I made this tonight for dinner. My mother was Japanese (Hiroshima survivor) and my grandmother on my fathers side was full blood Comanche. I still cook many of the meals she taught me. I start out with fry bread, add powdered and brown sugar with a dash of cinnamon for breakfast the next morning and a dash of honey for a mid morning snack. What a way to enjoy your food.
Bless you grandma and your granddaughter. Very special!
We love to eat it with cinnamon on sugar. We are lucky to have our Grandma.
No culinary school can compare to grandmas culinary knowledge and wisdom🕯
I agree. Especially, her measuring method 😊
It tastes better when it’s made with love and we sure love our Grandma.
When I was about 8 y.o. my grandmother was making home made bread. I asked her if she would show me how to do that. She said when my hands got a little bigger then she would. But she died before she could.
Cherish the time you have together. I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.
Oh Peggy your story made my heart break. We are so lucky to have our Grandmother. Thank you for sharing a this memory that is so close to your heart. We love you.
Peggy we thought of you Today when our Grandma started her own Channel and though you might like to give it a look. ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html Tell her hello for us and tell her we sent you!
Peggy R, this is Navajo Grandma giving you a personal invitation to come view my new channel Navajo Grandma on youtube. Love, love your comments. Keep them coming.

@@LifeIsOhana just now seeing this. Thank you!😍
I love this so much! Not only are you teaching your granddaughter Navajo you’re teaching me as well. My father is Mexican but his grandpa was Navajo. Nobody in the family speaks it anymore, only Spanish but seeing this video made me so happy! Thank you for keeping traditions alive 💛
She is so adorable.. glad your are teaching her . Teaching Children to cook has become a lost art. Proud of you for teaching. Go Girls!!!
And one day the granddaughter will be saying to her granddaughter "this is the way I learned from my grandmother, who learned from her grandmother." Such a nice way to pass on family traditions and spend a loving moment with her grandmother.
We are so blessed to be able to have such talented Grandmother. We absolutely adore her. We wanted to tell everyone who loves her that she started her very own RUclips channel ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html . I know she'd love to have you!

I subscribed. thanks for the info and invite.@@LifeIsOhana
This is a beautiful video to see traditions being passed down. makes me miss cooking with my grandma.
emyespaña Same for me. I just shared this on fb. My grandma will see it and I think she will love it as well.
I am a grandma of a smart sweet beautiful 13 year old granddaughter and I loved watching this video. 💜
Back in the day of being young, my grandma would teach me how to cook and garden.. now they are the 2 things I love to do the most.. thanks grandma..miss and love you
We are so lucky to have our Grandma. Her knowledge is something we cherish. I'm so happy you could join us and share your memory of your grandma. We can tell you loved her as much as we love our Grandma. Thank you for your kind words and sweet memories.
Grandmas are priceless and we adore our Grandma. We would love share our Grandma with you! She started her own RUclips Channel cause we begged her and you can join her hereruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html if you'd like. She'd love to have you come by for a visit!
Navajo measurements are the same as Soul Food measurements. 😁
Grandma I would not mind if you started your own Channel and taught recipes with the language. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cantetinza17 I agree I would love to see more recipes! ❤️
Thank you for watching. Frybread is definitely soul food. It is a simple process but I have always thought my mothers bread was always the best. We hope you watch again when we make more videos with our grand mother.
YESSSS I thought the same thing!
I totally agree! It was great and made me miss my favorite person in the world but it also made me remember when my gram taught me how to back a pecan pie, I smiled for most of the video. I love the white sweater! Lastly, this Caucasian wasn’t taught to measure either, it’s all by sight and feel. Maybe the rich people measure 😬
Happy Tears. I miss my Nana so much. She taught me how to make perogies and holupchi and borscht. I loved being in the kitchen with her and listening to her stories. She was orphaned in Ukraine at age 16, came to Canada to be with extended family and drove a horse-drawn taxi to make her living in the northern farming community. Nana was the queen of composting, up-cycling and recycling long before it became fashionable. She lived through two world wars, the great depression and losing her infant son due to lack of health care. Nana was an excellent seamstress and dressmaker. My favourite photo is of her and my daughter was taken from across the room while they sat on the couch. They are deep in discussion, Kidlet aged 4, Nana late 80s. They're both gone now.
Fry bread was one of the first things I ever made when I was a teenager. I remember being so excited and impressed with myself. lol. That was 30 years ago and I have since become a professional chef. You have taken me back many years and I just got super emotional and will be making this today. Your Grandma measures like most grandma's! It is a internal knowing/trust you gain over time with ingredients. Thank you!
Kristin your emotion comes thru your comment loud and clear, your heart strings touched my heart too. This is Navajo Grandma, thanks for watching but I have a new channel on youtube called: Navajo Grandma, come watch and subscribe to enjoy learning more about the Navajo culture. Hugs.
Keep the tradition going! How wonderful that grandma is teaching her granddaughter. Learn your native tongue Lani before it’s gone forever. Please keep it going. History is being taken away. Love your video. 👍🏻
Tina you are so wise!! Great comment. This is a personal invitation from Navajo Grandma to invite you to come subscribe to my new channel on youtube: Navajo Grandma. See ya!
I feel like I’ve been invited into your home to spend time with your family. Thank you.
Oh Suzanne your comment made me feel like I accomplished my goal. Come watch, subscribe, enjoy, RELAX, learn my Navajo culture as I learned it from my grandma. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch and subscribe. Hugs.
Thank you for sharing your native language and fry bread , I throughly enjoyed being your guest

Nothing like a Good Grandmother ❤The wisdom they give you is undeniably important to our lives.
“Navajo tablespoon” 🤣🤣🤣 no lard in this house that’s right mama!
You two would be great cooking friends! Speaking of..... our Grandma has been cooking us a storm over at her BRAND NEW RUclips channel ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html . It's a channel of her very own and we're so excited!
Vita Games, this is Navajo Grandma and my personal invitation to view and subscribe on youtube my new channel, Navajo Grandma. Love your comment!
Life Is Ohana yes grandma!
I absolutely love this. I love how Grandma is passing down not only the recipe but the language. I wish I could have known my grandma's longer and better. My mom's dad was Italian his parents came to America from the old country he spoke fluent Italian but didn't teach my mom or siblings. I wish I could have gotten to learn it from him. That said, this video is beautiful because the younger generation is learning from the older generation language and food tradition. Good job Grandma.
I was a Tribal cop in NM and the natives have great family values. Jicarilla Apache and Cherokee myself. Thank you beautiful ladies.
My mother made this on Saturday for lunch. We put the hard cream at the top of the milk and plum jam on it while it was hot. I am 76 nothing ever tasted better!
I love that you mentioned without aluminum, more natural. I always think we need to get back to basics, all this over packaging etc., but mostly first for our health. Using the better quality ingredients, thanks so much!! I found the recipe that I was looking for.
Elana Fariss : There is no need at all for aluminum in our foods . People should not use aluminum pans / cook ware either , for the aluminum leaches out in the food . Animal fat / Lard is another killer . The animals couldn’t take off that fat - our bodies can’t either .
Yes , NATURAL is the only way to go . ❤️
@@maryisabell8760 Yes! Also, I didn't hear you mention whether you use unbleached flour. Do you have a problem with bleached flour? Thank you :)
Elana Fariss Aluminum is one of the things found to cause Alzheimer’s.
Elana Beth Fariss omg yeah! I had no idea baking powder had aluminum! I learned something new today. I need to up grade my pantries
ColeMa'm I didn’t know either. Off to the health food store as soon as I can!
Grandmother says, "Like my Grandmother did..." Instant thumbs up!!!
That was kind of a jolt! Six generations of fry bread right there, like "doing the time warp"! I bet great-great grandma didn't use OLIVE OIL! I'm thinking that would be good with some fresh LARD in it!
Pedro you have heart string memories, how precious. Inviting you to subscribe to my new youtube channel Navajo Grandma, ongoing series of Navajo culture from Grandmah!!
@@LifeIsOhana I go to find your site..."ah-she"...salt...
Thank you for seeing me...
I hope she seriously learns her native tongue from her elder’s while she can.
Janice Havens : U R absolutely right - learn while she can . Dialect will soon be gone . No better teacher than her GRANDMA ❤️
Gramma is very pretty
My children had a half Cherokee and Comanche great grandmother tiny as an 8-10 year old. I wish could have met her.
This is the best of life
I want you as my Grandma!
I love the way Lani loves and interacts with her grandmother.

What a lovely girl and beautiful grandmother.
Thank you for comments we all need daily. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. Watch and subscribe to enjoy.
This is so awesome! The world needs more of this hands on teaching! Our kids would appreciate it in the long run. Hats off to Lani for taking the time to learn, and to Grandma for teaching her these important things!
You two are adorable! My little granny's bread recipe is a hand of this, a half a hand of that..everything she made was delicious. She taught us but it doesn't taste the same. We decided it was because her hands transferred her love to the bread❣
We're still practicing our Fry bread skills but goodness we can never make it like Grandma!!
You are exactly right about the love being a part of cooking. If I am not feeling well it's hard to come up with that love as an ingredient no matter how much I love the people or person I am cooking for and it is good but not as good as it usually is when I'm well. This is a beautiful video of that love being included I think. They are so adorable and I hope I can make this soon. I really hope they make more recipes too.
I love hearing grandma teaching her granddaughter the Navajo language and I was trying to learn to. 💜
Twila Friday we used to call my great grandmother “little granny” also. I miss her. ❤️
Twila, we thought of you Today when our Grandma started her very own RUclips Channel. We're so excited we can hardly stand it! You're gonna love it. ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html come visit!
@@kchasehenson57 I think that love is always kneaded into the dough.
Guess what! Grandma has been making lots of recipes you're gonna love! Even better, she's started her very own channel, ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html Come and visit! We'd love to have you.
I enjoyed watching you and your grandmother cooking tradition recipe and teaching her the language this is our we keep hertige
we're so lucky to have her!
I liked when she said gently mis. It reminded me of when I first started to make tortillas, I would not be gentle when I kneaded the dough and my tortillas would never come out the right way untill I realized I was too rough with the dough.
Rosalind this is Navajo Grandma inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma for more cooking tradition recipes and teachings.
I love this video. You see a woman not just teaching her granddaughter how to make fry bread, but a woman instilling family tradition, family heritage & family pride for generations to follow.
We really are so lucky to have her. She is such a blessing to our family.
She has her own RUclips now. Look her up. Navajo Grandma
@@LifeIsOhana will do!
I love that she is teaching you the language as well as foods and culture. (Also happy she is cooking with a healthy oil). I was smiling the whole time. (Yeah I'm a white guy too. Various flatbreads are part of all cultures, I think. Am curious about the variations.)
Jay J loved your comment with my smile too, white guy or not, you matter, come subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. You will be missed.
Proud to see u speak ur language
We'd love to learn more! Do you speak your native language?
Our native language is called woolshootse.
Our tribal school learns it youngsters are me no I know bits
Learn much u can I learning mine bits by bits lol

Cherokee Heart CT you are so kind, this is a personal invitation to come subscribe to my new youtube channel Navajo Grandma. Keep those wonderful comments coming, we all need them.
Why is your hair tied back? That is so awful to watch that long hair being tossed around, gross!
The Fine language is wonderful to hear with translation. The traditional way for a Navajo woman is to have the hair pulled back, I was just told that the woman's thoughts are kept organized and clear. I've seen many cooking shows on where the hair is hanging down, it's so unappetizing. Gross I wouldn't eat any of that food, would the public want to eat food, with hair strands found in the food? Take notice. People never even mention good hand cleaning,before the presentation begins, wow.
Love when grandma make traditional foods to teach newer gens ❤️😍🥰💕
Michelle love your comment. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. See you there.
I love how patient and encouraging Grandmother is with her Granddaughter. I always wished I had been born Native American. At least I get to enjoy your culture through wonderful videos like this!
Sherri you are so kind, thank you for your comment, I am personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. Come watch/subscribe!!
Went to a Pow wow in Richmond Va. Best Fry bread ever. My kids learned about the culture, the best mentors and people ever. I felt so honored to be there sharing thier ways and learning. To make this Fry bread will bring me back to all the wonderful people I met. My kids are grown but havevserious appreciation and respect for the culture. They will be sooo excited for the Fry bread. Hospitality truely unites souls.
"Grandmother" looks like the Mother and Lani her Daughter. BEAUTIFUL both of you. Lani, you are a Spit Image of your Grandmother, it's uncanny. She could pass as your Mother easily and so young looking.
We're going to tell her you said that! It will make her whole day! Actually you can tell her yourself! She just started her very own Channel ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html She would love to have you visit

@@LifeIsOhana Okay SUBBED and clicked Bell. My subs are private so you won't see my name but I AM subbed. Thank You 😊
I ❤️ Navajo folks! I was born & raised in AZ. Could listen to y’all speak in your native language all day-beautiful!😍
Thank you for sharing. I taught my son last night. My Great Grandmother would be proud. God Bless your beautiful family.
Listen to your grandma pretty girl. Learn everything you can from her. You will treasure this time with her forever. The day will come when you will realize how lucky you were to make this memories with her. And you know what's even better.. you have these video to watch over and over. Lucky, lucky you.
This is absolutely wonderful. I learned to cook from my grandmothers, my mother and my father each great at their own dishes. I love the teaching of the language, the culture, the humor, and a proper measuring kit. Amazingly grandmother does a traditional recipe but teaches the right ingredients to make the dish healthier. So much love in the teaching and the learning. Thank you for this gift of multiple lessons. Outstanding!
Family time in the kitchen has always been taught in our family. We love food. We have also seen some of the traditional meals become slightly evolutionized in the process. The name navajo or Dine means the people. One of my favorite things my mother taught me while cooking was stories about her when she was younger. There was also so many stories about my ancestors that took place in the kitchen. We appreciate your comment and support.
WOW I felt like I got an OSCAR for our frybread video. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. Need your comments and memories.
I made this tonight and it turned out PERFECT. It was so good, my husband asked for Elephant Ears with leftovers. I’m Indigenous and for years was told over handling (kneading) the dough makes it tough. You proved that theory wrong. For the first time in 39 years, I kneaded my dough. 🥰💝🙏🏽💒😷
I never measure either lol and it drives my Sister insane ! "How the hell do you know you're doing the right amount ?" .... You should have paid attention to what Grammie was trying to teach us Sister 😜🤣
I get nervous baking without measuring. I never measure when I cook, by baking is a different story. So easy to mess up. End up with a cake that falls in or a bread that doesn't rise. One day I'll get the hang of it. For now I follow recipes to the T... but I am getting the hang of what a teaspoon or a cup looks like without measuring, etc. I could never remember a whole recipe off the top of my head and also not measure anything lol.
Grandma made a video just for your sister! Oh wait I forgot to mention...... she has her own RUclips Channel now ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html You should join her!

She is as beautiful as her grandmother.Such a treat to learn the language so cool teaching her the traditional way of cooking.
Grandma is absolutely beautiful.💖💞
Thanks for watching. Our grandma is the mother of 7 kids. We have been lucky to be half navajo from grandma. My mother was a outdoor recreation major in college. Maybe this could be a big part of why we love the outdoors and eating homemade food. Thanks for your support.
coolest grandma ever.......what i would give to have you in my life, love seeing you pass your knowledge down, she will look back at this day for the rest of her life
Two beautiful ladies making one of my favorite foods. Thanks for posting this. It was delightful.
What a special moment for her to learn to make make Navajo food and still learn to talk the language !! Amazing!
I'm caucasian and my granny and mama taught me at a young age how to measure with my hands also. I'm a grandma and great grandma now and taught my daughters the same and now my granddaughters. Thank you for sharing. Your granddaughter is so adorable

💕 Love how you learn from your beautiful Grandma. These lessons will last a lifetime.
Your very lucky to have a grandmother like that. I love learning bout the old ways.
I made Navajo tacos yesterday and I did make the dough and frybread. I have never used olive oil to fry the dough in but I might purchase a bottle of olive oil and give it a try. You did a great job with your grandmother and your Navajo speaking is very good.
We've heard both ways. It's hard to get the olive oil hot without smoking. Our Grandma likes it cause it's healthier. Her fry bread turns out so yummy but we do have to open a few doors sometimes.
@@LifeIsOhana try grapeseed oil, or safflower oil...good at high temps.
Avocado oil is healthy and can handle a higher temperature
Wow , seeing you together brings back a lot of memories with my Grandma ! PRECIOUS !!!
Lani treasure these moments with your grandma...some of my favorite memories are in the kitchen with my grandma...I was 3yrs old when we lost her and I miss her terribly!!
We do not use lard in this house, it can clog your arteries...proceeds to fry dough 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious she is so adorable!! It would be really cool to see more recipes as you give the Navajo word for an ingredient!!
We will have to ask her about that. Or better yet you could visit her at ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html . She started her very own RUclips Channel today and I know she'd love to have you!
Dana you made me laugh and realize just what I said and what you saw. Smart. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel called: Navajo Grandma. Come watch and keep us on our toes.
The granddaughter's giggles is so cute. Bless her for her effort to learn from her grandma.
That's how our Grandma measured too. This was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and maybe I will try to make some dah díníilghaazh.

My wife and I watched. It was beautiful watching your granddaughter learning to make frybread and learn a bit of your language. That's important. Keep up with the good work.
Love to watch young ones learn a tradition like this. Plus the bread looks delicious and i cannot wait to try it out. Thank you for sharing.
DeAnna thank you for your comment. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. See you there w comments.
You’re both adorable! Nothing better than learning from Grandma, that’s what makes it extra sweet! Thank you both for sharing.
This was so enjoyable I had to watch it twice because I was having so much fun I didn’t pay attention to the ingredients!!! Make more Thank you!!!
Loved your comment, guess what, I have made a new youtube channel called Navajo Grandma, come watch and subscribe. This is Navajo Grandma inviting you with hugs.
You two are beautiful, wonderful you are teaching her your language and how to cook. May the LORD'S blessings be upon you always.
Didn't know that about clabber girl having aluminum in it? That is toxic! Thank you! Good vlog!👍
Thanks for your comment. Our mom has tweeked parts of this recipe as she learns more about being healthy. I have not been able to taste the difference in the frybread. Thanks for watching.
Sandra Davis OH BOY, I've been using that for years too! 😫
I didn’t know either. Thank you!
Tie the hair up granddaughter.. don't want family to be pulling your hair out of their mouth 👎
Cayuga Feather this is Navajo Grandma inviting you to come watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. Come and learn more.
I pray that more young people take on the traditions and cultures of their elders. It’s so important that we remember these languages and customs. These are things that make America special. These are stories that are a part of our fabric and should never be forgotten. So much of native histories are passed down orally. It’s important to continue the language.
Thank you for sharing this moment. I will be making this with my son
Lani, we love that name btw. Guess what happened today! Our Grandma started her very own RUclips Channel. She would absolutely love it if you came for a visit. Here's her address ruclips.net/video/3PZHb6EXHJQ/видео.html come by anytime!
Lani and Aj hugs to you both and hope your bread came out yummy. You can't ruin this. impossible. Watch and subscribe to my new channel on youtube: Navajo Grandma. Come and enjoy.
@@LifeIsOhana yes, i watched and sub. 😁
This is so special. My Nana passed away while my mom was pregnant with me and I struggled all of my 20's to get my Nana's recipes (still don't have much). Wish I was able to have a relationship with her and cook with her in the kitchen
It is so awesome that grandma is passing down traditions, recipes and language. However, my Caucasian grandma taught me to cook the same way. A little bit of this, a little bit of that and when it feels right. My basis in cooking comes from her. I have always taught my kids to cook and most of it is the way that my Momo taught me.
Kristina Zissa I suspect that it's only relatively recently actual measurements are used in a family setting. My great grandma taught by eye and feel too. Sometimes certain recipies would require specific pots/spoons to get the correct amount. It's only because of my mother that we have some of the family recipies documented and written down. Wish I had more of them, but it makes me happy to be able to make something that so many have enjoyed.
That's how I learned, too--"a little bit of this, a little bit of that", if it looks right, or feels right. 😏😋

I love this video and I haven't even gotten halfway through it. What a treasure for grandma to be sharing her unique language and traditional bread. She is so fortunate to have these traditions passed in to her
Thank you for watching. In our cultures we are taught “Respect Your Elders”.
The Elders have wisdom that will help the youth on their journey in this life.
Im learning so i can teach my daughter
Never had that close family tradition..n i want to start

Great that she is teaching teen to make traditional food. ❤️
Good cooks do not measure. I love this so much. I learned to cook from my mama, who learned from her mama, grandma, and great aunt. We are a mixture of Gullah/Geechee, French, and Native American. My dad's step-grandma was Navajo. Thank you so much for sharing your traditions!
Knowing your culture is such an important way to stay connected with your ancestors and know where you come from. We're so blessed to have Grandma to pass down the art of cooking from her Grandmother.
Yá'át'ééh! Sounds like you have a rich heritage. Our Family is Navajo, Hawaiian, Japanese, and Caucasian. We enjoy all of our cultures. We enjoy all of these cultures and sharing them. We're so grateful you were able to join us and thank you for the comments
You two are just soo beautiful i love that you are teaching her the language and how to make things the way you were taught..this made me almost cry happy tears!!!!
I love grandma. No caucasian measurements,... too funny. That's right grandma, take back what you can and claim it!!! Great recipe.
LoL... nothing about frybread is ' 'traditional' Navajo. Its the ingredients white man gave to the tribes after they were forced onto reservations. Donuts are German.
@@disf5178exactly
What an AWSOME video!! Love the grandma teaching the language while making the bread to her baby’s child.
That was an amazing video your grand-daughter is so beautiful. My granddaughter cooks with me as well it's such a blessing to pass the traditions thumbs up thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed this. My parents retired from west Texas to Cortez, Colorado, and they lived in the four corners for more than 20 years. I became fascinated with all the local history and traditions. My parents have passed many years ago, and I don't get to go to the four corners as often. This video made me homesick for those days.
Thank you for sharing!, your both so beautiful!, from southern Arizona 😊
You are so generous to share this with us so we can help keep this tradition alive!!
I miss cooking with my mum an nana 💕. I thoroughly enjoyed an loved watching this video. Thank you both. Grandma/Nana you so need to do your own channel ❤
This one s "Her" channel through Her Grandaughter I believe.
Ally guess what I took your advice and come watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. I am personally inviting you to come watch, enjoy and smile.
Being from Arizona, one thing I have missed is Fry Bread since I have moved away. I'm so glad I found this video. And a big kudos to Gramma for teaching us the Navaho way of pronouncing and doing it right. Thank You!
Thanks for watching. Fry bread is definitely a craving I have often. Our grand mother has a rule. If you make the dough, I will cook it.
That was how I learned how to make fry bread dough.
My white grandma measured exactly the same way lol. This video was so much fun to watch! I miss my grandmother so very much.
In our native community we often joke about whose family makes the best fry bread. The ingredients are the same but the only real difference I have noticed is with the type of oil and how long they kneed the dough. Kneeding to much can make your bread chewier. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Zephyrr Sky thank you for your comment come watch, subscribe and let me be your grandma for the while. My new channel is Navajo Grandma. Keep watching.
My grandma used to make these for us every time we would come to visit her and my grandpa. My grandpa used to call them survival bisquits. She made hers with lard though. My grandma Mary was Navajo and my papa Nick was Apache. I still remember the smell of survival bisquits and beans cooking any time we would visit. It is so important for the elders to teach their grand kids the traditional ways of native American living. I only wish I paid more attention when I was young and they were still around. Never take anything for granted.
Grandma you look great. Fell in love with Navajo fry bread when I live in the four corners for 3 years. I'll try your recipe 😉. Thank you.
Julia, thank you for your comment, I am personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my NEW channel on youtube called Navajo Grandma. Come enjoy.
What a wonderful video. Being a grandma is a very important job, and I always try to remember that I am making memories with my grandchildren. My memories of the time with my grandparents are the most precious ones from my childhood, especially time in the kitchen with my grandmas. Bless you!
Jan thank you for your wonderful comment. This is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. See you there.
This was a very good video. I like it when you said you were modern because of the hot water facet. I like cooking videos and I like videos with kids. You are a big kid to me because I am 7. I like it when your mom said do not flop it around and then said you were a good mixer. I will ask my mom or dad to watch this with me later so they can help me make this bread. I like making stuff. That is cool that you were teaching me new words. I already know spanish and english and I like to learn words in other languages. The fry bread looks cool and good. I like your channel. I subscribed and now we can be youtube friends because I make videos too. I make videos about kids stuff but I also make videos about skateboarding. I wish I could try that bread because you gave it 10 out of 10. Great video.
Thank you Toy Island TV. Our daughter in this video speaks fluent Chinese. Our grand mother in this video speaks fluent Navajo and didn't learn english until she turned 11. We will have to watch your skateboarding videos. Our dad who is in our videos skateboarded for years and was sponsored. Thanks again for watching.
Hi. That is cool. I will start learning Chinese in 3rd grade I think. That is cool that your grandma knows Navajo. My grandma was from Mexico and did not learn english until she was 18 I think. My grandma and Grandpa live in Arizona. That is cool. My Dad skateboards too. He has lots of skateboard trophies that are at my Grandma and grandpas house. He says he was a sponsored amateur. He said that is not as good as being sponsored. i will look for your dads skateboard videos.
A _seven year old_ wrote this? That's amazing! I have seen many writings from seven year olds, but I've never seen one who could write this well. Seven year olds can write simple sentences, commonly misspell words, and generally do not write long coherent passages. They are still sounding out words and it takes a lot of effort for them to write long paragraphs. This kid must be a child prodigy!
@@mygirldarby Hi! That is very nice of you. I am 9 now. I just like to write and I ask for help sometimes. Have a nice day
Toy Island TV this is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma to learn more about my Navajo culture. You may be 7 but you are way beyond your years as you watch and learn more from youtube. Remember to learn only the good stuff to make you the best person, don't forget God n your prayers. My grandma always said: "A man stands tallest when on his knees."
Hard to beat learning these things from your elders while they are in your life!! Bet 20 years from now this child will still be able to make fry bread!! And she very well may need to for feeding her loved ones!! Great video, thank you sharing!!
You guys are lovely! It must be a native thing I don't measure anything either!
Ahehee Veronica, this is Navajo Grandma personally inviting you to come watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel called: Navajo Grandma. See you there.
That beautiful turquoise sink..😃!!
Grandma, you n me could hang all day and cook.. love your style and humour.. thanks to you for this great video and passing down knowledge!!💛
Aloha 🌈 Hawaiian salt would be healthy also. Ohana, (family) 👪 macadamia nut oil may also taste good as a healthy alternative to Crisco or lard.
Thanks for the comment. We love hawaiian salt. Our channel is named LIFE IS OHANA because my father is Hawaiian Japanese from Maui. Our parents have since divorced but both have taught us the importance of family. We have changed some of the original recipe because of all the diabetes that follows our people. We are hoping to make small changes that don't change the flavor of our awesome recipes.
Regina hey I tried that oil and it was good as well. Thank you. This is Navajo Grandma inviting you to watch and subscribe to my new youtube channel: Navajo Grandma. Enjoy.
Omgssssh! You guys are SO CUTE!!! This is such an awesome RUclips find!!! ❤️
Your family is beautiful! Learn all you can from your grandma! The poetry and flow of your language is important to learn, enjoy the journey. Jipau iih welo😁
I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER ... WHAT FUN!!! KEEP LEARNING CHILD!!
