Amish Recipes!
Hi everyone!
I have to be honest: I almost forgot to post tonight! Today has been a crazy day. I completed a very challenging book rewrite last night, so I’ve been celebrating this weekend by having some special family time. Today I took my mother and sons to see “Toy Story 3,” and we loved it! It’s a wonderful movie. This evening, my husband and I went to dinner for our wedding anniversary. Tomorrow we’ll celebrate 12 years together!
I thought I’d share a couple more Amish recipes with you tonight. Enjoy!
Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers out there!
‘Til next time,
Amy

Happy Anniversary Amy. I are so into all of you Amish Hearts, authors. I have read everything that ya'll have written so far and I am waiting on all the new releases. I almost go into panic mode if I don't have an Amish fiction at all times. You all are great authors and I so enjoy all of your books.

I am always excited to try new recipes. I do have one question, you said "when cool, decorate with boiled icing" -- is there a recipe for the icing?
