In celebration of Grandparents Day, we invite you to explore Our Stories From the Table—a collection of family traditions shared across generations. From cherished recipes to heartfelt memories and photos, these stories honor the intergenerational bonds in our families that keep culture, love, and connection alive. Join us in celebrating the meals, moments, and legacies that bring families together.
Submit your story, recipe, or memory that honors the grandparents, grandfriends, or older loved ones who have helped shape your life.
“In my treasured chest of memories is a picture of my grandmother cooking and working in the kitchen, where she would hum and sing hymns and choruses. She was a great cook! I remember every Friday she would make fish and a dish from her country Barbados, called COU COU. To this day the memory of her singing one of those hymns, “Tell me the Stories of Jesus,” still echoes through my mind and often soothes my heart in troubled times.”
– Rolanda Pyle, in honor of her grandmother, Ada Pyle.
“My grandmother is living proof that grace and strength can exist in the same breath. She is our family’s historian, prayer warrior, and safe place, a walking testimony that love heals and wisdom guides. To be shaped by her presence is to know what legacy feels like while it’s still here. I’m proud to say I am her first grand, Jamarl D. Clark, carrying her light forward.” – Jamarl D. Clark
