Home, to me, was always a blend of deep Slavic tradition and new world culture, having been raised by a Croatian mother and Serbian father among nine siblings. My world, as a child of these early immigrants to America, was never easy, but my fondest memories always evoke the enjoyment of many old country recipes.
With this rich heritage of foods and customs, holidays and special occasions provided a strong identity for my three children. In addition to celebrating memorable get-togethers with extended family, they received the extra benefit of living and attending school in the former Yugoslavia for two years. This also became my long-awaited opportunity to reconnect with relatives from both Serbia and Croatia and to collect authentic recipes for my Slavic library.
Family interest in our ethnicity subsequently led to a long-term involvement by my children in a locally organized youth group where singing, dancing, and playing the original instruments of our homeland were taught. As their director, a highlight of their participation was a tour of the former Yugoslavia where the group performed in major cities and the significant villages of their ancestors.
Always providing sweet treats for my family was one expression of my passion for baking. For eighteen years my many co-workers have been supplied with "Monday morning blues" treats and, without exception, all of my real-estate open houses have included an array of freshly baked goodies from my kitchen!
Even though my greatest life energies have been expressed through my children and kitchen, I continue being of service at the annual city-wide Community Services Day to clean-up local playgrounds, paint schools, participate in heart walks, and maintain contact with elderly aunts, uncles, and friends in rest homes.
Countless families of East European immigrants currently celebrate their revered customs and traditions because of cherished family roots like mine. Collectively, their quiet commitment to preserve these values of hearth and home continues to contribute to the rich ethnic diversity enjoyed in America today!
