This Has Been Named New Jersey’s Most Popular Family Recipe

This is certainly the time of the year when everyone in New Jersey is thinking about family, and let's be honest, we're thinking about food too. When you combine those things, it equals great family recipes.

There are so many things to be thankful for this time of year in the Garden State. So many of us associate great memories with the great food that goes along with them.

And here in the Garden State, there is no doubt that food, especially made by loved ones, is near and dear to our hearts.

So, with that in mind, we wanted to dig deep and find out which family recipe is considered the most popular here in New Jersey, and sure enough, the research was done by the nice folks at Family Minded.

Each of us has a passion for great home-cooked food, and family recipes can be very emotional. Let's see if what the experts found matches what is in your heart.

For me personally, my heart and stomach always land in the same place. I love great Italian food, and there is nothing I love more than homemade Italian food. So, that is what I am rooting for.

I was about to be sorely disappointed. With all the great homemade food all over the Garden State, the article chose Pork Roll as our most popular family recipe. Wait. What?

Don't get me wrong. We love our pork roll. But how in the world does it fall in the category of the most popular family recipe?

I guess if you have great breakfast memories and your family had a special way to whip up some pork roll, you'd be happy with this choice, but I was hoping for a big helping of ravioli or gnocchi.

Well, maybe next time.
