    🥗 Trending Salad

    Amish Broccoli Salad

    Beautiful Broccoli Salad: This salad is just enormous popular for all the big holidays: Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and, yes, Christmas! Here's a bit more about it:

     this beautiful broccoli salad recipe is definitely a keeper!  The recipe comes from an Amish woman in Navarre, Ohio.  Navarre is at the northern edge of Ohio's "Amish archipelago."  Some of you may know Navarre as home to the Nickle's Bread bakery, the smell of which permeates every corner and crack of the town.  The rolling hills and temperate climate of this part of Ohio makes it ideal for growing gardens full of broccoli, some of which can be used in this delicious salad recipe. Give it a try!

    🥘 Trending Suppers

    Oven-Baked Chicken: This isn't a Christmas entree per se, but people still have to eat regular supper in December and this recipe is a good one. Click here.

    Amish Ham Loaf: This is an amazing ham loaf that is perfect for Christmas dinner. The recipe has deep roots in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Here is a bit more about the recipe:

    This type of ham loaf is also a very common part of Lancaster county cooking among the Amish in Pennsylvania.   Typical of Amish cooking, the glaze on this ham isn't like a pineapple glaze or some other fruit, most Amish glazes tend to be sweet, sugar with vinegar to balance it out.  You could even add some ketchup to this brown sugar glaze.   Because of how common this type of ham loaf is in the region, some would refer to this as a classic Pennsylvania Dutch ham loaf.

    Amish Holiday Molasses Cookies

    Amish Molasses Cookies: These are perfect for the holiday. I mean, what goes better with Christmas than molasses? Here's a bit more about this recipe:

    In southern Amish settlements, homemade sorghum molasses is a staple in the pantry.  By autumn the sorghum season is done for another year and the fresh molasses find its way into all sorts of baked goods.  If you are not a molasses fan, you'll still like these cookies because they aren't overpowering in their molasses taste

    Most Amish cooks would use hamburger from their own supply of freshly butchered meat. I saw these at an Amish farm once and you'll definitely get a juicer flavor with meat this fresh.
