My PA Dutch father taught my mother to make pumpkin pie, as well as apple pie with the topping, and bread pudding. Aside from that, my NA mother refused to let us know diddly about our heritage. Customs, language etc.

One thing for best results if you follow the recipe I gave you for dog food
feed sole meal of my food no kibble then they would defeat each other kibble alone maybe small spoon of fresh on it should not issue feeding the fresh may not want kibble again

That's sad. Mom was one quarter Cherokee. I'm the last generation that could be tribal legal but Grandma Alice never enrolled or if she did the paperwork was destroyed in a courthouse fire down in Kentucky. I have her picture and yep, she's NA. My cousin has dug into the family tree and all she can find out about her is documentation that my great grandfather married a Cherokee woman named Alice. Other than that she is a complete mystery to everyone to the point that I have one of the few existing pictures of her.

I'm very proud of my Cherokee heritage along with my Irish and German heritage. Dad was bilingual speaking Pennsylvania Dutch German. I picked up a little of it but not enough to be fluent. I used to laugh and tell dad he was handy to have around when we watched old WW II movies cause he could translate for us.

Grandma was first generation American spoke German quite fluent sadly after my stroke I have no memory of most of it

That's sad, Penny. I have a lot of fun with the local Amish. I can pick up a word or two of what they are saying when they speak PD around me...which I find to be very rude but got them to stop doing it when I told them my father was PD and spoke it fluently. They just looked at me wide eyed and said 'then you can understand what we are saying...?' I just smiled elusively. Never answered. Made them live in fear and watch what they say around us.
