Three Traditional Homemade Recipes from Italy

My grandmother was born in a small town outside of Venice, Italy. When she was 7 years old, she moved to Canada with her parents and her siblings to have a better life. Her mother had brought down traditional recipes from generations before her. When my grandmother was 8 years old, she would learn the recipes to help out with her family and to make when she eventually had a family. My grandmother taught my mother and my aunts when they were growing up.

Grandma’s Cooking: Cherise, A Family Recipe

 
As a child, I loved food. I would always be pointed out for my large appetite and that's not something I've ever been ashamed to say. 
 
Food is life. 
 
Food is something that brings people together. I grew up in a big family, so our meal times were always hectic, but memorable. My great grandmother was from Portugal and she spoke very little English. Anytime I would have anything on my plate, she would say eat, eat, eat, you are too skinny. And so I did. 
 

Through the Eyes of an Educator: Normalize Rest

In my teenage years, I remember clearly going to a friend’s house and finding her Dad in his favorite chair, resting his eyes in front of the television. I remember thinking, why is he always napping whenever we’re over? Little did I know then that his napping wisdom was far superior to mine. 

Sure, when we’re tired, we might rest, but for many of us, that zeal to be productive usurps our consciousness and a voice of should screams, “there’s something else we should be doing,” so the rest often falls by the wayside. Bob was right.

Human Rights and Religious Freedom: A Compendium

Religion is an important part of cultures. Religion has the power to shape personal lives as well as communities. It can provide meaning and a sense of belonging to many people. It can also help foster community engagement. Religion is an important aspect of life and deserves to be protected no matter what the religion, faith, or belief.

The plight of religious refugees is a pressing issue in today’s world. Refugees often face harrowing journeys and uncertain futures. Some flee to neighboring countries for hope of sanctuary, even if temporary. Some are forced to leave home but are forced to stay in their homeland, as they do not have the resources to leave. Some make it to Western countries and willingly face unfamiliar circumstances and cultures just to feel safe.

Wahnapitae First Nation and Loss of Language in the Culture

There is a huge loss of language within Ojibwe culture from when the elders were much younger (such as 40 years ago) to our generation now. It was one of the many losses within our culture that has been the hardest to try and bring back.

Visiting Bhakti Mandir Temple

India is a diverse country, with numerous famous places. One place that I love to mention is Bhakti Hindu Temple, which is in Kunda, Pratapgarh, India. It was founded by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj Ji in 2005. This temple is very famous for its beautiful scenery and artistry.
