Delicious White Pizza made with Chicken, Spinach, & Mushrooms! This is easy because you cheat with a jar of bought Alfredo Sauce! Do not tell & nobody will know! ENJOY FOODIES! This makes 2 huge 18 inch pizzas! Crust: 3 Cups Bread Flour 2 TSP Sugar 1 Packet Yeast = 2 & 1/4 TSP. Mix all together. Stir in 1&1/3 Cup Cold Water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Now add 1TBS Olive Oil & 1 TSP Salt. Stir to combine. Turn out on a lightly floured board, be sure to use Bread Flour, & lightly knead adding more flour as needed. Lightly oil a deep bowl & place your dough, turn once to coat both sides with the oil. Cover & let rise until doubled about 1& 3/4 hours. Once risen punch down, lightly flour a flat surface, I do this right on my large baking sheets. Divide dough in half & roll out dough until it is about an 18 inch circle. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Position you oven racks to the second to lowest spot in your oven & the other in the middle spot! Once both pizzas are rolled out, pinch the edges to get that nice pizza crust edge! Now top with the topping you choose! I used the following: 1 15 Ounce jar of Classico Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce, divide between both pizzas, Next top with diced or shredded cold boneless skinless cooked chicken, about 1/2 pound per pizza 1/4 Cup Spinach Fresh Or Frozen Spinach that has been thawed, per pizza Sliced canned mushrooms drained, I divided 1, 15 ounce can between the 2 pizzas. Now top with 2 cups shredded Pizza Cheese, use your favorite! Sprinkle the top with Italian Seasonings. Bake 18 to 22 minutes place your oven rack to the second to lowest position to get a crisp browned bottom pizza. I usually place one pizza in the middle of the oven & then switch the 2 pizzas positions so each get that nicely browned crispy crust! Makes 2 huge 18 inch pizzas! Make both or freeze one for later! ENJOY! |

| Hungry for a donut? These are fast & easy! DELICIOUS!
1 Cup Mashed Potatoes, I cheated & made instant!
1 Cup Milk
1 Beaten Egg
1 TBS Shortening, melted
1 Cup Milk
1/2 TSP Salt
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/4 TSP of Nutmeg or Ginger
1 TSP Vanilla
3&1/2 TSP Baking Powder
4 Cups Flour
Shortening for frying you want about 3 inches deep
In large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, salt & ginger or nutmeg. To the mashed potatoes stir in the beaten egg, the melted shortening, sugar & vanilla. Now stir in the milk alternating with flour mixture. Stir well. Now dump dough out on a floured surface & knead for a few minutes. Pinch off small egg size pieces & pat into oblong shapes about 1/2 inch high & 3&1/2 inches long. Fry a couple at a time in a deep frying pan, I use my black iron skillet. Let brown nicely on one side then flip over each donut & fry the other side until golden & donut is puffed up. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels. Continue frying the remaining donuts. You should have 12 to fry all together. Once fried mix up your donut glaze & dip each donut, flip to get the other side & then place on clean surface for glaze to set up! These are done from start to finish in about 1/2 hour! SO GOOD TOO!
GLAZE:
2/3 Cup Butter
Dash of Salt
1 TSP Vanilla
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Hot Water enough to get glaze consistency.
Melt Butter in saucepan. Add salt & vanilla, stir Now dump in powdered sugar & stir. Now add hot water a few TBS at a time stirring & cooking until you get a thin mixture but not watery. Cook & stir, bring to a full boil. Remove from stove & dip each donut one at a time flipping each one one time to coat. Or you could skip the glaze & just powder them with the powdered sugar or dip each donut into melted butter then into sugar or into cinnamon & sugar! ENJOY!

| This is Amish food pure 100% Amish eating at its' best! This is a variation of an Amish Wedding Supper that I put into a pie shell! Hearty rustic delicious!
Pie Crust:
2 Cups Flour
1/4 TSP Salt
2 TSP Sugar
1/3 Cup Cold Butter
1/3 Cup Shortening
4 to 5 TBS Cold Water
Stir all the dry ingredients together Cut in the butter & shortening to make fine crumbs. Now stir in enough cold water to make the dough come together. Divide into 2 even balls. Roll one out for the pie & freeze the other or use to make Cinnamon & Sugar Roly Polys. The crust for this pie needs to be large enough to fit a deep 9 inch pie plate. Line the plate with the dough & fill with the following.
PIE FILLING:
1&1/2 cups cold leftover stuffing/filling/dressing
1 Cup Leftover Cooked Vegetables
3 Cups Cooked Diced Leftover Chicken/ Turkey/or Roast Beef
1&1/2 Cups Cold Leftover Gravy
4 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes, I used my Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
First layer in your unbaked crust is the stuffing, spread evenly. Then spread 1/2 Cup of Gravy over the stuffing. In a bowl mix the leftover meat, vegetables & gravy together then spread that over the stuffing gravy layer. Now spread the mashed potatoes over the meat layer. These spread better if lightly warm, so just warm them in the microwave for about 1 minute on high. Now sprinkle whatever seasonings you like. I did Pepper, Parsley & Sage. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour & 20 minutes! AMISH EATING IS YUMMY!

| Pretzel Stuffing? Why not? In Lancaster Pennsylvania we love our pretzels! Bread was hard to cone by with the COVID19 crisis so I thought, hmmm I wonder if pretzels would make good stuffing? Yes they did! ENJOY!
4 Cups of Utz Sourdough Nuggets broken into coarse large crumbs
6 TBS Melted Butter
3 Ribs Celery chopped
1 Large Onion Chopped
3 TBS Chopped Parsley fresh or dried
2 TSP Ground Sage
2 TSP Onion Powder
2 TSP Garlic Chopped
1 TSP Pepper I use White Pepper
3 Large Eggs Beaten
1 Cup Milk
Melt the butter in saucepan or in a large bowl in the microwave I use 45 seconds in the microwave. Add the chopped veggies & all the seasonings & cook until tender. I microwave I cooked them on high for 3 minutes, stirred & cooked another 3 minutes. Dump into the bowl or saucepan the broken pretzels, now stir in the eggs & milk. Let sit for about 20 minutes & then stir again. Now stuff the bird or butter a casserole dish. Roast chicken as you normal would. I roast mine at 350 degrees uncovered 1 hour with about 1&1/2 cups water in the bottom of the pan,then covered 1 hour uncover & cook another 15 minutes. If making stuffing in the buttered casserole dish bake 45 minutes covered at 350 degrees then uncover & bake another 15 minutes! Great slathered with gravy! If making a large bird like a turkey double this recipe! The gravy was amazing too Thank you UTZ for making a great pretzel!

| My Cheese Pinwheel Dinner Rolls are soft & gooey with melted cheese! These are great with any main course but very nice for breakfast & brunch too! This recipe makes 14 large dinner rolls!
3/4 Cup Scaled Milk, I put mine in the microwave on high for 1:45 minutes to scald! Use a deep bowl or mug.
1/4 Cup Sugar
3 TBS Shortening
1&1/2 TSP Salt
1 Packet Yeast
1/4 Cup Lukewarm Water
1 Egg
3&1/2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese or use your favorite shredded cheese
2 TBS Parsley Flakes
Scald the milk then add shortening, sugar, & salt, stir until shortening melts. Set aside until lukewarm. Stir the yeast in the water then beat in the egg, as soon as the shortening & milk mixture is lukewarm beat in the yeast egg mixture, I just use a fork. Now with heavy spoon mix in the flour about 1 cup at a time until it is all mixed well. Dump out onto a lightly floured surface & knead lightly for about 5 minutes. Put into a deep greased bowl & cover, sit in a warm place until doubled. I turn my oven on to warm & as soon as it is up to temperature I turn it off & then put the dough the off oven to rise. It took about an hour to double.
Once double dump out onto a lightly floured surface & roll out in a rectangle about 10 inches by 15 inches. Cover surface with the shredded cheese & then roll up into a log like you would for cinnamon rolls. Slice in about 1 inch slices making 14 rolls. Lay face down on a non stick baking sheets & sprinkle the tops with parsley flakes. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven! Serve warm!
