Baba's Recipes

A collection of family recipes that have been passed down through generations is a treasure trove of delicious culinary creations. The dishes range from traditional Ukrainian fare like borscht and pierogi to new and exciting family favorites. In our homes, the kitchen is the heart of the family, where we gather for meals, celebrate special occasions, and share in the joys of life. There is nothing quite like the taste of a dish that has been perfected over years of trial and error, and our family recipes are guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning taste buds.

An Excellent Kitchen is both common and practictced in our homes, where food, faith and social gatherings are woven together. Food is definitely what inspires great conversation and builds memories.

Our newest generations are developing excellent skills at age old family favourites as well as branching out to new 'family fave' recipes!

Family Vacations and Travel

Danielle and Walter have always believed that travel is an essential part of our lives. We have been encouraged by our mentors and friends to take a year off to refresh ourselves, reconnect with each other, and remember that the world is a gift from God. This year, we were able to explore as much of the world as possible with our parents, a true gift for us and our children. Although our year of travel and exploration has ended, we still live life to the fullest and continue to explore through travel.

Family History

Our family takes great pride in our coat of arms, which is not only beautifully designed but also holds significant meaning for each member.

By tracing our family tree, we've been able to uncover fascinating stories about our ancestors and the roles they played in shaping our family. Our history spans over several hundred years, and we make it a priority to pass down our knowledge to future generations. To ensure that our heritage remains strong, we encourage all members to travel to significant family settlements throughout the world. We're proud to say that many historical documents in various places hold our family's history, and we're constantly seeking out new information. Our family's past is essential to our identity, and we will continue to preserve it for generations to come.

The Kowalchyk Family has strong family connections that are fostered through travel and regular weekly gatherings with relatives who live nearby. Although our family line is based now in Canada, we value and pay homage to relatives from other countries. Traveling together has allowed us to create memories and bond with family members who live far away. We cherish the opportunity to explore new places with loved ones and feel that it has strengthened our familial relationships.

Local gatherings with family who live closer provide a sense of community and support system that is greatly appreciated. Overall, the Kowalchyk Family prioritizes family connections and make a conscious effort to maintain and strengthen them through regular interactions and international travel.
