Many families have that one legendary recipe that gets passed down through the generations. For Amanda Reger’s family, it was a noodle recipe… apparently a damn good one.
“[It’s] the best noodle you’ll ever eat and it’s famous in our family,” Amanda wrote on Instagram.
The recipe goes back generations. Amanda received the recipe from her grandmother, who got it from her mother.
It meant a lot to Amanda… so when she was renovating her home a few months ago, she decided to give it an extra special place:
She made it the backsplash of her kitchen!
Amanda used a copy of the recipe handwritten by her grandma and blew it up to wall-size, serving as both a very cool decor and an homage to her family’s culinary heritage.
“For me this recipe is comfort…family…Sunday dinner memories,” Amanda wrote.
The best moment came when she surprised her grandmother with the kitchen reveal. The family gave her tissues beforehand, knowing she’d get emotional.
“Oh my god!” she says in a video. “That’s my meemaw’s, isn’t it?”
It’s a beautiful idea, and for Amanda, who has her own children that she’ll someday pass the recipes down to, it’s a great way to make her kitchen a special place for years to come.
“It’s one of my very favorite parts of our home,” Amanda said.
