Native American

In these parts of Oklahoma  Native Americans are thick, they are commonly referred to as Indians. The tribes differ throughout the state and I personally am part of the Cherokee tribe. Since we have moved to foreign land there are few of my kind in our current location.

I always felt a little funny being called an Indian. The mental picture I get when the term is spoken would look something like this: dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin, and a last name that resembles some sort of animal (Blackfox, Bird, or Squirrel). Anyway, that is the view I grew up around.  As you have probably guessed I do not fit an ounce of the above mentioned description. But, if I handed you my Cherokee registration card you would see just how native this American is.

One item of food that is always a hit amongst the members of any indian tribe is Indian Fry Bread. Where I grew up the schools had fundraisers selling Indian Tacos. When we were in youth ministry the wrestling team would deliever Indian Tacos to your place of employment for a fundraiser once a year. There was always a guaranteed great turn-out/purchase order if Indian Fry Bread were on the menu. I must admit, it's delectable.

I've recently started making this traditinal bread as a treat for our family. It's just something out of the ordinary that we really enjoy consuming. I did not grow up on it, except for fundraising events but it will leave your tummy satisfied every time. And, because I love each of you like family I thought I should share the recipe with you. Hold on to your socks, because it's yummaliciously easy.

I hope you can read the recipe above...

Okay, so maybe not the most healthy meal of all time.

But any food is good in moderation.

Now you pile these fried pieces of goodness high with all the normal taco toppings. Then you grab a fork and begin enjoying the satisfying taste of Indian Fry Bread.
