Although Amish recipes use simple, natural ingredients, their flavor shines. They also use tried-and-true methods that have been passed down from generation to generation. The result is incredible dishes that stand the test of time. Our list contains some of the best Amish recipes you’ll find, and there’s a little bit of something for everyone. We’ve got recipes for traditional baked goods like cookies, bread, donuts, lemon bars, and don’t forget the buttermilk biscuits....

We’re really trying to think outside of the box (jar?) when it comes to all this jam we have. Because you can only eat so much toast. Our abundant jars of fig and peach and pepper preserves need to be used somehow, and I’ve been looking for creative uses for them. So far I’ve found the apricot jam to be the most versatile. It’s great on grilled cheese, and as we discovered with this recipe, it makes a fabulous glaze for chicken....

I say hot dish, you say casserole. Either way, it won’t change the tasty factor of this recipe. Here in Minnesota, casserole = hot dish. But for the sake of the rest of the country, the world, Google and Pinterest, I went with casserole. Broccoli Cauliflower Cheddar Chicken Casserole is a recipe that comes together rather quickly and one the entire family will likely enjoy. It’s a healthy, comfort-food dish that’s especially perfect for busy weeknight dinners during the cooler months (although it can be enjoyed year round)....

I can’t imagine it gets much better than two thick layers of moist, dark chocolate cake with a chocolate cherry buttercream filling and rustic swirls of cheerful pink buttercream, all topped with ruby red maraschino cherries. Like many young girls, I had a dollhouse, a log cabin-inspired house that I built from a kit with my dad. But, unlike most other girls, my dollhouse didn’t have any actual dolls in it....

Kohlrabi may look like an alien creature, but if you’ve never had it before, you’re in for a treat! It has a taste and texture similar to broccoli stems, but sweeter and not quite as odorous. This is our second year as Caney Fork Farms CSA members, which, unlike other CSAs we’ve been a part of over the years, offers a year round produce box. The fact that we can still get fresh produce in the dead of winter still astonishes this raised-in-Colorado girl....

Granted, other than the floors (goodbye gross dog-stained carpet) the changes are mostly cosmetic. But it still makes a huge difference when you compare what it looked like before… Of course, more big blank walls that still need art… Patience, grasshopper, patience. We may still be lacking in the big art department (that’s an investment I’m not willing to rush into), but these two small pieces that we hung above our nightstands delight me to no end....

One of my favorite family recipes of all time is for a chocolate swirl cheesecake. And unlike other cheesecakes I’ve posted, this one is not an heirloom, passed down through the generations. Rather, it came in a pile of junk mail. It was a promotion for one of those monthly ‘recipe club’ type subscriptions, where you pay up front and get the snazzy binder, and then every month get a stack of new recipe cards that you are then responsible for sorting yourself into the various divided sections....

The BEST Mediterranean Chickpea Salad I really really love chickpea salad, and my kids do too. They love garbanzo beans by themselves, in hummus, and especially in this delicious salad packed with Mediterranean flavors. This salad is super simple to make, once all of the chopping is done it comes together in minutes. You can change this salad up a bit to fit ingredients that suit your taste preferences or that you already have on hand....
