Friday Favorites: Amish Oatmeal, Turkey Omelette, Deacon's Mashed Potato Cake, and Wickey's Variety Store

By Kevin Williams

I hope everyone's bellies are full and you're got family and friends to hang out with.  I wanted to share a few Friday favorites, though,to help use up holiday leftovers and a couple of other fun posts.

TURKEY OMELET:  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  Leftover turkey should be on a sandwich or maybe in a casserole, but in an omelet?  Some Amish cooks use it that way.  So here is a recipe for a "turkey omelet" to use up some of your leftovers.  Click here for the recipe.

DEACON'S MASHED POTATO CAKE:  Have a bowl full of leftover mashed potatoes in your fridge?  You can drown them in butter and salt like I do, heat and enjoy! Or you can make them into cake.  Check out this Amish recipe.

WICKEY VARIETY STORE:  It was almost a year ago to the today that I visited this very remote Amish outpost in rural, rural southeast Indiana.  Truly an authentic Amish experience, so if you are near SE Indiana, check this out!

AMISH OATMEAL:  Looking for a warm way to start your day on the coming cold mornings?  An Amish man in Vanceburg, Kentucky shares his recipe for oatmeal. Click here.
