Rosanna on the farm, she does it all...lifting bags to baking biscuits
By Kevin Williams
For newcomers here, Rosanna Bauman is our "Just Plain Kansas" writer. Â She is German Baptist Brethren, a Plain sect similar to the Amish but a bit more progressive. I forget how old Rosanna is. I think she is 27 now. Â She is a writer, teacher, farmer, entrepreneur, daughter and runner. Â I have a deep admiration for her scrappiness yet ability to stay within the bounds of her faith.
Her column, Just Plain Rosanna (formerly Plain Kansas), tackles issues of farm, family and food. Â It is usually posted here on Fridays, but Rosanna had a really busy week and she doesn't turn something in unless it is of the highest quality (as an editor, that is really appreciated...I hardly ever have to touch her work) Â So Rosana's column is delayed this week, but I thought it'd be fun to do a Rosanna-themed "Friday Favorites." Â Here are five favorite Rosanna recipes from over the years. Enjoy!
ROSANNA'S SKY HIGH BISCUITS: Â Rosanna muses about biscuits and shares an easy recipe for her absolute favorite. Yum! Click here for the recipe.
Rosanna's best-ever pie crust!
ROSANNA'S BEST-EVER PIE CRUST: This is a really good pie crust recipe. It has become our "go to" pie crust recipe in this household. Click here for her recipe.
WOW POTATO SALAD: Â This potato salad is the star of any Brethren church gathering. Â It is the shredded nature of the potatoes instead of chopped that Rosanna cites as the secret. Click here for the recipe.
FRIED DANDELIONS: Â Hard to believe it is that time of year, but here we go! Rosanna shares her recipe for homemade, fried dandelions. I think I did try the recipe shortly after she shared it and they weren't bad (really, is anything fried bad?) Â Click here for the recipe.
ROSANNA'S PIZZA PIE: Â Yum....Rosanna's homemade pizza and sauce. Â You'll want to try this one! Click here for the recipe.

Wow Rosanna is quite a woman. I am going to try her biscuits this weekend. Thank you. I read your emails everyday after my daily devotions.
