Mennonite Veal With Dumplings

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 11:41:00 -0500

One of my favourites, based on a recipe I found in Food that Really Schmecks (written by Edna Staebler). This is supposed to be plain old-fashioned comfort food, in case you're wondering about the lack of seasonings. It's wonderful when you just want something homey. Feel free to experiment with veggies; I've used green beans once, plus I add celery sometimes. This is a real treat particularly for dumpling lovers. -- posted by Lennie

A casserole for the nights you have to get a good meal on the table in a hurry. I love casseroles that use good ingredients and is a recipe that you can change to your own taste. You could add some other vegetables to this one. I just love the Dutch-Amish recipes. -- posted by Miss Annie

Amish Oven Fried Chicken

Fri, 31 May 2002 18:12:45 -0400

Amish Sugar Cream Pie

Tue, 08 Oct 2002 21:59:37 -0400

Clear Toy Candy [pa Dutch Traditional]

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 11:18:42 -0400

"Several people have asked how to make traditional clear toy candy. It is so simple that anyone can do it, but remember it is dangerous so no small children please. You will need: a pan, a candy thermometer, clear corn syrup, sugar, and water. No flavoring please - that is why it has a unique flavor. You may also add a small amount of red food coloring and if you are not very traditional you may use green food coloring which came into use in the 1920's. If you add no coloring it will turn out a beautiful amber." This is from the original poster when I did a hunt for it because making the candy was a big question for some friends. -- posted by DR. House

Ruhrei.... Mennonite Scrambled Eggs

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 13:01:19 -0400

This is a different and delicious way to make Scrambled Eggs, my MIL used to make them this way and we loved them! Very creamy. She said originally they used to make eggs this way to stretch the eggs further when feeding a large family, now we just make them because we like them! From the Mennonite Cookbook. *Caution: These eggs are of a very creamy and different texture and need to be fully cooked and set through. -- posted by ~Leslie~

Amish Meatloaf

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 14:50:03 -0500

Amish Potato Rolls

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 11:44:20 -0400

These are so soft and yummy! They remind me of some I had as a child that a neighbor made all the time. I am so glad to have found this recipe. For convenience I use instant potatoes a lot and it works fine. These are even better the next day which to me with bread is rare, so I plan to make them for Thanksgiving this year. -- posted by startnover

Wayne's Mennonite Noodle Soup

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:30:04 -0500

This is the soup that my husband grew up on. He comes from a Mennonite Family in Manitoba, and they just call it simply "Noodle Soup" but I would call it chicken noodle soup. Also cooked by the Pennsylvania Dutch ;) This will be unlike any other Chicken Noodle you have had. There are healing qualities in the cinnamon and anise, a great elixer for colds/flu. I love it, hope you do too! -- posted by ~Leslie~

The Best Amish Meatloaf Recipe

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:36:45 -0500

After traveling in eastern Ohio and eating many different "Amish-style" meatloaves, I finally asked for this wonderful meatloaf recipe. This one is not as sweet as the typical Amish recipe and has some garlic flavoring in it. We love it!! -- posted by SquadLeader

Amish Dry Lime Gelatin Salad / Dessert (Jello)

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:29:27 -0500

Found on www.AmishDining.com. A recipe seldom gets any easier than this one. Kids could make this with just a bit of supervision. My mother used to make something like this that had these same ingredients. This is much like her's, and since she was not a dessert maker, I am sure she would have opted for a simple recipe. Other flavors of gelatin work too, like Cherry and Strawberry which are perfect for Valentine's Day. NOTE: Times do not include the 2-3 hours for chilling time. Servings are approximate. -- posted by Kat's Mom

Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:49:23 -0400

Blueberry Friendship Bread or Bundt Cake (Coffeecake)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:57:16 -0400

Another way to use your Amish Friendship Bread Starter. If you don't have starter, use Recipe #153 to start the process. You can add a simple glaze of 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar mixed with 1-2 Tbls. of milk, or you can leave it plain. Can be used as a dessert or coffeecake. -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)
