I'm not the AMAer (?) but welcome! First off you should know that if your mother or her mother, grandmother, etc. are Jewish then that means you are too! Some of the staple Jewish foods that come to mind are challah, lox and bagels, hummus and pita, schnitzel, falafel, shawarma, kugel, cholent, rugelach and babka (the last two at least in my Ashkenazi community). Also, Passover is coming up so you may want to look at matzah, though it's one of if not the worst of our foods in terms of taste but very symbolically significant. I hope you'll learn more about this part of your heritage and I'm happy to give you resources if you want them. Just know that Jews, yes even the Orthodox, are largely loving and caring people and not the demons we are characterized as.
