Thank you so much. Sending Love, Light and Prayers ❤❤❤
Wow, I haven't received Love, Light & Prayers. Thank you and feel so moved by the simplicity of goodness & kindness from you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
That looks so good we grown up eating like that , I buy New Mexico green chili s every year in August I would like to learn to grill the bread👍My Grandpa was born in 1899, in Los Lunas New Mexico & so it’s a family tradition to roast Chilie outside and my Grandparents & my Mom & Dad are all passed over to be with Out LORD JESUS I do it every year so does my sister I have Sis. She cooks so good. I cook like my Grandpa taught me..
Well you have the frybread recipe so instead of frying you grill. Soo yummie. My favorite. Navajo Grandma
I'm mexican a remember my grandmother cooking similar lake you in you made me cry remembering my grandmother
Fernando, how kind to think Gma reminds you of your amazing Gma. She still loves you and blesses you. You will be able to see her again. Bless you. Navajo Grandma
You're absolutely right, our hands are the best tools! I remember my mother's stories cooking all day for everyone that worked on the farm. They would start at 4 am, end at 8 pm, 365 days...vacations didn't exist...food kept "the hands happy"... nothing fancy, just nutritional and high in calories. Really love your stories!!
Oh I love comments like yours. You bring heartstrings reality memories of yesteryear. Thank you. I shall read this many times again. You express yourself so beautifully. Yes our fingers are our tools like GPA & daddy would remind us if there were no forks & spoons. Great happy memories!! Thank you again for commenting & subscribing. Love you sweet one. Navajo Grandma
Grandma needs her own cooking show. Her food looks good. I would like to see a native cooking show cooking up some native food. 😏👍
Oh Matt, I am not ready to do that. Its bad enough to put my videos together. Also dealing with the weather right now. I do know it is wonderful to watch and thank you so much in having such goodness for grandma. There are only a numbered amount of Navajo food to make. Seasonal and everyday. The ones who you need to find are the Navajo guys who cook up the food and watch them add spices that are not traditional but then watching them taste what they make its mouth watering. My dad was the best cook. I swear when he made scrambled eggs, there is no one even my Mom who could match the scrambled eggs my dad made. It was unreal. Guys have such a knack for this. How about you Matt? LOL! "Turning the tables on you brother." Seriously I love cooking outside and that is my heart. There is nothing like the smell of cedar while making frybread or Navajo tortillas. Then the aroma of the pungent anaheim chili's cooking over the coals. Nothing like it. I love that. Great comment. Hugs from Navajo Grandma.
@Navajo Grandma
I went to a trade school and took culinary arts as well as becoming a cook in the marine corps. I'm not a professional chef. But I think I cook pretty well. I love cooking and trying different ethnic foods. I'm a type 1 diabetic, so I try to find ways to make different foods diabetic friendly, which is a discovery on its own. I have my first fry bread at my first powwow in Massachusetts (which is where I live), and I loved it. Especially the (as they called it ) Indian tacos.
Thank you again. Be well, and God bless 😁
@@mattnobrega6621 You are wonderful. Well I just gave the t ype of flours to use for another person with type 1 diabetes. Using different flour such as Coconut Flour, Chickpea Flour, Almond Flour and more. That is to make frybread. I am moving and need to finish. I am also looking for a place for gpa and I. I love your comments. Pray always for healing. Grandma loves you so. Proud of you and what you have done. Someday you might cook for grandma, who knows. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
You are adorable and your food looks delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipes, culture, and traditions with us.
You are so welcome! Thank you for this lovely comment as I do appreciate your kind words dearly. When you share your culture and traditions it is nice to know people are receptive. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
💕 love watching you keeping up cooking
Well after this next video we can cook and learn navajo and Etc. Hugs, Navajo Grandma
I love watching your videos I'm learning lots thank you soo much . I also love how you tell your family stories as you cook .
Thank you Audrey. I can't help but tell who taught me and how I watched as a child to do likewise as my maternal grandmothers were amazing to watch and I desired to do as they did. I love t hat. Navajo Grandma
I am an Ojibwe Potawatomi Kokomis from way up in Obtario, Canada. Since summer is upon us, I am going to give the Navajo bread a try. The Navajo bread reminds me of open over the fire Bannock bread.
I pray KITICHI MANIDO blesses you with love, peace, and happy days.
Roberta, thank you pretty girl and what a Nation to come from way up in Ontario, Canada. A long way from the Navajo Nation. Why thank you for sending this comment and I know you will make this absolutely perfect. I know it will taste good. Just don't make it a habit or get addicted to it. I am so happy to hear from you our sister in Canada. Thank you for blessing Navajo Grandma. I needed that. Axhehee shi yazhi. (Thank you my litte one) Hugs from the Navajo Nation to Canada to Robert!! Navajo Grandma

The Love just flows
When you give your tummie love with yummie Naneeskadi, yup the love just flows. You made me smile. Navajo Grandma
You had me at- That's my mother right there.
I miss her ways.
🥺😥🥰💜I miss my Mama.
Oh Brandy don't we all miss our mothers. I told God the day my Mother passed away, "I didn't think moms and dads died." Why did you allow that God? It was such a huge talk I had with God with tons of tears I thought wouldn't stop. But here we are still moving forward and remembering the best of our mothers. Glad Navajo Grandma could bring some wonderful memories and evening moments of missing how dear our mothers were and still are though we are not with them in body. They are aware of us truly. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for the generous words, you are so comforting. I completely agree with you. I'm sure your mother is up there in Heaven running around and bragging about her girl! Hug 🤗@@NavajoGrandma
@@NavajoGrandma God Bless you always. 💓💗
This wonderful lady makes me so proud of being Dine,our food is the best god bless you.
Emanuel, why thank you for being proud of being Dine'. We do have wonderful food and yes we enjoy our Naneeskadi outside and that is my druthers. Your comment of Hozho made me smile and happy. Aheehe. Navajo Grandma
Navajo Grandma; I know this is one of your older videos but what I wouldn’t give to eat one of your delicious creations with you outside. Glorious! I love you both…
Hi pretty girl, just say when and I am traveling and maybe that wish can come about. I would love to fix you a meal, and break bread with you. I am in Alabama and had dinner with one of my subscribers who is as wonderful as you are. We had ribeye steaks with the desert chocolate brownies with a scoop of ice cream and hot chocolate swirled around on it. Goodness it was good. So let me know. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
That Tortilla looks delicious!
It is. Amazing. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, Grandma! I love how you tell stories and teach the words. You tell your sister someone is really enjoying their poor man's food.
Thank you for watching and learning. I do believe this is food fit for a king and queen. Such comfort food. Yum. 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
You are absolutely awesome!!! I can't wait to sit down and just watch you for hours!!!! BEST YOU TUBE FIND YET!!
Your recipes look good! The mountains in the background just above the fence are a perfect backdrop!
Thank you for being so observant. Subscribe and keep enjoying. Navajo Grandma

Que rico! delicious!, im watching from Mexicali, my mom was not navajo, actually my dad is from Sonora and my mother from Chiapas, but she use to do me a flour tortilla with chilli Anaheim and carne asada, I miss my mom ;(
Hello to beatryxa from Mexicali. Thank you for your comment. Yes, your folks made wonderful tortillas and with lovely anaheim chili, yum. Isn't it amazing how we remember our wonderful parents with all the foods they prepared for us. Such heartstrings get tugged when we talk about food. Take care and remember your mother by writing down and making the types of foods she prepared and share them. You do have a story to tell. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Hugs lady, i feel like my mother, she was like you, very lovely and beautiful, so caring for us. I miss my mother so much, I remember she made us a fish soup with vegetable and a rare herb from her place, and also a salsa made with the green anaheim chilli, thank so much for you warm word and hugh, God bless you lady.
Love to hear storìes,and culture. I love to hear language. Tfs
Well there is a lot of language here in the Dine' Bizaad. Thank you for watching and supporting Navajo Grandma. So appreciated!! Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
I use to stand besides my mom as she did the tortillas. My job was to pat them down with a cloth & flip while they cooked on the comal. Yummm carnitas and fresh homemade tortillas they are the best! Thanks Grandma for bringing back the memories!
Thanks for sharing. MMMM sounds so good. It tastes even better when Mom makes them. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
So right, say I miss her potato soup and pow there's a pot next time I come over. My treat after each of my kids births. Mom's not open like you are, she does it thru her cooking. You are a blessing you your family. 💗Radiates from you thru the screen. glad to have come across your site/video. Peace Grandma
Wonderful, best memories of 30 years spent in this land with its kind people and the fantastic food 😘
Amen and thank you for your wonderful comment Brigitte. Grandma sends her hugs. Navajo Grandma
Your the BEST, NAVAJO GRANDMA! I absolutely love 💕 watching your videos 🤗
Thank you Lee, Grandma’s cheerleader. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Oh my goodness! I can almost smell and taste that! I still make it for my friend's and myself. When the old cast iron wood fired cook stove was hot enough my mother would chuck chillies and other yummy veggies down on the top of the stove till they looked like your's! She alway's cooked enough so she could can them. Melt in your mouth! Thank you for sharing! A'HO 💚
Oh my you make me miss my Grandparents hogan. The smell and sounds of food being cooked is unforgettable. Great comment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Looks delicious thank you for sharing
So doing this with my grandkids Hazel and Joe 💝.
Well grandma you will so enjoy this and I promise you will be remembered forever. I used meat off the ribs I baked and it was melting in the mouth and tender. Oh my goodness! My son almost fainted. He was amazed at how wonderful it tasted. Gpa wanted more LOL! Its a taste that you can't but describe as heavenly. My Mom's cooking outside always made my mouth water. She was so wonderful and I sure miss her. Now go make great YUMMIE memories. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I miss my grandma. Thank you ma
We all miss our grandma, but her memories are wonderful and now pass on her legacy and do the things she use to do, cook, her kindness, her hugs, give it to others and see how grandma will come back in her spirit so many times. Pray for her and tell her how you feel. She is on this earth just in another sphere, the spirit world is here on this earth. Know this. This grandma loves you though and doing her best to teach you what your grandma would give a high five to. Smile. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
the trotilla alone had me drooling :D
Well stop drooling and make this yourself. Its delish!! And Yummie!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma oh i already got the ingredients bought them yesterday!
@zarkorockera Woo hoo!! Boy you are on the ball!! Report. I love results!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Awesome…just awesome. You remind me, so much, of my grandma.
Well thank you and I get that a lot. There must be many grandma's running around or use to run around looking and doing things like grandma. It is a compliment. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
Im Navajo and during traveling a job to Utah from Abq, we passed through Shiprock. They stopped to eat at taco bell there, but I went to the roadside stand for a meal just like this. $5 for the naneeskadi & mutton w/ green chile, and a $1 for the root beer soda. Those guys in the truck with me were kicking themselves because it smelled sooooo guuud and i wouldnt share as they already ate at taco bell.
JEFF you smarty, you definitely made the best choice, of course. There is nothing like Naneeskadi, mutton and green chili’s. Nothing. Great comment shi yazhi. Ahehee. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma another side story, i wiped the grease on my knees and elbows and smelled good the whole drive to Utah
Thank you for being such a wonderful tea
Well what would happen if I didn't have such a kind student such as yourself and I would not have the great opportunity to teach you and others. Thank you so much for being receptive. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
I wish you were my mother, that looks so delicious. And your love for your family and the food you cook shows through your videos. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your sweet comments of Hozho. You are my grandchild though, as all who subscribe become my grandchildren. There is always room in grandma's heart for all. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, Navajo Grandma... I have been watching your videos, trying to learn. I like when you make the sign boards to read and study. I am much too old for you to be my grandmother, 62 next week, but having you as as a grandmother is an honor. Thank you for your videos.
Dine' life has become familiar to me through the writings of authors Hillerman and Thurlo. Thank you for showing me what fry bread and Navajo tacos are and how to prepare. You have raised my level of understanding. By the way: I apply my Grandmother's and Grandfather's teaching every day. My appreciation for them grows each day. How I wish they could know this. Thank You and good health, peace, and beauty to You and Yours🙏
Thank you for honoring your ancestors. You are one of a kind. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, Grandma, for this wonderful video and instructions for this meal 🥰
You are so welcome. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Watching you eat the food you prepare is better than watching chefs on the food network. Sometimes when my comfort foods hit my tastebuds I do a little dance haha
Well, I would dance too but I don't think you want to see that. Hahahaha. Ask my children. Navajo Grandma
I love this! Amazing! Love to learn from other cultures. Recently I discover that my kids have at least 13% Native in their DNA. Maybe it doesn't sound like much, but it makes me feel proud of my roots. I'm from Puerto Rico and for many years they made us believe that there was nothing left of that. But to this day there is still some of that heritage. Thanks for sharing your recipes and more. You are my new history teacher. Amazing all your knowledge. Many blessings to you!
That is awesome! Wonderful to hear about your children's ancestry. They need to learn more. What a blessing Rosalyn. Welcome again and I love sharing what I was taught and my children encouraged me to do this. Its not perfect videos as grandma does these herself, we get through to the world and you most of all. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Yes this bread is delicious
Love it is like walking in heaven
It really is! Great comment! Navajo Gr
Love everything you do and show I appreciate it.. ty
My hubby is algonquin
Well, welcome to our Tribal circle and NAVAJO Grandma family. Thank you for subscribing & supporting grandma. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Grandma your videos are so healing for the soul💙 I wish I could give you a big hug 🤗 bless you xx
Did you know words hug, I don’t know if I told you before. Thank you sweetheart. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
You are beautiful an a amazing teacher thank you for your content
Angelquillin if you can see beauty here, its because of the beautiful Hozho you have within yourself. Thank you for your comment. Give your Navajo Grandma a thumbs up and spread the word. Hugs always. There is always more to learn. Navajo Grandma
i love that indian bread, soooo onolicious...mahalo & aloha!!!
I love your poly way of describing it is so perfectly said. Just rare and lovely to hear and more so on this big island America. Thank you with hozho!! Navajo Grandma
Thanks so much Grandma looks great
You are so welcome. Maybe some time when the opportunity is there, try making this. It is yummie. Navajo Grandma
Love yur apron. Beautiful design n colors. 👍🏼💜🌞🥰🌹
Thank you so much! Loves n hugs. Navajo Grandma
I wish I was there too it smells so good from here you make laugh comfort food of the gods, made to be shared
Well Doug you never can say never. For now you have my recipe and lessen the recipe into half and make some Naneeskadi for yourself and family. Put some wonderful meat in there with baked Anaheim chili. It is food for the Gods. I promise. Navajo Grandma
Made my mouth water too!!!
It is yummie. Navajo Grandma
Those flour tortillas are almost as thick as fry bread ! Mmmm! Wish I could have a bite ! Good timing for this video post to come to me. Someone gave me a big sack of Anaheim Chilies !
Wow, and yummie and that is what I wish someone would drag into my house at times. I love anaheim chilis. Happy eating and making whatever you do with them. I roast them, freeze them, make sauce and just purely enjoy. Navajo Grandma
I love you navajo grandma. My son Isaiah (5years old) says hey thats my grandma too..
My dearest grandson "Isaiah," what a beautiful name, a holy name, you need to be reverent because of this blessed name given to you as the man in the scriptures grandma knows was a good man, obedient, loving and kind and loved God." Thank you for saying Navajo Grandma is your grandma too, because Isaiah, "I am too." Thank you Isaiah. I am proud of your mother teaching you and letting you watch Navajo Grandma make Naneeskadi. Maybe some future day Navajo Grandma can make this for you and your Mom. Who knows.
Sonya I can only say, "from the mouths of babes." So holy are our little ones, teach him correct principles, keep him close, love him always. Your boys will always love their Mom. Mine while they were growing up would have water fights with me throwing cups or bottle full of water at me, well I was smarter than them, I would grab the water hose, turn it on, they would run into the house thinking I wouldn't go there, but guess what I did and plaster them with water. We all screamed and had such crazy fun. Of course, I cleaned the mess up cuz I was the one who brought the hose into the house. Sometimes they (4) would pick me up out of no where and I would scream being so high. They would throw me into a pool of water. Oh goodness, or they would just carry me around as I would scream. They loved that. Life is wonderful to have children. Please have fun with Isaiah, protect him, and enjoy drawing with him, read to him always from the good books and the adventures of Huckleberry Finn, old but good ones, clean and adventurous. Now I will stop as I am carrying on from your little comment. So many happy thoughts came to my mind after I read your precious comment. Well off to bed and don't let the bed bugs bite. Always our final goodnight. I have to admit children take everything literal, soon everyone would be in bed with me and I would say, whats going on. Their response, there are bed bugs in our beds and we don't want them to bite us. See so don't say that to Isaiah. They do take everything literal. So enough!! Love you Sonya. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma ohh grandma you are the sweetest.. I love all your stories.. You just made our day. I have so much love for my little boy hes my blessing. As i was not supposed to have kids i adopted and ended up pregnant at 37.. I am going to be 43 on december 9th.. Ive had cancer and beat it since then.. We've been through hell together.. His father left swore i cheated on him Cause he swears he isn't mixed when he was born as he was born white with silky straight hair. Weve been homeless as i am disabled my niece isaiah and i have been sleeping in our truck. I haven't tbeen able to find anything that we can afford..so we finally found a small 8x6 room we are renting now.. But we are very happy just The 3 of us. Im doing what i can and I'm sort of thankful they are experiencing this with me.. I know your thinking wtf lady.. Lol.. But i truly am because my kids are wonderful they are Social butterflies and talk with everyone. They don't have there nose stuck in the ground scared to speak to people.. They are so appreciative over the smallest things and i adore that.. Isaiah says hi navajo grandma you are incredible he said..
@@sonyajarquin6832 Sonya don't you know grandma and grandpa have been staying in our car? We lost our house, our means to have a house, our business, this dumb covid crap, then we had to put everything in storage. That is where we went daily to take our baths, wash our hair from a bowl of water. I scrubbed my husband down and we went out into the desert to make my videos, cooked out there and it was beautiful, serene, peaceful and just rejuvenating. We did this for months on end. That is when I felt like I was drowning and things weren't going well, I made a video for help from my Navajo Grandma family. It brought in close to $5,000.00 and because of the problems of dealing with Patreon and Gofundme I threw my hands up in the air and said, stop!! It was awful and still now as I am withdrawing they want everything but my urine sample, I swear. So still going nuts with that. So you don't worry to think grandma thinks anything. It shocked me that there were hundreds of trucks and cars almost looking like a car sales place during the evenings at Cracker Barrel parking lot, people sleeping in their cars, elderly, men, women, children, families, its crazy. This pandemic has brought such loss to many, but gpa and I have survived and made lemonade out of lemons. We have a room now also, we wait for the bathroom, but who cares. We are alive and safe. So we all have to do what we got to do. I am thrilled you are strong, you made it through your illness, the man who walked out on you --"its his loss!!" I mean that as you are just wonderful yourself and to hear your story is so common now in this Navajo Grandma family. I pray to lift those with needs, that like grandpa said, "sometimes you need to just be thankful you can breathe, so breathe with prayer and gratitude." He was right. I pray these videos help you three. Tell your little ones to be strong, help them find happiness no matter where they are or their circumstances, but children are so godly, they understand. I didn't know we were poor Dine' as white folks told me, but to me as a child, my life was wonderful, powerful and full of reality and happiness with my grandparents. I learned so much and I am better for it. I don't remember that we had poverty as we saw ourselves thru God's eyes and our hearts as He knows us. life is wonderful no matter what is dealt to us, You are an example of that. I had 7 children with zero child support, people hated me(white mormon church folks) they even tell me to this day that they remember what a bother I was, how I had so many kids and it was awful and more. I ask them, "did you ever think to come help me?" They shut up and walk away. So much for whatever God is in their lives. They always say, "what would Jesus do." Hmmm yes, what would Jesus do, love others, be their brothers keeper. We suffered but we also had immense joy going without. Christmas always came, we always had a birthday cake, a coat for winter, shoes for school even tho my children had hand me downs, the socks were mended and lasted. This is what makes us hardy, and our strength is in God. I pray you pray with these little ones and teach them who God is always. Man has flaws to the bone, God is pure and will always be pure and will always love us without conditions. So much for grandma's short response. I love you and thank you for suffering, thank you for being strong, thank you for learning and teaching God's precious spirits your children. Women do not realize what an honor it is to be called "mother." "momma" 'mom" It is an honor beyond honor. So grandma loves you and remain strong. Blessings await you 3. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
You have the most beautiful smile when you are tasting your food. Your passion shines through. I want to learn more about Navajo food and culture. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the compliment. Grateful for your watching my videos and hope you have subscribed for more Navajo cultural food and practices. I love sharing what my grandparents taught me. Ahehee (thank you) again. NAVAJO Grandma
Naneeskaadi, my first Navajo word.!!🙂
What a wonderful yummie FIRST WORD. Grandma loves you for being receptive and watching, learning and hopefully making this lovely bread. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Mmmmmmm. Nizshonii navajo granma. Gud with mutton. 🥰😇😋😎👍🏼🌹👍🏼🌹👍🏼🌹👍🏼🌹👍🏼🌹
Hey that sounds interesting. Mutton is such healthy goodness more than beef. we are blessed to eat this. Great comment. Ni masani
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!! Navajo Grandma
Ahiya'ee Grandma Navajo. I am definitely making this tonight for my brother to try. He is Jewish and I am native but he absolutely loves any native dish I make.
I want to come over and enjoy this with you. LOL! Enjoy and thank you for loving your good brother. Brothers are amazing awesome creatures. I had 2 of them, one died and I have 4 sons and they are amazing too. Love you so for being such a good sister. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Ahi'ya and may your brothers spirit rest with the Creator & all the relatives. My brother had 2 big Naneskaadi's, so delicious. Thank you so much for your channel.
Wow, this is progress that you had such success. Well done! Hugs! Navajo Grandma
could you show how you did the pork? I adore your attitude and enthusiasm! your so wonderful! many blessings on you & your family ~ hugs! crazy white woman
The spareribs I put into a cooker for 45 minutes and walla the skin just fell off and it was easy pickings and delicious!! That's it. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for educating us on Navajo food so heartwarming
Dear Walle Pop, thank you for kind comment. It is the end goal that all may feel this connection and the real personal experience and teaching from a Navajo Grandma regarding her cultural breads. The intent is to teach, and the learning comes from actually engaging yourself on your own thru instruction from Navajo Grandma. Hoping all enjoy these micro mini lessons given from myself. Navajo Grandma
Enjoyed watching you create a meal with love. It reminds me of the times I spent learning how to cook with my mother and grandmother. ❤
Thank you so much, these are examples of what it was like out in the reservation with my Paternal grandparents. There was always cooked food outside and that is what I adore. My mother was a wonderful cook over the coals no matter what it was. Thank you for enjoying this. I love it always. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love your teachings and history. Food looks so good. You are a wonderful woman to share with us all
Becky, what kind compliments you have given to me. You just shared Hozho with me & that is complimentary. Watch my new video on Hozho. The food is yummie just how our grandparents fed us. I hope you have subscribed as I would love to hear your thoughts on these videos. They are simple and humble. Hugs, Navajo Grandma.
Man, I can almost smell the chili. Yum!
Isn't it amazing when you watch it almost does come to your nostrils. More than likely you remember and associate a good chili you ate a while back. I love Naneeskadi with ribs and anaheim chili, its so h e a v e n l y!!! Love you. Navajo Grandma
I came across your channel and it made me cry! Thank you for your recipes and sharing the Dine culture! I haven't had these tortillas since I was a small child when my grandfather used to make this! Now in my 30's, I will pick this back up! Greetings from Colorado!
Hi sweet SARAH, welcome shi yazhi. I hope you subscribed to your new Navajo Grandma. Enjoy watching and learning shi yazhi. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are so lovely. Thank you!🙏🏼
You are so kind to me. Love you. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma ❤️. I was admiring your rug hanging on the wall. Did you weave yourself?
You are so kind to me. Love you. Navajo Grandma
@@masalachigirl I did not weave it. Our last Weaver who passed away was the one who made this and isn't it beautiful. I need to wake up and start weaving. I can do lines really well. LOL! Some squares but other stuff is not a gift yet. I need to go find a spider's web and wash my hand with it. But no grandma to bless me and pray for me when I do it. Any volunteers? Navajo Grandma
Howdy from western Colorado! Thanks for the lessons!
Hi there Tim from western Colorado. How far west, like Grand Junction area? Or further? I go to Hotchkiss now and then and Grand Junction. Beautiful state. I love to drive from the road to Grand Junction and go on the back road thru the canyon to Moab. Gorgeous. Didn't know there was such a wide spread beauty there. Thanks for watching and try your hand at this and please don't get addicted. LOL! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandmaHello, I live about 20 minutes from Hotchkiss near the town of Cedaredge. It is at the base of Grand Mesa. I just finished a big ol' Navajo taco! I fried the bread in my Grandma's cast iron skillet. She got it as a wedding gift in 1920, so it is 103 years old! I cooked my pinto beans and mayocoba beans all day long on my wood stove. Thanks again for the fry bread recipe! Take care, Tim.
@@timdybala7127 Tim I can't believe I didn't answer your comment. Thank you for sharing the information. We have gone to Hotchkiss many times doing work for some water issues that are there and it is pretty sad. But a beautiful place and Wow the valleys are gorgeous. I pray they remain as they are and now and then I see many buildings going up here and there. Beautiful place. Thank you again for your reply and sorry I missed this.

Ah man!! That looks so good.
Thanks for showing that.
Check out my frybread dough recipe and then make some Naneeskaadi yourself and enjoy. Navajo Grandma
Yum! Reminds me of butchering a sheep 🐑 Roast Mutton next video idea? Or Kneel Down Bread.. Steam Corn 🌽
Hey Dustin great ideas. I have quite a list already but will include these. Thank you. Make sure you subscribe. Navajo Grandma
Grandma Navajo; I love your stories and cooking! I’m sure your cooking is delicious! 🙏🏻💜👌🏻👌🏻😀
Thank you so much
Ahéhee 'Navajo grandma. You always have something new to learn. I love your recipes.
Thank you Karin, I love hearing from you and hearing you are learning some Dine' culture, foods, etc. It makes my heart happy. Spread the word. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandmaIt is easy to learn from you because you explain everything so everyone can understand. I send you a big hug and I wish you a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Navajo Carne asada, looks delicious
Yum galore. Thanks for your comment. Navajo Grandma
Looks fantastic!!!
Well, it is and thank you for your approval. This is the frybread dough that you bake not fry. Yum!! That rib meat fell off the bone & Anaheim chili was beyond delightful. Great comment. Navajo Grandma
Thanks for sharing your food.
Thank you too. Hope you can try. It’s yum. Navajo Grandma
Thank You❤
You're welcome 😊 and appreciate your gratitude. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Oh that looks so good.
Not only looks good, it is quite yummie. The best word for it. Try it, I have the recipe on my frybread video. Its nice to grill now and then. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Looks like čni "torts"; flour, baking powder, and water. Our family for it is "torch". Good with fried seaweed, deer meat (or any meat), fish, stew, peanut butter and jelly, whatever. The best bread for bologna samiches! From Pomo Country.
Thanks for sharing. Navajo Grandma
I learned how to make fry bread at 8 years of age and I was talking to a friend about it a few days ago. I guess Google was listening in because your video appeared in my YT feeds. For once I don't mind them listening in because they lead me to your vids. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
So welcome again Mr. Dude, glad to have you watching and learning with joy. Navajo Grandma
Yummmm....you make everything look soooo delish....
Well Theresa it is delish and wonderful. Plenty of carbs and try not to get addicted. It is so good. I love meat that is gentle to bite on that melts in your mouth with Naneeskaadi. Goodness you gotta try it. Yumm!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Lol
I recognize those mountains. That's excellent.
I'm going to make this next time a smoke a pork roast.
Lol, so you like the Sandia Mtns huh?? Mmmm that smoked pork roast sounds YUMMIE. Stay tuned. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I'll let you know how it turns out!
Just found your channel and must say you are so precious! I miss my mother and hearing you explain family values takes me back to my childhood when my mother and her mother taught me to cook! Family is everything and thank you for sharing family circle of love 💖🙏🙋🌻
Thank you so much! I am thankful these videos do bring back memories and that you write down these memories of yours, how you felt, when it happened, who was there, everything that you yourself felt or remember. Read them later again and see how you appreciate these written memories and even when your children read them, they will be filled with joy. Family history is vital with each of us who have a story to tell and that it belonged to us because we wrote it. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma your words of wisdom I hold dear to my heart 💛 much love and hugs 💖🙏🌻
My mouth was watering all the way!
I almost tasted it on my tongue!😋
Now i'm hungry even though i had just my breakfast!
Well, rather than tasting it on your tongue, make the frybread dough, build a fire with a grill and throw on the Naneeskadi with some good meat and baked chili. YUM!! Navajo Grandma
Looks delicious, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated, cooking outside .
I say anything cooked, baked or fried outside is tastiest. Thank you for watching but try it. Hugs. Navajo Gr
Grandma
MMMMM My mouth is watering too!
This is the same dough, one you fry the other you bake. Same recipe. Try it. Enjoy. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank You so much! ❤️ I can't wait to make it for my family! You are a true blessing ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy I found this channel! My grandmother was Diné. She passed away shortly after my dad (her son) died in 1984. I was just 2 months old and I never knew my Navajo side. For years I felt the pain and emptiness of not having my grandma or father. But not only that... not having my identity as being Navajo. Not having family to tell me stories and teach me about my heritage. Finding Navajo Grandma's channel has helped to fill this void. It actually brings me to tears. Will you be my Navajo Grandma? Thank you for all of your videos. It makes such an amazing impact on my life and the life of others. I wish my native family was alive. I wish I knew how to speak Diné. Watching these videos helps me understand my ancestors and their way of life. I have never stepped foot on the reservation. There is so much of me, that I feel is missing. Thank you for bringing some of that back.
My dearest Christina, yes, I am your Navajo Grandma, maybe not in real life or by DNA but here I am and I am so honored. Thank you for finding grandma. I always say to those who are new, come sit by grandma and her fire and warm your feet, come listen and hear her stories, her life and see your culture and tradition's thru her eyes and how she grew up. I was given to my Paternal grandparents, just for you to know, our Paternal grandfather is called "Nali" and our Paternal grandmother is called "Bizhi." Our Maternal grandfather is called "chei" and our Maternal grandmother is called "shi masani" "Shi" means my, mine. You can say, "Shi Nali, Shi Bizhi, Shi Chei, Shi Masani." Then I have shared most of the times I spent with them, how we traveled in a wagon and just life in general and how they taught me. I never learned English until I was 10 years old as my father explained to some missionaries I didn't know how to speak english and how was I going to talk with them? They said no problem, they put oil on my head and gave me a blessing. When I met my white foster parents the first thing from my mouth was, "Hi Mom and Dad, my name is Frankie blah blah blah." I almost fainted but I knew exactly what I said, I heard everything everyone spoke, it was clear, it was so wonderful, it was like a light turning on, the joy it gave to me filled me with wonder and awe and just happiness. Like a light bulb turning on in a dark room. I always heard white folks talk as we were the only Navajo family who had moved into a white town long ago. I use to sing in english and knew every word and songs but didn't know what I was singing. Now I did and I was overjoyed. So that is my story and my language. I did forget some Dine' Bizaad but eventually being around Shi Bizhi and Shi Nali, it all came back to me so quickly. I loved it. You are blessed to grow up where you did and I hope you realize how wonderful your mother is. Someday you will go to the reservation and see who you are and how many of your people are suffering. That is why Navajo Grandma is running for Navajo Nation President. Its unheard of to have a woman for president but its time. Too many many Navajo men have failed thus its time for a woman to lead. It is a Matrilineal society so its just right. I hope you understand. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
It's 1 a.m. And you're making me hungry. I've been making tortillas years, but wanted to see how others here make them. I wanted to see how you pat out the dough. I've seen frybread and tortillas deep fried, cooked on a hot pan with a thin film of oil which is healthier, and cooked on a dry comal/griddle. But Grandma, yours is the best. OMG, chiles and tortillas cooked over wood coals! I love Big Jims. Birds singing in the background, robins and jays... and the sound of clean, rushing wind! It must be spring, according to the birds? I'm vegetarian, but the whole thing still made me hungry. And you're the only one who also taught us new words. Thank you!
My dear Mary you speak like an angel!! Love your comments. Gma
Er me gerd ! I need this right now. 😂 Love from Albuquerque shared.
Well again, get moving and have fun making that fire, using the coals, using whatever chili you prefer and then baking the bread over the grill. Its a smell that is wonderful and happy memories with a taste of heaven. Holiday Hugs from Navajo Grandma
I moved to texas and fell in love with the Mexican food and I know if I live in your neighborhood you’d never get rid of me I’d be eating at your house everyday. My friends in texas are just like that . Have you eaten! I never went hungry . I made sure that I learned to cook every Mexican dish before I moved. I’ve been in NH for two years and I hate it here. I miss my morning tacos and you have me drooling over here. There is not one place here that has any tacos Mexican or native . More native need to open up restaurants all over .crazy but all my life my friends have been native from many tribes . I just lost two very close friends brother and sister from the Dakota’s within three days of each other. Their parents were very gracious people and I miss them so much.
Sad to hear of the loss of dear friends. Aside from that, you had me rolling in laughter then sobered me up pretty quick with the last notes. I do understand what you are saying. I was in Japan and almost died without frybread. Their flour was too fine like pastry flour. Eventually I was able to make some and floated for a while then back to rice and teriyaki this and that. I have to admit it was delish though. All you need to do is fix the fixin for yourself and you won't need to search high and low for Mexican or Dine' food silly. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma 😋😄
That LOOKS DELICIOUS! 😃WOW!!
I love frybread but Naneeskadi is my favorite. When there wasn't any oil to be had then it was time to grill the dough. Thus most of the time when we were on the road in our wagon, my Nali and Bizhi made oatmeal for breakfast, and grilled anything else that we had for supper. Whatever it was, it was absolutely delicious as when we traveled everything was cooked outside. Thanks for watching and learning. Navajo Grandma
I have a good reason to grow some Anaheim peppers in our garden ! Thanks Grandma !
That's great! You will enjoy this wonderful chili with any bbq meat you eat with the Naneeskadi. So dang good. Navajo Grandma
That looks just delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! You are very kind!♥️🙏
You are so welcome. You can make it with the frybread dough. Its delish. Navajo Grandma
i would have loved to cook with you, it looks amazing and you are so bright cheerful i just want to hug you LOL ❤️
What kind words of Hozho you give to Navajo Grandma. Yes, I wish I could bring everyone of you to my home and we would camp out, cook and cook out, drink Navajo Tea, tell each other stories, wash our hair with Yucca, build a fire way out in the back country, sit and eat again, warm our feet, tell more stories, roll in the snow, scream our ears off and do it again. Happy thoughts. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
New subscriber, here! Very much enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipes and culture!
Jennifer, Jennifer, welcome to Navajo Grandma's channel. I send hugs and video lessons the best I know how. I hope you continue to watch, learn and enjoy. Welcome again. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Ireally love to watch you , you remind me of my familey
Bertha what a Hozho comment. You must have a wonderful family. Hope you continue to watch and learn from grandma. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I know this is an old video, but I just discovered it today. I loved the anecdote about rich vs poor food, every dish has a story behind it, a memory of a person or culture. Thank you so much for sharing yours with the world. keep doing you and bringing joy.
What wisdom and kindness you gave to Navajo Grandma with Hozho. Hozho is giving "peace, beauty, balance and harmony. Thank you and yes it is something that we all need to know what others experienced thru life in these Native American reservations and how we survived and still do. There are always stories of these cultural and traditional ways. I just pray we as a people will retain these stories and show them and record them with gratitude from whence they came. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you, Navajo Grandma!!
Thank you. Navajo Grandma
When I spent some time w my sister on the rez, my sister made the dough but got called away 2 help a relative. I was given the task to finish shaping & cooking the tortilla. I never made tortillas b 4. I did my best wo a rolling pin. My sister came back & serve the beef stew & bread. None of the men would eat it; just looked at it. Until my sister said I made it, then the men became supportive & praised my effort. My nephew called it "home made navajo crackers." I made them too thin & crunchy. My sister told me navajo men won't eat their bread unless its perfectly round. Thats why they were just looking at it. That's the only time I ever cooked on the rez. I get told "too many cooks spoils the pot" go sit down n the living room & wait w the guys. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
What a wonderful story to remember. Please go write this down for those days you want to remember your life. I loved reading this and it brought back so many memories. Love this comment!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I can't wait to try chiles in the coals, they look amazing! Thank you for your outdoor cooking techniques and love learning the language and hearing all the little stories!
Meaghan without you where would my stories and teachings be? Spread the word and know how important you are. Tell me how it tasted. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you! I will!
I just had breakfast, and already, my belly is growling again! 😁
Remember grandma says, moderation in all things. Except frybread, haha. Navajo Grandma
These look as good as they taste! Thanks for making these!
Thank you for watching and hope maybe someday you can try making this. It is very good. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

It is yummie. Navajo Grandma
