My Review~
As soon as I received this book,I could not wait to start looking and reading at all the recipes. It has recipes from apples to zucchini and everything in between. I have always been amazed with the Amish and when I have the chance to visit where they own restaurants I am so excited. But that is in Indiana and I am in Minnesota,that does not happen too often. But now I can make all my Amish favorites right at home with Lucy Leid! I have tried a few on these in here and one of favorites is the Cherry Coffee Cake~that tastes so good in the morning and it is so easy to make! 
Many of the recipes have stories with them too,so fun to read about the people that gave the recipes for us to make in our homes too.I love that this is nothing fancy,just good down home cooking and most of the ingredients you already have at hand.I love this cookbook and think that you will too!

According to the U.S government’s dietary guidelines, we should be eating three servings of milk, cheese or yogurt every day. Dairy products provide four of the seven nutrients Americans are missing the most, in...
