As we head into spring, we are seeing some spring recipe clicks creeping up!
🥗 Trending Amish Salads
Homemade Dandelion Gravy and Salad: This is a spring staple in Amish settlements. Here is a bit more about this delicacy: Dandelion gravy is a truly unique recipe in Amish country and there are several ways to prepare it. In some recipes, it’s really more about the gravy and less about the dandelions. You can make and whisk dandelion gravy in a cast iron skillet or a heavy metal pan. Ah, and definitely use the bacon grease! Hot bacon dressing, which is essentially what this dandelion gravy is, is a staple among the Pennsylvania Dutch in the springtime. Ask most any Pennsylvania Dutch person what their grandmother made in spring and "dandelion gravy" would be on anyone's list. There are many variations in the gravy, but most are spiked with crumbled bacon, onion, pepper and up to a cup of sugar, depending on the recipe. Some people also add sour cream to the recipe.

🍞 Trending Amish Breads
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Batter Bread: This is an amazing recipe. Here's a bit more:
Bread recipes are plentiful in Amish kitchens. Often there are just minor variations and differences between the recipe. I've had puffy loaves of homemade white bread in Amish kitchens and denser blocks of wheat bread. Either way, warm and slathered with butter, I'm not sure I've met a slice of bread I didn't like. SIGH, carbs. So I got this old recipe from an Amish woman in Indiana and it is delicious. Click here for the recipe.

Amish Wedding Steak: This is a classic in Amish kitchens, a simple supper, with a lot of flavor! Here's a bit more about it:
Amish wedding steak. It's a budget-friendly meal that is a tradition in some Amish settlements, primarily in northern Indiana. Amish weddings are huge undertakings that often require feeding 800 to 1000 guests. Obviously, you won't be serving porterhouse steaks to the attendees. The ground beef, cracker crumbs, mushrooms, etc are all a way to "dress up" the beef in an economical but festive dish. Click here for wedding steak!
