We serve frybread in place of dinner rolls at Thanksgiving Dinner.
We also enjoy it as a dessert, topped with powdered sugar.
It's not pre-contact food, but it's delicious at powwows as an NDN Taco, topped with cheese, meat, beans, lettuce and tomatoes.
We usually make healthy choices, so we can enjoy frybread as a treat!

We never actually used a recipe for frybread, since she cooked by the “handful” method…”a handful of this” or “a handful of that”! So, I recreated her recipe for y'all to enjoy!
Happy Native Heritage Month!
