ABOUT ME

I'm Rose, and I started this blog in 2014 as a way to share my recipes and my love for all things food. I also desire to honor and glorify Jesus in all that I do.

Welcome to my blog!

...and this is my family My wonderful husband Merle of 20 years,  our son Jake (18) an daughter Sara (14).


We took a family vacation to the west coast last year (2013) this picture was taken in LA.





I love cooking, baking, hosting parties, etc., I enjoy sit down, pass the food around the table kind of meal.

I think meals should take somewhere around an hour, my kids however....don't agree, they want to eat and go off to something other than sitting and talking.
....so maybe its just me but I LOVE good conversation and food....well most anything is better when you involve food...or maybe its just an Amish thing.

I grew up Amish and our family loved all things food, making food, eating food, get togethers with good food, food was important! :) Our family's motto was "We live to eat" NOT we eat to live.

When I met my husband (he was also a Amish kid) they totally just ate to live.....B O R I N G !! They lived a meat and potatoes kind of life, they grew or raised most of the food they ate, they did however enjoy pies, pudding etc... they weren't completely deprived. :)

Although my family also did grow a garden, we still liked to try different recipes and have more variety because who would want to always eat the same thing, unless of course its like chocolaty or gooey something.

Now there was one rule in this marriage of ours, I had to let my mother-in-law teach me how to make homemade bread, now I was a bit reluctant to humble myself to do this but......I went, (cause that's what a submissive, good wife would do)... right?
Well turns out that was a wonderful idea, I now make that bread ALOT! My family thinks store bought is like....I don't know....weird or something, if I put it on table they say - "don't we have any real bread?"  SPOILED they are!
