- Navajo Grandma explains what ingredients she uses in her Navajo frybread /
Dah Díníilghaazh and why.
The Links below are what I have used in my videos. I chose to use avocado oil however, traditionally many use Lard for oil.
Hi to all my Grandchildren subscribers. I want to caution you when using the Avocado oil, it is very very heat sensitive, I would keep it on low high, close to medium, let it heat up. Remember grandma made a tiny ball to put in the oil to test if its too hot or not. If it turns brown instantly, do not use it yet, turn it down. Its worth the wait. Once your little ball of dough turns brown in more time, then it is ready. I wish each of you could come to my kitchen and actually see what I mean. Just be extra careful. Love to all!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma

My 1st grade son brought home a library book called Fry Bread. After we read it yesterday he begged me to make him some. Thank you for this recipe❤
Great comment. Happy he wanted to share that book and share the Mom will do it and end with a tasty learning experience. Thank you for using my family’s recipe. So happy to make it yours. Hugs to your son & Mom. Navajo Grandma
"grammas not young anymore" lies. You look, sound and act quite youthful. 🤗
Thanks for this.
I learned about BlueBird from Emmymade. ☺️
Hey good news, I have fallen in love with this milled flour. By the way thank you for grandmas aging. Navajo Grandma
Grandma your sweet wisdom of words in Navajo puts a smile on my face and my heart
Robert you always have kind words for Grandma and that is called Hozho. Thank you always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma and hozho grandma love you with all my heart
Moderation!!! Haha! When my children were small all we had was oil, flour, baking powder and salt. We lived off fry bread. A woman I knew lived a couple miles away. I would pack a baby on my back, another in a stroller the rest in foot to walk to her house for herbs from her yard to season my frybread so it wouldn’t always be plain. I’d grind up the rosemary and herbs use less water so it wasn’t as elasticity in the dough. People would come over and compliment my fried chicken. It was just an altered frybread to be denser seasoned with herbs I gathered.
I rarely ever make frybread now because of the times it was almost every meal we ate for a long time.
Oh I adore your comment. I can just see you walking there with your baby on your back, you sound just like me back in those days, and yes we ate lots of carbs dealing with life thru some poor times they say. Although we were utterly happy and didn't know we were poor, but the happy times included these yummie foods. My son said to me tonight, I love my Hawaiian foods but there is nothing like your cooking Navajo foods mom, its better than any thing I eat and miss it but I need to be careful now. I thought that was a nice comment as we hardly had anything, we had to use as less than less. If you know what I mean. Great lovely comment. I love you so and your example. I love herbs too. Navajo Grandma
When I saw the bottle of avacado oil on your first video of fry bread my search for who to watch was over. Deeply appreciate what you do.
Why thank you Gordon, although avocado oil is a high burn point, please be careful to make sure you warm up the oil slowly and not out of hand. That was my mistake when i first started using this oil. Amazing. Keep on being healthy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
As a child, my granny and grandad’s house was right beside the red rose flour mill. Many memories of that place. Grandads apricot trees shaded the road to mr roses mill. Grandaddy had a fruit stand. Lots of folks came for flour and stopped for fruit. What wonderful memories
Thanks for sharing. Yup I love that mill that has been there quite a long time. Like going home as my grandparents drove there now and then too. If you are talking about Cortez. Navajo Grandma
Thank you grandmother. I'm trying to watch what I eat but never gave a second thought to the salt. Take care and enjoy your day!
Yes sweetheart salt is sodium that if eaten too much can cause diabetes, heart problems, etc. But then again anything can. Use moderation in all things and pray over your food and live a long life minus health issues. Drink plenty water too. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
This was always a special treat when we were growing up, what we called theme were sopaipillas. , Fried beans, pork steaks, etc etc etc.😋
Love you grandma! I love that you educating everyone. I have a background in Sports Nutrition and I'm Vegan. Really enjoy this and I will be making a native taco with this!! yUM!
You can use almond flour and just going online I found more wonderful healthy substitutes you can use. I love your background in Sports Nutrition and being Vegan. Proud of you. Remain healthy is the bottom line. That is why I teach all my subscriber grandchildren to use moderation in all things as most are not vegan but to care for the food they ingest. Thank you for the comment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Many Blessings to You Grandma, you are so very kind and beautiful sharing all this with us. May Creator be with you always and forever. P.S. I wish you were my Gramma, I never had one growing up.
Blaze Hilton, how many of you subscribers have wished the same wish that I was your grandma. Well being online sounds so superficial but in essence I am your grandmother. I adopt you right this minute. I now have so many grandchildren sometimes grandma can't remember all of their names, but here again, I am still your grandma no matter what. I am here and will teach you the best I know from my Dine' culture and thank you for subscribing to Navajo Grandma, "your gma." I wish I could hug all of you subscribers with gratitude for taking your precious time to be grandma's cheerleaders. We all need one another. Love you so my grandchild. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you from my broken heart Gramms, I have no family, been on my own since i was 14. It feels nice to know I am your gramkid ❤
I appreciate the time you havevtaken to teach you culture I enjoy not only learn but also the language it is appreciated
Kim there is something about appreciation that is so Godly and wonderful. That those who listen and appreciate makes my heart happy. Thank you and I appreciate you for your comments. It is good. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love the fact that you're promoting the best ingredients to keep these very important cultural and comfort foods in our lives. Your suggestions are a great example of simple compromises and are worth the few extra dollars and the bit of extra time it takes to find them. Thank you for spreading better health. Hugs and love to you.
Hi my Lisa Lou, loved your comments as always. What you say is full of Hozho, truth and yes spreading better health. So here is to you with my cup of natural Navajo Tea. Hugs to you always. Navajo Grandma
I appreciate that you acknowledge how iodize salt is important. My dad was the one to switch us to iodize salt after he learned that it can cause health issues later in life, not many people know that 😊
Some say you don’t need it but it’s not true. Just use a healthier version.
Thank you. I just saw this. I’m with you on using the best ingredients you can afford. Hugs
Laura I am happy for you finding this video. Thank you for watching and seeing the better ingredients we need to use. Great comment. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
I so glad that their is a healthy way to this
Yes, Navajo Grandma
I am learning so much from you and your videos. Thank you soooo much. These videos fill me up with so much love...and food too lol. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Hey Grandma! Chi-miigwech (big thank you) for your recipe! I made this for dinner tonight and my family came for 2nd, 3rds 🤣 point is, your recipe was perfect!
Great job! Wow that is absolutely amazing to hear your success stories. THUMBS WAY UP!!! Navajo Grandma
Healthy eating is what Americans need now!!!! Thank you.
Yes, that is hopefully what happens. There are healthy flour such as Almond flour that works too. So good though. Navajo Grandma
Very smart to use avocado oil because you can crank the heat without its burning, plus the oil stays hot when you add whatever you're frying to it so the food doesn't absorb the oil.
THUMBS UP!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma has a nice, buttery flavor, too.
@@HotVoodooWitch Yum. Gma
Fry bread power!
Oh yeah! Yum. Navajo Grandma
Thanks Grandma...
I look to your channel like

The ingredients make all the difference for both taste, and your health!
❤️
Terry as we all get older we can't eat like we use to and we actually desire to feel better so that is in the ingredients for those of us who want to make better choices. But that doesn't mean if you use whatever ingredients you use is awful, its a choice we all make and no matter, "it always tastes so good!!" Hugs to you always. Navajo Grandma
Well here it is! The actual printed ingredients,ThanksThanks.
HOORAY, you found it. I knew you would. Happy Day!! Now tell me how your frybread comes out. Remember. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma my fry bread is not as good as yours but I’m working on it!
I love this video... your so sweet 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you so much!! Navajo Grandma
I love frybread
Raymond, don't we all. I always say and probably said to you already. "Don't get addicted please!!" We have frybread now and then but when we eat it, by howdy "we enjoy it." Yup. Glad you love frybread. Are you making it yourself or someone else?? Hahaha. Navajo Grandma

Thank you for the video grandma! I will try to cook fry bread even though I'm Spanish... Much blessings ❤️
Oh Heidi, it doesn't matter if you are Spanish, green purple or orange, its a wonderful treat. Love you. Navajo Grandma
You are right, it doesn't matter. But what I meant is that fry bread isn't a "typical" food here, so I never cooked before...I hope it turns out edible lol. ❤️
@@heidispring I hope you have tried making the bread. Let me know. Navajo Grandma
Yes,of course. I tried it twice and it went delicious. It's a recipe easy and pretty fast to make, more than I thought, so I will be making it many more times from now on. Thank you for sharing the recipe grandma! Have an awesome weekend ❤️
Great tips and yes I love flat bread❤
Me too!! Navajo Grandma
Awesome thank you. ❤
Thank you Jackie Bee. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I made it 🙌 it's awesome
Thank you for teaching me this.
Great job! Tell grandma how you ate it, with, etc. Very proud of you. So what did your wife say? Grandma likes to know the experiences when making this simple dough recipe. Hooray! Hugs to FLORIDA. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma it was awesome we made the Lou special with lamb 🐑 ❤ it was even better the next morning cold 🥶 THANKSGIVING was awesome 👌 thank you Grand Mother for teaching an old fool new tricks
@@johnlaird6541 You have such a cute way of expression that if you were here I would just give you the biggest hug!! I love the way you are my dear John. Oh my grandpa & I had lamb steaks with our frybread and we almost thought we had died and gone to heaven. The LOU SPECIAL sounded SUPER!! How darling!! Don't start on the following morning food, I love cold pizza the following morning and also my stuffing - heaven and earth!! Glad your thanksgiving was wonderful!! Gpa & I had eaten something & had a little upset tummie, decided Saturday would be our Tazhii day. We had cream of wheat for breakfast, cream of chicken for supper, then later watching a couple of movies, we snitched a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Oh my again, it was good. Today we are putting up some Christmas which I love!!! I went to the stores and its like a rampage of people galore so I left. Congestion doesn't sit well with me when you return from the Rez. There is ultimately no one there. LOL!! Well grandma loves you and your awesome comments. I just love your personality!! No wonder your wife nabbed you!! With hugs & love, Navajo Grandma
I send positive thoughts to you to long life
Thank you from Navajo Grandma
You're the BEST
Awww what a kind compliment of Hozho. Thank you so much. Navajo Grandma
Delicious 😋😁
Thank you 😋 Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma yw
Non GMO ingredients is vitality important awesome you are educating on the best cooking ingredients love that your outside in Nature next to a crackling fire 🔥....A’ho
Thanks so much. As we get older these ingredients can become improved as we learn more and more. Thank heaven for wisdom. Navajo Grandma
Avocado oil the best for frying and grape seed oil
All I can say is YUP! Thank you for your comment supporting Avocado oil. I have never tried using grape see oil, only for massaging my feet or having my daughter use it to massage my back. I will have to try it. Navajo Grandma
Hello grandma that is the truth we have to be careful so to keep up with the foods the agricultural department keeps you to date with foods that are GMO they are already poisoning us GMO fluoride in the water processed foods which creates dis ease high blood pressure cancer heart disease and more ancient grain is the best kumut spelt fonio teff when you get the chance look up Dr Sebi's nutritional guide
@@PS-mt5rp Will do and you are a wise grandchild for helping me learn more. Navajo Grandma
Grandma prey for the ingredients to make your delicious fry bread
Yes, thank you. Yes Robert, I was taught to consecrate and pray for all that I have and make. You are right. Navajo Grandma
😘👍👍👍
Well thank you and sometimes we just want to make food healthier, sometimes not. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
❤👍💜
Thumbs up to you and share grandma's videos. Hugs. Grandma
You don’t really need salt. So you can leave it out if you can’t have Salt.
Well, yes you are right and I could have said that, but I didn't. Nevertheless, iodine is also need for our health. Some use it and some don't. Moderation in all things. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are beautiful.
Back at you gorgeous. You made me smile. Navajo Grandma
Oh Navajo Grandma, I'm a trucker who's actually made fry bread with these ingredients in my truck, (messy but GOOD!!) My ears perked & a smile came to my face when you ended with "10-4." 😉 Keep on "roll'n" with ur good vids, over-n-out.
Oh Fish, you just gave an awesome comment. Without our truckers, we all would be eating dirt. You all are so important thank you for your service through rain, sleet and snow we see you all driving even scary roads and ice and still get through. I pray for those at times who's rigs turn over. I always pray for you all because I know how important you all are. Its not an easy drive, but you all do it. I got lost one time in California, pulled over in Bakersfield, I was crying in my car because I was trying to get to a place where my son was having a reception. This trucker told me I was going to be alright, he had finished his stop, then said follow me. I had no fear but felt that he was a good man who did want to help me. He honked where I needed to get off the road, after he instructed me my road map. God bless this dear truck driver. I got to where I needed to go in peace and sooner than I had imagined. God bless our truckers!!!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma THANK YOU for your kind regards to me & the other truckers out there Navajo Grandma. I'm so glad that driver saw your distress & helped you find your destination! ( That's old-school trucker helpfulness. Most now are too pressed by their e-log time clocks or we're worried about getting robbed, so many don't stop to assist troubled 4 wheel drivers.)
Thanks for your wonderful video productions NG! You & my little dog help keep me semi-sane here in the truck;) Rolling 8's to All, Over-n-out. Fish Whiskers.
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, Grandma. I appreciate your teaching us. Beside it is fun just to watch you and learn at the same time.
Hi Jamie my grandchild, love that you don't mind watching me. I watch me at times and I have got to stop fidgeting. I need a stop fidget pill or something. Try making videos and you get to see how others do. Scary at times. Thank you for your appreciation. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
This was best fry bread I ever made. So delicious!!
Candace, wonderful you made frybread and yes, it was delish right? Thank you for watching always. Hugs. Navajo
Grandma
Thanks for the video. This past year I have learned to make tortillas after 34 years 😔 my daughter makes better bread than I do. 😅. Is the frybread recipe the same for tortillas? How much Avocado/Olive oil do you use?
T Jay you are such a wonderful papa!! Yes, this recipe is the very same for the frybread and I use 1/4 cup olive oil. I don't use avocado but I guess you can. I use avocado oil to fry the bread with. Warning -- make sure you start heating this oil on low and gradually turn it up. Its a very very hot oil. Navajo Grandma
I will go now and see how I can order some Blue Bird Flour, no one in south Georgia carries it. I will take you word for it being the best, Navajo Grandma. I LOVE blue birds anyway!!!
I never tried it like I was betraying my mom and her Red Rose flour from the same company, milled the same..then I gave in when I kept hearing about its elasticity. Oh well I thought, well amazing grace, it was just as all Dine’ women celebrated about, just amazing. Now I am thrilled each time I make my frybread dough. It’s on Amazon as well or order direct from Cortez, Colorado. Navajo Grandma
Hi Grandma! I just want to comment on the Hain salt. I live in Georgia now and the humidity is usually so bad you risk drowning just taking a breath. I've used Hain salt for years but when I moved here it quickly became caked and rock hard from the humidity. You need a hammer and chisel every time you want to use it. I bought some Manishewitz kosher sea salt and it flows and tastes great. It doesn't have anti-caking stuff like the Mortons but still doesn't get hard. However it's not iodized. Just wanted to share my experience.
Thank you my dear Terry. True the Hain salt doesn’t have the anti-caking stuff, I love that. I put a cracker inside my salt container when we go to North Carolina. Or put a saltine cracker inside anything that cakes & it works. The cracker absorbs the humidity. Hope it helps you. Great comment!! Navajo Grandma your
Being born and raised in Phoenix Arizona my whole life I really appreciate this 🙏. Thank you Navajo Grandma you truly are a wonderful person.
Austin, what a cutie you are and thank you for watching and learning. Wow, you sound like you grew up around them thar Injuns out in Phoenix area. I have a home in Chandler and what I just said to you is what a cowboy said to me at a gas station. I just chuckled and smiled. Keep watching and learning sweetheart. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma lol thank you
I wasen't happy with the fried bread i maded.my man loved it but he loves bread so it doesn't matter I could get a cardboard box and put barbecue sauce on top says is bread and he'll eat it anyways I wasn't happy with how my bread came out and now that I look at your ingredients I'm going to try it thank you Navajo sister I don't want to call you grandma because we're probably the same age do you have a good day
Aileen, you made me chuckle. Thank you so much for trying and you need to congratulate yourself and be happy that a man who loves you will eat what you put in front of him. Few men are like that and he doesn't judge you and eats what you give him. How cool is that? We are our own worst enemies if I could put it that way. You may not think you did it right but let me tell you, it tastes good. You can't mess this up. Maybe its in the way it may have looked, or rolled, but really, you can't mess this recipe up. That's why he ate it and enjoyed it. Honest. Just make the dough again, roll it out and make it pretty like you wanted it and then smile and be proud of yourself. Hugs to you galore. One of the best comments ever. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Yes my mother always used salt with iodine when we were little
Great. Navajo Grandma
I am blessed to have two good friends. Good friends are like family. We’ve kept each other’s spirits up during this pandemic. We are isolated from our families here unless you live in the same household. Only seeing my sons and grandchildren when they come and stand outside the house. Hopefully the restrictions are being lifted soon. Blessings to you your videos are really interesting. 🥰 xx
I see you are making the right choices and thank goodness for windows. Yes, pray always, keep up the faith that soon we can all hug one another again. Words can hug too you know. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I love how you make an effort to use much healthier ingredients! 😀👍💞
FYI - Ghee (clarified butter) has a high heat point also, making it very good for cooking, and it is healthy! 🧡
Well what I always say is make this frybread dough your own. It’s a recipe but grandma’s, now whatever you want to add, etc., do so.
The (East) Indian grocery near me has ready-made ghee sold in big jars.
Peanut oil has a high smoking point, as well. Loving your videos!
Yes, and my warning I should have put on this video is that when you use Avocado or Peanut oil, please start with low low heat and let it heat up slowly to the temperature you need if using it. They both are super High Smoke Point. Yikes. I learned the first time I used it. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma experience is the best teacher.
Peanut oil is an oil made from the seeds which is the problem with canola & soy & palm etc.
Fry bread stay ..that is very 🥁 important
I am smiling. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Hugs and blessings back to you and I hope you are all keeping safe there. ❤️
That is my prayers for all of my subscribers. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
I have seen Blue Bird flour but never knew it was THAT good a product! Thankyou! Being diabetic, I use almost no flour for things I fix for myself😭. But I do baking for pot lucks and yes, Banok, Ojibwe frybread, so this is great to know! I use Avocado Oil. Good stuff! As for HYDROGENATED anything, it is a killer, a real artery clogger. I understand it has been banned in Europe because it is so bad! Check European imported foods and you won't find it in the products. But we're still using it here. Any heart or diabetic class will tell you to AVOID AT ALL COST! That goes for HYDROLYZED as well. Even "Partially". Interestingly enough , tasting products not containing this stuff, I have not seen any difference in taste, texture, looks or anything. So, why are they still using it??As a shelf life extender, if that is why it's used, that wont fly with me. Freezing, drying, canning, or if it gets that old, throw it out! I feel it is unnecessary ingredient and a killer.(When will they ever learn?)
Mikki look what you just taught us. Many of my subscribers take the time to read the comments and I hope your comment is one they understand. Great testimony. Great comment. I have tried Almond flour and others that you can check for that tasted just as good regarding flour for those who can't have regular milled flour for whatever health reason. Don't give up and keep up your good works. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Can’t go wrong with bluebird. I can’t get it around here, so my excuse when recipes fail. Wrong flour 😅
Hi, thank you for answering all my questions. I hope I did not offend in my curiosity. I just wondered those things. Have a beautiful night! Much love! Ruth
Ruth, you did not say anything offensive. Like my father always taught me, "if you don't ask you will never know." Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Love watching your videos. I’m learning so much. 💕😊
Hi there Karen, thank you so much for watching and learning. I love learning and teaching my youtube family, those who have subscribed and hope many more will come. Like I tell all, this is not 20th Century Fox, it is real, genuine, sincere, sharing a culture from the eyes of a real Dine' woman. All that I am I give thanks to my parentage. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
I cannot have wheat anymore. For some reason I cannot tolerate gluten anymore. My whole body gets sooo sick not just my guts. The more I research the more I’m realizing it is how our wheat is processed. I want to tread carefully and buy a wheat that is still an unprocessed Berry and grind it into flour and I’ll see how it goes. I’m only trying this because I was able to eat wheat when young I wouldn’t recommend if someone has celiac disease. Yes Ingredients are very important now that I’m older I feel it. Thank you. Hopefully I can make fry bread in the future.
Hi tracy, yes, I know what you mean. Here are the top best gluten free flours to use. Almond flour, Buckwheatflour, may have the word wheat in it but is not a wheat grain, Sorghum flour, Amaranth flour, Teff flour, Arrowroot flour, Brown Rise flour, Oat flour to start with. Hey some great choices here. Tell me how any of these turn out. Hugs to you always. Navajo Grandma
Spelt flour
Sprouted flour may work better for you. There are companies that make it fresh in small batches. healthyflour.com/product-category/sprouted-flour/
@@PS-mt5rp Einkorn or Emmer may work as well.

Fry Bread! Yum! 😁
No matter what, it is YUM. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
ALL tribes in North America have frybread! Cannot ban it!! I use avocado oil but not to fry with. I thought avocado was not fry able like olive oil. Glad to know! Never tried Bluebird flour. Never saw it in Michigan nor in Florida. But now I'm in Arizona so its good to know how good it is! So I must get that one next. Thankyou for all the great information! Miigwech🤗❤
Thank you Mikki Kas, I would like to give you a tip with avocado oil, warm it up slowly then test the bread pieces. This is a high point oil so be careful. Caution from your Grandma. Love you. Navajo Grandma
👩🦳🤝😌 Yatahey...
Yaateeh to you and thank you for watching and hope you learned something. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love your videos. I am not native american but I really want to learn more about the native american cultures. I really appreciate your history lessons along with your cooking lessons.
Hi the gypsy, welcome from Navajo Grandma. Welcome, stay awhile and watch, learn and enjoy. Spread the word. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for suggesting this video to me, glad I found it. I usually only use unbleached flour but bought some Bluebird at Cameron's restaurant and shop in Arizona for more authenticity. I only use Kosher salt for health. Thank you Native Grandma!
I guess you don't know but there is "unbleached Bluebird flour," just an FYI. Keep eating healthy. Gma
Thank you for all this info about making Navajo FryBread good to know.. I really enjoyed it! 😊♥️👍
Well thank you Christine for watching and learning. This brings me such joy. Learn and do. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Great video and thank you for sharing your ingredients to making a healthier fry bread. I grew up with it and back in those days we never thought much about the type of ingredients that would have a negative effect on our body. I agree with you on the Bluebird flour, it's a good flower to use to make fry bread. I'm going to try your ingredient suggestion and I'm sure it'll work for healthier lifestyle and maintain the Navajo Tradition.
Westly, why thank you (a big fat axhehee) for looking at this video. Be careful using the types of oil because the avocado oil is a very high point oil. You get that warm and its super hot. I tell others although it is a wonderful product, keep it warm and then move the heat up slightly and carefully. Its not like regular oils but very healthy. Thats if you think of using that oil, its very very expensive. I used it and almost lit my frybread to ashes instantly. That is called a high point oil. I also have gone to a natural food store to ask for other oils that are at a medium point and see what they advize. I appreciate that you see my point in this and how important it is for all of us in any cooking we do. Our bodies are sacred and we are intelligent enough to eat in moderation and not just buy junk food and think its healthy. The levels of salt in McDonald's and other go to places is awful. Then people add salt and jalapeno to it and good luck with your blood pressure and heart rate, it happens so quick as we are enjoying it our way. No more. I pray we all realize these wonderful ways of eating better. Naneeskadi is a better way to go as well as you are not frying you are baking on the grill. So much to learn and healthy. Keep up the good work.

Great tips for all cooking for everyday use including fry bread I love fry bread sadly at Taco Bell the fry bread taco is their best its the #6 on their listing of food, gets 2 fry bread tacos and a drink great grandma is the best options are important when shopping to think about these smart choices is great for all ages, especially for us older folks. Wink wink ;)
Sounds great! Navajo Grandma
Ok! Let's see what I can do with this! Thanks Grandma! Oh and you look sooooooo much younger than you probably are! It's very hard to say how young you are because you have wisdom only a sage wise older person can have.
It doesn't take wisdom, just desiring to use what is good for your body and doing research. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Love you great job I am 58 soon to be 59 and I am too looking at healthier ways to help my body and my husband's, I didn't know about theses products thank you soo much for the Intel!
So happy you appreciate the ingredients and yes we do need to always take care of what we put into these precious God given holy bodies. I was taught by my Nali to reverence my body and finally later in my years I know what he means. Hugs to you again. Navajo Grandma
Yesss... I will start using these healthier ingredients..Thank You so very much ❤️
You are so welcome. Thank you for being so receptive and seeing there are other healthy ways to make frybread. This is now your recipe and make it however it makes you happy. Hugs and love. Navajo Grandma

I absolutely love how you talk about healthy nutritious ingredients for making the frybread. I love your videos. Thank you so very much!
Why thank you again for taking the time to watch and learn. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Oh. Frybread is ok. The famous Indigenous bread is ok.
Well some folks can't eat regular flour etc so Grandma came up with some more options. I hate to say it but sometimes these carbs are delicious bawhahaha!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Hey, sweet "grandma." I'll be asking my son to make your fry bread.
Why "ahehee," Tide Kiosk, and report and let me know how it went and I know it will taste wonderful. You can't mess this up. Enjoy!! Navajo Grandma
Thank you for the link to ingredients video, will let you know how it goes. 🥰 xx
I shall be waiting. Blessings. If you use the Avocado oil, please be careful, it gets hot really really easy, put it on low and gently increase the heat. Thats if you end up using that type of oil. Otherwise use whatever. Remember to put a little ball of dough in the hot oil to check the temp. If it turns brown quick, its not ready and turn the heat down. If it cooks in a timely manner and turns brown, its okay. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I remember eating fry bread as a kid. thank you for the suggestions!
You are so welcome! Great memories. Gma
Hi 'Grandma'! Thank you for sharing your recipe... Blessings to you!
I love sharing with you. Thank you always for watching and learning. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma ... I think you are too young to be my 'Grandma', maybe I can call you Auntie!?! 😉
@@crazy4277 Sorry, you are my grandchild okay. I will remain your grandma even if you are 90 years old. We are family. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma 😁 I am not even 50 yet! Ha! Okay! I appreciate that! I have a very young Grandma! Thank YOU for teaching me!
You know what I was wondering Navajo Grandma.....
If you could do some videos where you talk about Dine' farming techniques....maybe even have a guest speaker ... I'm a wannabe farmer and you know everybody makes fun of farmer's but in an economic collapse people will have to relearn these things.....just an idea
Thank you for your consideration 😉
OOh you just brought my joy to my heart. Yesss. I will but there is snow all over and you can do this inside the house as with starter seeds but my druthers is outside in the warm sun. Lets do this when it gets warmer. Yes. great idea. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you
👏👏👏👏👏
GRANDMA, can i use BLUE BIRD FLOUR for making bread? i am searching for one flour that i can use for all my cooking/baking needs, thank you for another leason
I would. It surprisingly is wonderful. Try it and enjoy as it is milled flour and that is always my pick. I go to the mills and buy my flour, never to the super markets. Its just what I prefer to do. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you for your advice,
Fun video as always.I have a question- i watched a movie "Dream keeper" grandson going with his grandfather to a pow wow and ofcause there's fried bread in it but also a small thing that kinda stuck with me.A mother says to her son that if he wants to get a girls heart he should give her a (i don't know the English name for it sorry)the first piece of bread (like from a normal bread not fried).I was wondering why or where it comes from.Have a good day 💗
I don't know this custom as I believe in every custom men or boys should show respect like this to a girl he likes. Just a mother's wisdom to her son. Don't try to read into this. Its plain, respect. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you for your answer you really answer to every question,i appreciate it.I was just wondering if there was some interesting story, that's all.Have a great day 💗
Kroger also sells Blue Bird. I got mine from City Market in my hometown. We order Real salt straight from the Utah company, Real salt. It's mined and comes from ancient sea salt deposits and has all the great minerals our bodies need.
Good info for those in UTAH and near Kroger stores. Thank you. Navajo Grandma
Interested in that ‘real salt’ can you provide the salt mine name. I wonder if they ship?

We love you here in Louisiana grandma
Hi Todd, hooray for Louisiana, I love you all too. Grandma sends her hugs. Navajo Grandma
I have been looking for a fry bread recipe and I now have what I have looking for.
Hope you enjoy and use whatever ingredients that are for you. Make this recipe yours and own it. Happy to hear from you. Let us know how it all turns out. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you very much. I look forward to using this recipe.
Who gave Grandma a thumbs down? What is wrong with people?! Shame on you.
Amber, remember the smudging, if you haven't watched it, take the time to do so. Paw, paw, paw, let it go. Negatives and Positives are good. That is how we learn. Thank you for your defense, you are my sweet child. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma so quickly I forget to love my brothers and sisters and speak positivity into this world. I went and watched your Smudging video. I see now. Taking the negative and turning it positive. So I should have said, “whoever gave Grandma a thumbs down, thank you for watching, blessings be with you” 😊🙏
Grandma Navajo can you teach us how to dance I love seeing it but I would love to apart of it
Celina, no my kind of dancing is not for videos, I want to keep my viewers. I don't do Native dancing, I use to hoop dance a long time ago but those hoops don't go around my hips anymore:) So, no dear one, no dancing here, just cooking, singing and knowledge galore, etc. Thanks for asking.
@@NavajoGrandma ok still good enough for me I’m just glad to get in touch with my culture I really appreciate you
Thanks enjoyed very much
Hi there Frank thank you for watching and learning. There is more. Navajo Grandma
I watched your videos on fry bread and made it for the first time. It took some figuring out how to spread the dough by tossing it on your fist and back to the other open hand. The first bread was small in diameter and they got bigger when I got to the end. Now they kind of have a funnel cake type taste and smell but more thick than a funnel cake. It's easy to make and not too bad whipping up. Fry bread is really good hot out of the oil. Then I cooked some ground beef. Got refried beans and salsa and topped the taco with cheese. You eat two tacos, well you are full.
All I can say is I am very very proud of you. Time will make it all perfect. Just don't get addicted. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you very much. Yes the more I do things the better I get. I agree all things are good in moderation. Especially with food you can get sick. I used to eat whatever when i was younger. I can't do that without paying some price.
@@baaletsah1761 Keep up your good works. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
I made fry bread this week, but first I bought some heavy whipping cream, shook it in a jar to make butter, and then used the buttermilk in place of the water. It was very yum! Also now I have fresh butter this week.
Oh my if I knew where you lived I would come right on over and taste your wonderful butter. Its something that is easy to do and we don't even entertain it. I should make a video on it and you should send me your recipe. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I live in North Carolina but you are always welcome to come over if you are in the area.
@@alphabetsoup6681 I definitely will as we will be getting clients in that area as well as South Carolina as well and Georgia n Florida. Cant wait!! I will let you know. Navajo Grandma
