Here's some good, down-home Pennsylvania Dutch cooking for you--dried beef is very popular here. This recipe proves there's more that you can make with it besides 'S.O.S.!'

Supreme Cocoa Mix

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 20:03:36 -0500

I was in a search for a great cocoa mix that tasted very similar to the store bought kind. I tried a couple of recipes but they just weren't it. So, I combined a few of them together and came up with this! My family just thinks it is fabulous. You can substitute different flavors of pudding but we find Chocolate fudge works the best! -- posted by PAchefRebecca

LOVE this - from the Mennonite Community Cookbook. My mother made a skillet version of this a lot when I was a kid. She used fresh corn from our garden. Of course, fresh corn cut off the cob makes this recipe even more yummy! A great summer recipe. -- posted by SReiff

Big Brother Ted's Veggie Beef "stoup"!

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:51:58 -0400

An extremely hearty, aromatic and very flavorful rustic type soup/stew. My dear big brother has developed this recipe over the years by adding & subtracting ingredients and perfecting his version! I'm honored that I was able to persuade him to write out and share the recipe! It's a stick-to-your-ribs meal in itself but be sure to serve with crusty peasant bread and a big salad! Nothing subtle about THIS "stoup"! I do believe he adapted this recipe from some of the soups and stews our mother and grandmother made (both restaurateurs)-and that may account for the quantity!!! -- posted by bestbema

Chicken Popeyes (Bott Boi)

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 23:16:15 -0500

I have been looking for a recipe my mom used to make us as kids, for a long time and someone helped me out in the Zaar forums recently and told me the real name of it. This is what I came up with after reviewing many recipes and concocting one of my own. I am thinking the noodles aren't quite what I remember so I will be tweaking them and may repost a 2nd revised recipe later. Since this is a stew it freezes beautifully, and it makes a lot so I serve half of it and freeze the rest for a quick dinner some other time. -- posted by DbKnadler

I learned this recipe from an old friend's mother about 15 years ago. I was over for supper one night and this is what she made. I fell in love with the recipe and had to have it.

Rainey-Day Chilli

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:34:09 -0500

I can never find a chilli recipe that reminded me of my moms. So I made my own one day. I took what I could remember from hers and added some things. I just took a container to my pap for dinner tonight. I can't wait for him to call and let me know how it is. After hunting season I will use ground venison instead of the beef. -- posted by JLChic2814

16 Quart Chicken Corn Soup

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:28:35 -0400

My mom bought what she thought at the time was the biggest stockpot ever in 1998, and this is the first thing she made in it. I've always loved it and I make it when I can in my own 16 quart pot! It freezes really well, so don't be afraid to make it all. Cook the chicken a day ahead so you can refrigerate the broth to skim the fat off easier. Thanks Mom!! -- posted by Chef Skie

My Grandma's Pa Dutch Potato Salad

So many potato salad recipes try to make themselves better by adding unusual ingredients. I can guarantee those will be the ones still sitting on the table after the picnic is over. This recipe came from my Grandma who was born in the late 1800's and it's the only one we keep coming back to! -- posted by Cabin Cat
