    Super Blogroll: 5 Zucchini Recipes, Amish Wedding Buggy, Amish Cinnamon Muffins and Much More!

    Published: Jul 26, 2016 · Updated: Jul 26, 2016 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    By Kevin Williams

    I have a whole slate of interesting "Plain posts" to share with you today, so settle in and enjoy!

    5 ZUCCHINI RECIPES:  This week we once again check in with Gina over at the Home Joys blog.  Gina is the matriarch of a Mennonite family in Pennsylvania and she has a wonderful blog with a great mix of topics. This week she shares 5 recipes that help to use up the zucchini which seem to be multiplying and piling up this time of year. Click here for the recipes.

    AMISH CHILDREN'S PONY PARADE:   Checking in to Thomas Nye's blog, there are some super photos of an Amish children's "pony parade."  One can argument either way about how young Amish kids should be when they pilot a pony, but I don't think anyone can dispute that they really do learn some skills at an early age this way. Click here to look at these wonderful photos and context!

    AMISH CHURCH:  Tom Nye has another post about attending Amish church services recently.  I've attended such services and have had similar (with some differences from the way he describes his experience, but each church is different) experiences, click here for this insightful post.

    Amish Cinnamon Muffins from the semi-sweet sisters

    Amish Cinnamon Muffins from the semi-sweet sisters

    AMISH CINNAMON MUFFINS:  This is a wonderful looking and sounding recipe from the "semi-sweet sisters."  As an aside, I laughed and winced when I read her innocent words "I love making Amish Friendship Bread."  Gloria had a line in her column this week that was similar "I love making" something...but I changed it to "I enjoy"....believe it  or not, I don't make this stuff up, I had a lot of traffic to one particular post  recently which contained the phrase "I love making Amish" something and, yeah, I had all sorts of traffic to my site, but probably not the kind that would like Amish365.com   Soooo, anyway, enjoy the cinnamon muffin recipe here!

    OHIO AMISH COUNTRY:  A blogger posted her pictures - and there are some wonderful ones here - of her recent visit to the Holmes County area (she made a ghastly mistake, if you can only eat one meal there,  you should go to Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen).  Anyway, click here to enjoy

    MYSTERY AMISH COUNTRY:  This is a blogger who posted photos of her Amish Country visit but never says where....I doesn't look like Lancaster County, due to the buggy color....there are Amish settlements in  over 25 states so this could be anywhere, but click here to enjoy the photos....

    AMISH WEDDING BUGGY:  SIGH, if I could imagine my life 20 years from now it'd probably be this writer's.  Bruce Stambaugh lives in the picturesque hills of Holmes County, Ohio's Amish country and writes, ruminates, travels, just seems so idyllic.....anyway, I LOVE his post this week with a photo of a freshly festooned Amish buggy after a wedding ceremony. Click here for this great post and photo!

      LOL! Thank you Kevin for recommending Mrs. Yoder's! My family and I flew up from Florida to visit my husband's family in Cleveland and we were sorely at their mercy on the whole Amish trip. I will certainly make sure if we get to visit again to eat at Mrs. Yoder's. 🙂

        Good, let me know how you like it next time you make it that way - it is worth the journey! The Farmstead is nice, but can't hold a candle to Mrs. Yoder's. And if you live in Florida you HAVE to check out Yoder's Restaurant in Sarasota sometime!

    Kevin Williams - The Amish Editor Amish Cook Column

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
