Foodie Friday : Mennonite Red Borscht

Growing up in a Mennonite family had its perks, and that included the food. My dad is the cook in our home and still to this day when he makes something traditional his children get an invite to either dinner, or to come and snag some leftovers if we can't make it to dinner. My father's mom is his inspiration in the kitchen and her love shows through the food as much as his does. This Borscht is no exception.
