fascinating to see what they put on thiers, garlic oil with sour cream and a kind of cheese, it was very good.
@@NavajoGrandma Yes!! You are wonderful!
@@TC38Cole Smiling. Navajo Grandma
I have Cherokee Blood to and I love Fry Bread And I make it by the way I grew up in Arizona
this looks like the same dough my grand ma used to make for fried hand pies, except she used lard instead of the oil, hot to the touch, not burning hot, just hot to the touch, then either used a savory stuffing or a sweet stuffing then fried in oil on the stove, THANK YOU for showing us how to make fry bread dough
You are so easy to please yooper Mann. Thank you for watching and learning again. Yooper grandma
Empanadas some with pineapple, cherry, etc. or with refried beans
@@hastiinnaakeimedina3310 Damn! There goes the diet!
We call them pasties. My grandpa was a miner and my grandma used to make them for his lunch. They stayed warm and were easy to eat. Yum
your right, and yes we, me and my brothers still make them! some get a sweet filling,, some get the more familiar savory filling ,,, some i bake,, and some i deep fry in home rendered lard, my grand parents were owners of some tourist cabins, my other set of grand parents had a large farm,,
This woman has strong hands, bless her.
Bless you for your kind comment. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you. My daughter is Native and Mexican American and trying to teach her about her ancestry. Chippewa Cree from Montana/ Shoshone bannock. Now we can learn together how to make fry bread. ❤
Great job and thank you for being such a wonderful mother! So few take the time to teach their children everyday home skills. Soo many are lost and only see McDonalds and places to eat out. Thank you. I am going to remake most of my frybread videos. Thank you for using my recipe. Happy thoughts. Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
she pats!!!! she legit....I miss my grandma
Yup I pitter and patter LOL!! Thank you for watching and hope you try to make this dough. You will be so surprised that you can't mess it up. It will taste absolutely lovely!! New Year Hugs!! Navajo Grandma
Some of the best memories I have growing up are visiting restaurants on the reservations in Arizona and eating this delicious bread. So glad I found an easy and authentic recipe ❤
Happy you found this recipe too. Now make it yours by adding what you like as some prefer certain ingredients. I do have a frybread ingredient video as well. Enjoy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much my hubby is navajo an he loves fried bread an im mexican an i didnt know how to make this!
Wow what a beautiful combination, learn both cultures and see how incredible they both are, one complimenting the other. Beautiful. Navajo Grandma
You are such a beautiful woman! Inside and out! Thank you for showing how to make fry bread! GOD bless you and your family! ❤ from Oklahoma 😊
U r so sweet!! Have fun but don't get addicted LOL! Navajo Grandma
You're a sweetheart! Thank you so much for sharing. I love your presentation. Excellent!
Why thank you Ironken, I so appreciate your comments and feedback. Thank you for appreciating my presentation and hope that you can try your hand at making frybread dough and tasting how good it tastes. Do not get addicted. It is full of carbs but remember also there is moderation in all things. Grandma's counsel. LOL! There are more videos and I invite you to watch them. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Hey Grandma...so you post how to make these delicious things and expect me not to get addicted? Yeah right! Besides, I use carb free flour 😁
I made a batch tonight for my wife and kids. They were an absolute hit. Topped with good chorizo and the usual fixins. My wife even put cinnamon and sugar on an extra bread....loved it! My size and shapes need some practice though. Thank you for the help! What a fun meal.
And Grandma's counsel is appreciated. You rock!
@@ironken1796 You need the biggest hug!!! This is fantastic news and what a cook!! I have to say this is a wonderful beginning and with such success. Who cares what the size looks like right!!! Happy thoughts and happy eating. Great comment!! Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Grandma you not only give great recipes but, you bring out great memories that are kinda like recipes for life.
You are a blessing and I pray you receive many blessings every day.
Oh S. Lee Mccauley, what kind words of Hozho you gave to grandma. That just made my Monday. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
All right Grandma I am gunna give this a try for out VFW this week. Gunna make the dough on Wednesday for cooking on Thursday. So will let you know how it goes. I can tell I am getting hungry thinking about it
Salvage Monster - what a name! So Navajo Grandma will pray for you and bless you that this recipe will be as easy and come out perfect and soft as a baby's bottom. Don't over knead it. You will know when the consistency turns into a ball of dough easily, and all the flour comes off the sides of your bowl. On Wednesday evening, take some olive oil in your hand or barely sprinkle it around your round dough so it won't stick to the pan or bucket?? Also you won't get that hard crust from sitting over night. "Really" you should wake up early and make it then for later that morning or day. The dough will be more pliable. Wisdom from Grandma. Good luck with blessings from Navajo Grandma. Now I would like a report. Happy eating and yes, you can't mess this recipe up, know this. No matter what, you will thoroughly enjoy it way way too much:)
GRANDMA GRANDMA GRANDMA!!
We just finished eating Navajo tacos with your recipe and guidance! We are all stuffed and so happy. It was my husband, children, mother, father and brother.
The menfolk are definitely more vocal about their food when you put fry bread in front of them.
The recipe turned out perfectly. Thank you so much.
I’m going to put this in my family recipe box (which only holds recipes we adore , like things from my childhood.) and I’m going to put that it is your recipe Navajo Grandma. 💛💛💛💛
Thank you for all you do 💛💛💛
Still praying for you.
What a delightful comment!! Family eating frybread or Navajo Taco's together. Happy memories, happy thoughts, and happy tastebuds!! So happy to hear this. I keep saying, "make this your recipe, use whatever you desire and stamp your name on it next to Navajo Grandma LOL!! Hugs to you and yes, Grandma prays for you daily as well. I love everyone of my subscribers and their happy comments!! Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma it was such a treat. My dad kept complimenting me and my husband didn’t come up for air lol.
I used up lots of veggies and such. Nothing was wasted .
Yours is the only recipe I will use from now on. And I can’t wait to try this dough in the other forms you show in your other videos 💛
Thank you for sharing a part of your heart with all of us 💛
@@masuganut2082 I love your comment, I could just keep reading your comments, they are so fun and you made me laugh about your husband not coming up for air and your dad complimenting you.

Again make this your recipe. Love you so. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I’m definitely going to do a lot with this dough recipe. May even try a sweet version with strawberries for my kids.
It makes me so happy to think my comments are making you happy.

You are a blessing to the world. Thank you.❤

Just wanted to tell you I followed with you step by step and it was the best I have ever made. Thank you. I'm sending your video to everyone that asks me about them.
@tamalataylor1150 Awww you are wonderful!!!!! Love you so!

Flour has a mood about how much water it needs. Thank you for showing us, Grandmother. The food takes our mood and love into our loved ones tummies 😊 We love you 💜💜💜
MamaBear you are so right, then we add love through our labor. Such words of wisdom you just shared:) Don't forget to view my videos, watch and enjoy. Navajo Grandma
Grandmother, thank you for this! I made fry bread for my children last night using the recipe I grew up with. My wife broke her ankle and so I am doing the cooking. I learned to cook from my grandmother as a young man because my parents divorced and my father was a terrible cook. Tonight I am making fry bread tacos using your recipe. Thank you again! You are a blessing!
Wonderful! Dear R H, I salute your dignity being a wonderful father, helping and cooking for the little ones. They will remember these memories, how palatable dad's cooking was and how he took the time to mix and roll out the dough and fry up bread and put it together for their health and well being. You, sir, are few of the men who still walk this earth, men of goodness, love, care, concern, willing to truly be a father. Love you. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I am humbled by your words. May our Grandfather bless that I live up to them every day.
I'm so happy I found this! My nahlee never taught me and I seriously wanted to know how to make fry bread so the recipe didn't die out. My dad also appreciates it, since now he doesn't have to wait for family reunions to get the stuff! Thank you!
What a beautiful name, Selah. So happy to hear that you came to Navajo Grandma and found my frybread recipe. Make it yours, use whatever ingredients you would like to use. There is also another video to make it more healthy should we say. Using different flour and ingredients. That is for those who have health situations and still want to enjoy what frybread tastes like. Tell your dad he has a wonderful child to find a make this recipe. You can't believe how I made this. When my Mom and Bizhi would measure using but their hand, I would take a paper plate and when they put the salt and baking powder I was right there grabbing it with my plate. Then I would measure it and throw it back in the bowl. It bothered them but had I not done this I would not know exactly how much of what they measured with their hands. It was amazing how exact their measuring with their hands were. I hope you appreciate this and tell your dad how Navajo Grandma did this. My Mom would say "shush-lee-yadi" to me and it would frustrate her but made me happy. I sure miss them so much. Take good care of your dad. Ask him questions while he is still alive about your grandparents and his childhood. What he learned and what teachings he wants you to go by the rest of your life. Does he believe in the Holy Ones and what he knows about them. Write these down or record them but write them down. Too many people say, "I should have, I could have, but never did," its when our dearest parents are gone that we mourn as we could have done something about it. This is how you create happy memories with your dad. Bother him about his life and tell him, you know he was not perfect but you want to hear stories he can share about your grandparents and family. I hope you know your clan, if not there you go another very important talk. Your mother's and dad's clan and on your Paternal and Maternal grandparents. So far so good. You have a great time. Navajo Grandma, Axhehee!!
