As we grow up we learn about our family and the history that is held within it. We all have family secrets that we hide from the world, today is the day I reveal one of ours to you. Whenever my grandma comes over we make a huge dinner. Each diner has different things within but what we never forget is the pie. Our family has tons of recipes we made, my favorite is pumpkin pie.
My grandma makes a different pie with each one of my siblings. It all starts from scratch. We make the dough and mix it up. After that, we put it in a pie tin and start pinching the perimeter of the crust. Then we get to make all the yummy stuff inside of it. At some point, we get distracted and start talking about something off topic. We tell one another about the school, work, dreams, and so much more. It is such a great time to just bond. The best part about it is you do not just get a sweet conversation but a great pie as well.
When it comes to family recipes is not what makes the secret so great, but it is the genuine happiness you get when you are spending time with your family. The stories and all makes it truly special.
