MY REVIEW:  With each section of this wonderful recipe book, there is a scripture passage and prayer.   I appreciate the fact that the author includes some of her own tips for recipes, such as variations or substitutions one might use.    There is a section for "Best-Ever Breakfasts", "Midday Meals & Snacks", and "Quick & Easy Dinners".  The recipes featured are unique to the Amish homes.  I personally tried the Baked Oatmeal (this is good but I think I still prefer oatmeal creamier),  German Potato Salad (my favorite potato salad recipe ever!),  Shoofly Pie (My All-Time Favorite Amish dish!), Layered Lettuce & Pea Salad (a great summer dish), and Poor Man's Steak (delicious and tender).  I thought that it might have been a good idea to include a separate section for desserts as these recipes were simply included in the other three categories.   I also would have loved to have seen some pictures or illustrations in the book.  

       I rate this recipe book 4 stars and highly recommend it to adventurous cooks.    

       I received a kindle version of this book from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
