About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Gather Around the Amish Table by Lucy Leid- Charming Combination of Recipes & Stories


My Thoughts:

Gather Around the Amish Table is a charming book filled with delicious recipes, delightful, color photography (a *must* in any cookbook) and engaging stories. The recipes are easy to follow, in fact my 12 year old enjoyed making Peanut Butter Granola and the rest of the family was happy to sample it when she was done! :) I personally can't wait to try Elizabeth's Soft Pretzels (they taste like Auntie Anne's Pretzels!). There are a few fun extras "recipes" included in this book: Homemade Baby Wipes and Bird treats are also inside. With the colder weather just around the corner, my girls and I will be busy creating Bird Treats for our feathered friends! Gather Around the Amish Table would make a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift.
