    Amish Father's Day Recipes

    Published: Jun 15, 2014 · Updated: Jun 15, 2014 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

     

    Father's Day is one of those secular occasions that some Amish will observe and others will just let pass.   The day is probably less celebrated among the Amish than Mother's Day because by the time June rolls around schools are out and the little homemade cards or projects that the kids might make in school to bring home aren't going to happen.   But food will happen! Eating is a favorite among Amish Dad's during the summer, whether it is Father's Day or some other summer Sunday, so I thought I'd throw together a few recipes from the archives that might be appealing to all of you on this day to celebrate Dads!
