Ham Dip
2 cups ground ham
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
½ cup salad dressing**
2 green onions, chopped, with tops
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
1 loaf French or round rye bread
Mix all ingredients (except bread). Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut top third off bread. Hollow out loaf, leaving a shell about 1 inch thick.
Cut up removed portion of bread into 1-inch cubes. Set aside. When ready to serve, toast bread shell at 400° for 3 minutes. Place ham dip in shell. Serve with reserved bread cubes and vegetable sticks. One package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach can be added if desired.
**Salad Dressing
Throughout this book, you might see “salad dressing” appear on the
ingredients list. This term does not refer to French, Honey Dijon, or your own favorite salad dressing, but rather to Miracle Whip salad dressing or your favorite equivalent brand. Use this or mayonnaise when the ingredients list calls for salad dressing.

I had anticipated this cookbook to be full of homestyle cooking but was sadly disappointed. Many recipes seem lifted from food companies' consumer recipes - lots calling for dry onion soup mix, cream of whatever soup, processed cheese blocks, etc. Fine if you like back-of-the-box recipes, not if you are a from-scratch cooker. Also a fair number of recipes do not list ingredient quantities, cooking times, or even oven temperatures. I had ordered this in conjunction with The Homemade Pantry, which is a far better cookbook for my tastes. I will be returning this Amish/Mennonite cookbook & will order the Pioneer Woman cookbook in exchange, which I checked out from the local library & am quite impressed with.

Not all recipes are Amish, but this is a good plain cooking book. Nothing fancy, no specialty ingredients which is what makes this book useful. Most cooks will have everything required for most recipes. Easy and flavorful. Good book for novice cooks (with the exception of a few recipes).
Reviewer: Jcanyon
There were many recipes I will try but to say that this is an Amish cookbook is misleading. It leads one to believe that all the recipes are Amish recipes and they are not. And its not just a few here and there. Good recipes and I will use it but its not all Amish recipes.
Reviewer: Angela
These are great recipes for people who need fuel! I already made the Wild Rice Soup with Chicken Dumplings and it is delicious.
Reviewer: Linda S
I have already cooked quite a few of the recipes in this book and I can tell you know, there is some wonderful dishes to be had in it!!! I absolutely love this sort of cookbook and was thrilled with how simple most of the recipes are. Most of the ingredients are things that one normally uses on a day to day basis, so this makes this book a plus!!! Every cook should have this one in their cookbook collection!!!
